Weather reports from the last weeks in Cheltenham with highs and lows
Not sure if you can get specific rain amounts from here but it's a good indication of what the weather has done.
I think from tomorrow the Cheltenham website and Turftrax cover the going/weather etc...

Tells you exactly how much they've had....weather station is in the middle of the course. Only 0.5mm in past 24hrs so far. Chance of a heavy shower around midnight.
Models consistently showing wetter weather over next 2 weeks, some very heavy bands passing across the country. Its really going to be case of where it lands, heavy stuff will be localised and hard to predict exact location until within 12 hrs.

Met office say nothing major til Sunday night/Monday morning and then dry again... Should have at least some good in the description? Also very windy Monday which will dry it out.
it'd been sleet in cheltenham pretty much the whole day. I'd be surprised if it isn't soft / soft in places after today as there's quite a bit of surface water now.

This is good imo isn't it? A week ago we were worried about it being a road. Proper jumps racing ground.
In 2018 I despaired when it snowed just before the fest and it was gonna be heavy ground. A whole rake of favs won!
I mean this is just my completely unqualified view so I wouldnt read too much into it - but light rain/sleet still going now. I'd think something with soft in part of description day one would be perfect

I've just been up Cleeve Hill and its like the fucking antarctic up there. Town is fine though. Lots of rain and surface water
Course now updating daily. That was this morning. Let's see what that sleet today has done to the ground. Heavy rain today or just intermittent rain?

Im a million miles from knowing what I’m talking about but recognising the ridiculously low water table I’m thinking that it would need a significant amount of rain the actual week of the festival for the new course to start on soft ground? Any clerks on here
