Weather status & forecast updates
2013/05/15: Weather is all lined up and GO for Rocket Fest 2013! Given the status has remained so highly positive for so many weeks up until now - only days before the event - it's quite safe to declare we are GO for this launch weekend weather-wise.
2013/05/13: According to the latest data, weather for Rocket Fest 2013 has taken a huge positive turn! The only downside is we can't garantee the absence of rain - but should there be rain it will only manifest itself in a sprinkle or two and the volume will likely not be significant at all.
We'll all have to dress a little warmer than the previous years as temperatures are definitely staying under 25C and will likely hang slightly lower than the 20C mark. In addition, we expect cloud coverage on either of the two days. Prediction models unanimously call for a day with overcast, but they don't agree on which of the two days.
If you plan on camping bring the warm gear and clothing: we expect temperatures to possibly drop below 10C.
The winds seem to be right in our prefered range for the weekend hanging between 0 and 15km/h without gusts and without weather events (ex.: storm) that could degrade the conditions.
The weather status therefore remains POSITIVE for Rocket Fest 2013. A final announce will be sent out Thursday at the latest. If the weather forecast doesn't change considerably, you can already expect good news to arrive then!

The first step is to reach autoroute 20 on the south shore of Montreal. For local residents, this is pretty easy. If you don't know how, just check a Quebec map!
Take autoroute 20 East towards Drummonville. Take Exit 175 and take the 143 north.
On the 143 (north), go through the village of St-Bonaventure (there are two consecutive right angle turns in the village itself).
- Turn right on the "2e Rang"
- Roll on the "2e Rang" for 0.8km
- Turn Left on the "10e Rang"
- Roll 4.4km on the "10e Rang"
The launch site is on your left (western side of the road - a dirt road to be exact). Look for a sign that shows "TRIPOLI-QUEBEC FUSEES" including orange cones and follow the instructions on the placcard.
If you see an airplane hangar, you're too far. Turn back and roll for about 200 meters.
