Race day weather: 24 Hours of Le Mans

6/17/2016

By Doug Schneider
The occasional showers that have been around Le Mans for the past several days will be coming to an end on Saturday as the slow-moving low pressure system finally exits and high pressure begins to build in from the west. I can't rule out a few sprinkles on Saturday, but any precipitation is probably going to be so light that it won't be measurable (less than 0.01 inches or 0.25 mm). The most likely time for a sprinkle looks to be in the afternoon, so it is possible that it could affect the first few hours of the race. Again, I think it will be so light that it might not have much impact.  There will be a bit of a breeze on Saturday, from the west at 10 to 15 mph (15-25 km/h). After sunset, which is at 10 pm, the race will have dry conditions overnight with partly cloudy skies. Sunday will have a mix of sun and clouds through the day, with high temperatures near 70 F (21 C). 

I'll be posting live weather updates during the race on my Twitter account @Race4caster.
