According to the local weather forecast, the Indian summer conditions in the Czech Republic will be replaced by rain (much needed) in the midweek and chilly days at the weekend. The daily maximum on Sunday is forecast to be 8˚C.

It is necessary to bring warm dress, especially if you are going to spend the day in the grandstands, which face north.

Note, however, that the weather conditions in about the seond week in October often change rather suddenly, and the weather forecasts for Velka Pardubicka day have frequently been quite wrong in recent years.

It has been very dry at Pardubice for the last 2 or 3 years, but there is nowadays a good irrigation system at the course. Even if there were to be less rain than is forecast in the next few days, the going is not expected to be hard.
