Hope it does stay dry for the spectators sake, it keeps changing on metcheck, its usually pretty accurate.

Not looking much better Down South

Southend [Europes Largest FREE Airshow] usually attracts "good" weather

Don't worry.. we've booked good weather, they just don't want to make it obvious, or people will get suspicious!

Forcast is looking dry now. I reckon it'll improve during the week. It'll still be great anyway. A bit of wet on the track will spice up the handling circuit!

BBC is usuall wrong

Metcheck.com - Global Weather Forecasts - [Updated on 23 May 2007 at 11:00] - Weather Feeds - Live Data - Long Range Weather Forecasts

Elvington is a very different weather climate to York itself, its almsot like a micro climate.

There are some slight discrepancies as well depending on whether you choose 'Elvington' or 'YO41 4AU'

The latter is slightly more favourable, at the moment, the points are about a mile apart, and the post code is still a few hundred yards from the track area, so it may pass us all by

I have a feeling it won't lash it down, but maybe a little moist at times.

Mmmmm, moist

Checked the forcast to-day and Sunday is not to good so the Scooby coat is going to come in handy
Do all the events still run if its lashing down?
