Sites for weather focused on horse racing?

Oh Christ.

Abandon thread! Abandon thread!

Strong likelihood that it could all turn a bit demented.

I thought that a thread with (what I assume to be) mostly UK guys could talk safely about weather without turning bad....

What's turned bad?
You got some good answers and then we've just had a bit of 'banter' about it. Was there much more to discuss before class was dismissed?
(unless your joking)

I was! (Didn't want to tempt the Brexit orgres out)

FWIW, our opinions on Brexit are probably very similar from what I've read.

My own approach includes bulk-buying soup, candles and baseball bats. I accept that's probably niche....

TFFT I thought you'd had a sense of humour failure....but it turns out I had !

mmmm Brexit seems to have turned into a battle between those that just want it done fast, and those that want it done properly. I suspect the same debate goes on in bedrooms up and down the country.

I do my own weather forecast

Seriously? There's no need these days for pine cones and tapping the barometer, the weather forecast is on internet now and I'd guess it's more accurate than your forecast.

You can get access to most complex weather forecasting systems now and they allow you to look a bit further ahead and interpret the data in your own way. So if you have a sport that reliant in one way or another on the weather you can get minute by minute updates or look a couple of weeks out at what the models are predicting and the certainty of that.

Do you want to share a link for that?

I read from that that you use the weather forecasts into the future to trade and want your own models to aid that. However, I can't think of any sports that you trade where that would be an advantage.

The main sports I can think of that are affected by the weather are cricket, tennis, football and horse racing.

You have said you don't trade cricket, so that narrows it down to three, but I struggle to see how long range forecasting for these 3 sports is of benefit.

Horse racing the markets don't go up until the night before bar the few antepost markets. By which time future forecasts have become irrelevant. The on the day forecast can be of use but I would be surprised if the time and effort in creating your own forecasts is worth the reward and it is going to be of fairly niche use given that most of your trading doesn't involve weather from what I have gathered.

Tennis I can see the on the day forecast being of use as it can affect the game, but again long range forecasts I don't see an advantage in producing.

Football, I can see how the weather may effect the playing surface being of slight use but other than that I don't see the edge.

So I must be missing something pretty major as you must be putting in a fair amount of time and effort and making a worthwhile return from producing your own forecasts rather than just using the pretty accurate off the shelf forecasts you can get in 2019. And even with these forecasts in hand, outside of cricket, I don't see much practical use
