AFL grand final weather forecast is for storms. Could the Gabba decider be postponed?
The early weather forecast is in ahead of the AFL grand final in Brisbane and, to the surprise of nobody who’s lived in Brisbane as spring slowly turns into summer, there’s a chance of a storm.
“Partly cloudy. Medium (40 per cent) chance of showers. The chance of a thunderstorm,” said the Bureau of Meteorology on Tuesday.
So what does that mean? What happens if there is a massive storm at the AFL grand final, with thunder, lightning and apocalyptic rain?
Will the game be delayed? Will it be cancelled? Will the grand final be moved to Adelaide? (The answer to this is no, by the way.)
