Weather for Cromwell tonite (Read 686 times)

[rebel1]

We are staying in Queenstown ( 60kms from the track ). The met forecast for today in Qtown is for rain followed by showers. I know that it can be quite different in Cromwell but there is rain clouds on the rain radar over the south of the south island so if people could update what it is like near the track, we would be greatful. Fingers crossed Macgorians that this amounts to nothing and is just a panic attack on my part ;D !

Light but steady rain in Qtown at the moment. Looks localised but hard to tell

I aint no weather expert.....I usually look out the window - if the grounds wet its raining - if its dry it's not!

going by whats been reported on TV over the last few days it sadly looks like speedway in the South Island is (at the least) in for a scare with a Southerly motion moving up the Island over the next couple of days.

Lets hope its nothing more than a few showers and then moves on for all tracks running this weekend - Cromwell, Ruapuna, and Blenhiem

Totall agree sdemon. We fly out of Chch Sunday nite for Auks so if there is a rainout on one of the nites then we are .........
Still thats our fault for not taking another day off or two just in case.
Still raining in Qtown but the weather could be very different the other side of the gorge. Heres hoping !

Rain stopped in Qtown and definitely clearing. Not sure which way the rain is heading. Looks better towards Cromwell but would love to know from someone closer. Hopefully no news is good news !
