At a press preview for Cheltenham's BetVictor Gold Cup meeting on Monday, clerk of the course Simon Claisse damned John Kettley with faint praise by calling him the "least inaccurate of the forecasters we use" and went on to say Kettley was predicting 5-6mm of rain midweek. Oh dear.

By the time that press release had hit my inbox, the Met Office had already issued weather warnings for the area, while other sites were suggesting up to 50mm could fall – Cheltenham seemingly got most.
