Phil’s Weather Brief

This page will be updated whenever I have time to do so. Update usually by 07.30 ish each morning but occasionally on the day before.

Note: The forecast sometimes appears before the time stamp. This indicates that I am still editing and it is subject to change.

A word about finish times - these are conservative and where cross country speeds have declined let’s say to 70 - 80kph
(I know some of you like to extract the last thermal out of the day and will go on later!)

When no distance is given this reflects considerable uncertainty.
