The Raymarine meteorologist, Libby Greenhalgh, was asked some tough questions. What’s the weather going to be like for the Race? Oh, and by the way, what’s it like in South Africa for the England v Algeria game tonight?! Her official weather briefing is at 1800 at the ISC.
Thankfully Libby knows plenty about the conditions for the RTI Race. It’s going to be dry and warm and the stable weather looks set to continue with high pressure dominating. The early starters can expect 8-12 knots from the north and there could, potentially, be record-breaking conditions when the wind increases to 17 knots around the back of the Island during the morning. More on that front tomorrow.
