Only one weather forecast gives a chance of clearish sky on Friday.
I tried to convince myself it would be worth driving down to Rother on the off chance of clear dry skies - failed  :(


Yet another DSC bites the dust  :!

BBC Weather shows a completely clear sky for Kelling and Rother on Friday night.

I think Rother has had some rain every day this week with more forecast daytime over the weekend.
Meteoblue are showing 100% cloud coverage at high level on Friday and low level on Sunday.

Fortunately the seeing will be good so a clear view will be had of the clouds  :-?

It's doing better than my garden, then. Got enough here to make things slightly damp yesterday, but that's all...  :brolly:

What you should do is move it BACK to Blacklands, mostly clear there from memory, seems like the move in venue has wiped it out.

According to Meteoblue, Blacklands does have a slight edge over Rother for cloud cover

Weather forecasters are as good as bloody politicians - useless.

It's frustrating that a few days of rain can make Rother unuseable (being selfish because of the shorter journey and having the van)

I'll check the weather reports again tomorrow and there's a possibility of few clear hours for more than one night I'll throw all my stuff in the van and give Blacklands a try

Hi,

Possibly not worth it, but our neibours are on holiday so you could park there and come into the Garden?

Doesn't seem to be any changes in the forecasts so I guess it will have to be at home with TV and beer again  :roll:
