After days of deliberation and faced with a forecast getting soggier by the day, Santa Anita officials have decided to postpone opening day of the 2025-26 race meeting from Friday until Sunday, Dec. 28. It's just the second time since 1976 that Santa Anita will not open on the day after Christmas. The other time was in 2019 for the same reason: wet weather. More than eight inches of rain are projected to fall between Tuesday night and Friday at Santa Anita.

"We do have a nice area of low pressure sort of anchoring itself just to our west. And it is trying its best now to drive plenty of rain-laden moist air up and over us for most of this week." He continued: "And at the same time, we do have a cooler northerly flow which is developing just off to our north. And these two weather systems are sort of meeting head-on for most of this week."
From the beginning, my mistake was not realizing how drastically the weather can change from one region to the next. Now after visiting the country more than eight times, I've become an expert on what to pack for a trip to Iceland. I've learned that a backpack filled with back-up waterproof jackets and pants are a must, and that having more layers is better than just wearing one.
News from the ground is that the weather is looking perfect. It's hot out there around 32 degrees at the moment. It looks unlikely that the rain that crushed Pakistan's hopes in Colombo yesterday will travel up north to Visakhapatnam to put a dampener on this game. Share 1. Rubya Haider 2. Farzana Hoque 3.

Hello and welcome to Match 9 of the Cricket World Cup! Today we've got Australia taking on Pakistan, which should be an interesting match up. Pakistan are yet to win a game, but they bowled admirably against India. Their batting hasn't yet really fired at this tournament, which left them with a big defeat to India and unable to match it with Bangladesh. Against a very strong Australian bowling attack, they will need a hugely improved batting performance if they want to be in the game today.

"It's mainly down to how changeable it is, and also the fact that we can't plan anything or rely on it," he said. "People are obsessed because there's always something outdoors that they're thinking about doing, whether it be tomorrow, the weekend or a big event coming up. "I think the fact that it varies so much across the island as well. It's a very small island. What I post in Carlow, and it'll be blue skies and sunshine, and I get all these messages from the west of Ireland saying, 'It's not like that here'."
