The flag is Yellow.

Boating is restricted to University crews, first VIIIs and tub pairs. During Lent Term, any VIIIs in the first or second division of the Lent Bumps may boat. During Easter Term, any VIIIs in the first or second division of the May Bumps may boat. Members of crews permitted to boat under a Yellow Flag may do so in fours or small boats (i.e. single and double sculls and pairs) with the express permission of the Club Captain and/or Boatman.

Outlook: Large gusts in the mid 30s (mph) expected to continue throughout the day. Flag may be reviewed in the afternoon but the wind is forecast to drop off only after sunset

Outlook: The forecast for tomorrow morning is pretty grim with strong gusts and rain. Crews that can boat in a yellow flag should make sure they have appropriate kit for the weather and assess whether they are comfortable boating in challenging conditions.

Flag will be re-assessed in the morning.

Outlook: Strong winds with gusts. Crews that can boat should assess if they're safe to do so. Flag will be reassessed at lunch time. Crews should take into account wind-chill and dress for the weather.
