Wind, rain and cold just about everywhere for the next 7 or 8 days. A good week not to be playing Championship cricket.

Not sure how reliable long range forecasts are but it looks like more of the same for the next two or three weeks.

Incredible isn't it, who would have thought it? Unsettled weather in the UK in April and rather too chilly to be paying to sit about in the open for hours watching sport. You can't really blame the ECB for getting caught out with this one, can you? It's easy to say first class matches should be played during the warmer summer months but that would be being wise with the benefit of hindsight, no-one could expect this sort of weather in spring.

True but the last two Aprils have been fantastic as was March this year.
That's the thing with the weather now you can't be sure about anything.

Lousy forecast?

At the moment the lousiest forecast looks like the one made by those posters who predicted we would come first second or third in our poll

i was due to umpire at saltburn today, thankfully it has been called off. i did not fancy the sleet driving off the north sea or watching the icebergs float past, absolutely baltic. and only 17 days to scarborough.

I hope the weathermen have got it wrong, or our match v Essex will be severely shortened due to rain and end in a draw. It`s forecast to be cold, wet and windy every day for the next week with the exception of tomorrow (when there is no cricket).

Cue of course Stu, a positive result in every match!

They'll probably be wrong again.

Im sure that our club will be looking at ways to refund or reward the members who have may have lost (unless you can watch cricket in 6-8 c wind rain and hail) around 20% of CC games by the weekend.http://uk.weather.com/weather/10day-Leeds-UKXX0078
