Thirty days and spoils the crops.

Exactly the same here, typical TT weather even though there is no TT this year.

It’s the same every year, glorious weather through May then mist murk and wet first two weeks of June, so that the marshals spend all day sitting on the mountain looking miserable just in case it clears up and they can race. Usually, it doesn’t, and they can’t.

Why they don’t hold it 2 weeks earlier is beyond me.
