East Winds

[just ask me]

early predictions for some already this week it could be east winds again ive never seen as much

To be quite honest, since I started up 2001/2 time, I think the wind here has been predominantly easterlies. When I was at school, I was taught the prevailing winds were south westerlies. Not any more methinks.

This is the only year I've known it to be east for so long there normally long gone two races back

Its normally the case we get a flow of nor'easterlies for the first month of racing then it swings round to westerlies be it backed by north/southerlies. The wheel has fell off that this year and as a result a lot of people have been struggling obtaining and/or maintaining form in their lofts. Up till now its being a testing year and thats for sure.

[just ask me]

wonder how long more will it keep up

Did hear tle that the weather was changing, and a such Eastlies will become the predominate winds.

If that indeed does become the norm, then I can also see a vast amount moving to the west for a change lol

east winds always have and always will throw up some upside down races with birds ending up all over the place , has always been the same as far as i can remember , even when we got to worcester or cheltenham somtimes you would get an east wind and you woulds time a bloody latebreed and your proven birds would not appear , some get them some dont , its just part and parcel . some ye win some ye loose
