Dismal Stuttgart Weather

[gh]

text from the WAF says it's in the 50s and very damp.

Also a posing of the question, "The optimists and the pessimists are debating the question--is the stadium three-quarters empty or one-quarter full?"

The BBC said it's probably colder in Stuttgart than it was in Gateshead a few weeks ago!

[az2004]

in other words. it's good soccer weather....or XC...

guarantee you it is colder in stuttgart. gateshead was wet but not that cold. stuttgart had a forecast of 59 F.
folks it is september, this is a summertime month, it should be sunny and warm at the minimum.
this is probably why they choose greece for next year. i think you will find the southern european countries getting this meet a lot in the future. i hope

[gh]

well they also chose it cuz Stuttgart won't have a stadium anymore! :-(

Ah, Stuttgart! We lived in Stuttgart-Vaihingen for 3 years. The cultural scene is first-rate, and there are some splendid restaurants. As for the weather, umm ...

Universal Sports coverage is superb, competent commentary. A perfect Saturday morning.

I spent 10 days there last summer and was very impressed. Wonderful central city, fine museums, nice overall energy, and beautiful surrounding country...

AFAIR, the weather at the 1993 WCh was wonderful. Hot and sunny pretty much throughout the 9 days.

Yes, but that wasn't mid-September.

Yes, but that wasn't mid-September.

Agreed, but it was also nice and warm for the WAF last year. The temperatures this weekend in much of Europe are unseasonally cold.

As it was the year before at the WAF in Stuttgart. This time of year, in this part of the world, the weather can be less than ideal. After two WAFs with really good weather, I guess they ran out of luck this year

As I recall the '86 Euros in Stuttgart (somelike like August 26-31 if memory serves) the first 4-5 days were terrific, then we got really gold rain and the place turned dismal quickly.

I've stayed in Stuttgart three times and found it a terrific place to be a "tourist." I'm greatly saddened at the prospect of no more major meets there.... ever?

From what I can remember, it was dismal for pretty much the entire week.

The first 4-5 days were definitely not terrific weather-wise. Zola Budd was forced to wear shoes for the 3000m final (and heats I think) because it was so wet.
