In that case, as an official 'regular' person. I predict it's gonna be warm and sunny.

A little rain over the next two weeks in Le Mans will keep the grass green and the ground soft, perfect for camping, then the sun can come out in two weeks time

Never give up hope. But a little shower doesn't hurt if the temperature is warm enough.

I must be the only one who's least favourite season is summer... everything above twenty celcius is agony. Even rain is better than sweltering heat...

(Snowy) winter is the real joy.

Not talking of LM but generally:

You can always diminsh the effect of rain with umbrella and/or rain gear, same with proper warm clothing in freezing winter temperatures... however there is no escape from heat, sure you can wear lighter clothes but at some point there comes edge to that... and there isn't always shade around, plus if you need to keep moving it doesn't come into question. Also sunburns... my face especially burns very easily, whether or not there is protection

My ideal seasonal (fantasy) cycle would consist of 8 months of (snowy) winter, 1 month of spring, 1 month of summer, and 2 months of fall

You can always protect yourself from extreme conditions. But handling camera equipment, mobile phones etc. is not so much fun in rainy conditions.

Well yes nobody would want that (other than for giggles) but I was just chitchatting generally just saying that if I had to choose between say 25-35 degree sunny day or 5-10 degree rainy day, I'd choose the damper option... something like 10-20 is ideal for my summer

And yes wanted to have some Rebellion spirit.

Then again trying to look at those LCD screens etc is a bit itchy in bright sunny conditions too and sweaty hands touching them is as annoying in the wet...

But these are all nitpicks

I'm watching the Indy 500 right now, the weather over there would be just fine, looking at those people on the infield without t-shirts on in the sun.

No, I'm with you on that.

Colder weather far easier to handle than heat, and if I was given a choice between a sweltering Le Mans and a cold rainy one I'd go for the latter every time.

When we had the warm one in 2009 (and okay, I'll confess I didn't drink enough water and spent way too much time in T34 in the sun) I ended up really suffering in the late evening - not something I think I really want to revisit.
