random but for some reason I dreamt that the forums got overloaded with traffic during the ceremony and crashed

And at 4:30 exactly on Eurosport 1, the British coverage of Paris 2024 has begun. It looks overcast but they're outside without umbrellas. Let's do this!

If you can't beat the enemy, join him. I hope the rain is not constant and that it doesn't ruin the show and is used to make it more epic. After all, wet hair looks more artistic. I hope it doesn't affect the pyrotechnics or the lighting.

However, I don't understand why there is no roof on the Trocadero grandstands. Are the commentators going to use umbrellas?

Lots of talk about the rain already :( How bad is it? On the documentary it looks like there's gonna be a lot of rooftop dancing/parkour type stuff, I hope it's ok

Heavy rain showers from 8:30pm - 9pm until the end. The only uncertainty is the total amount of rainfall over the entire ceremony. We are talking about 15-20mm at the moment.

Not if the roofs or pavements are wet.  There goes that story-booked idea of the Flame-Thief atop Notre Dame!!

Ah well it's already starting to rain in Paris. Well.

Are you in Paris? Would you be out watching?

This really gonna be the first rain ceremony since YOG Nanjing 2014 eh?

Such a shame :( I hope it doesn't force too much alteration. The Tower is looking more visible than it was on Eurosport so hopefully that's a good sign.
