The weather forecast looks shit for Ardmore tomorrow, on Metvuw.

I read that as "may be acceptable in the afternoon" - I'm certainly taking my camera gear to work. For another view, look at weather underground (enter 'Ardmore, New Zealand' if the below doesn't take you there). www.wunderground.com/q/zmw:00000.3.93110

The weather app on my phone has a very disheartening outlook for today:

Sitting here in my lonely office in Sutherland watching this thread and wishing I was at the fence at Ardmore...... Remember the weather when the last one flew was a bit "iffy".

If you were sitting at the fence today you might get very wet Ando.

Hood Aerodrome would be a better place to test fly the Mosquito today....beautiful clear blue skies, sunshine, and only a mere hint of a gentle breeze....

If you were sitting at the fence today you might get very wet Ando. Currently you would be getting damp, rather than wet. But I wouldn't be taking my camera out of the car.

On the rain radar, it looks ok as close as say Mercer Airfield!

No-one's managed to crack teleportation yet, have they? I'm on the edge of my work-provided seat!

The webcam at Ardmore is not optomistic for flight looking north... I think it has lost focus with a very wet lens or front glass... But the eastern view is better...
