Weather thread 2010

[rexclark]

f**ked if I care, I'll be prepared for extreme sun or monsoons!

Back on efests glasto chat for the first time since September (I think), so which long dormant thread do I choose to bump?

Weather is important and speculation for Glasto weather 2010 is pointless but important fun. Fact ...

[William of Walworth]

There's a serious deluge here in South Wales at the moment, two days of heavy rain being forecast, gales too.

Getting the bad stuff out of the way??

hehehe, just like a consumerist christmas, these threads seem to start earlir and earlier every year

Great to see you back on here WoW, you're my Glastonbury equivalent of the first cuckoo of spring.

[sprocketrocket]

Thats funny I was going to revive this thread the other day but then I couldn't remember why....

[NeilVJ]

I'd take the same weather as this year if you offered me it

Buying some nice expensive comfy wellies this year so wanna get to use them

I get the feeling that next year will either be the long-awaited proper scorcher OR torrential downpour.

I suspect the humm harr weather of recent times will pass in favour of something altogether more decisive. Gloves off.

[Langdale Wolf]

Is it just me who - when the weather is as disgustingly c**tish as last night - thinks about Glastonbury?

Even last year, when I wasn't going, whenever it pissed it down, I just thought 'hmm, wouldn't fancy being by the Cider Bus in this'.

What's wrong with me? What's the scientific term for being a weather-obsessive?

My iPhone weather application is set to Glastonbury weather.

It says it's currently 11C and raining.

[mouth]

as always with the weather thread i will look for the positive and ignore the negative. I will cling to any hope that a good forecast brings and turn a blind eye to the storm predictions that will inevitably turn up. So after careful thought, I reckon its gonna be a scorcher

Early reports on Met Check say it might rain, but it might be sunny, with a chance of some clouds and perhaps it'll be cold at night.

Anyone else hear anything different?

I have came to a gentlemens agreement with zeus that the weather will not be anywhere as bad as the flood year. The rest is in the lap of the gods.

You trust Zeus?

This is the god that would disguise himself as a bull and try to seduce your girlfriend.

[FunkyDenz]

Indeed. It's Apollo we need to be appeasing. F**k Zeus, he's nowt but a slutty deity not fit to wipe the arse of Cerberus.

The UK's weather service projects that, unless there is an exceptionally cold spell before the end of the year, temperatures will be up on last year.

Climate sceptics had pointed out that the temperature rise appeared to have stalled in the last decade or so.

That was caused in part by the Pacific La Nina current, which cools the Earth.

But the influence of La Nina declined in the spring and the Met Office project that, barring a very cold December, this year will be the fifth warmest on record.

Other sources say it could even be the third warmest.

The last ten years have been in the top 15 warmest on record. And this summer the UK enjoyed temperatures higher than the long-term average.

Although the Met Office was pilloried after forecasting a "barbecue summer", it was their rainfall forecast, not the projected temperatures, that was wrong.

Next year we will see the influence of the warming El Nino current, and the Met Office says there is a 50% chance that global temperatures will hit an all-time high.

From the BBC.

Just depends on when the warm weater come next year

Has anyone started the: tickets, email confirmation, weather 2011 threads yet?

I might get in first.......

[Guest musiclove123]

There is no way the weather people can predict this far in advance but lets hope of a repeat of 2008's weather

[glastofreak]

no way there was rain in 2008

[jeffie]

I would go for this or last years repeated......

Bit of rain, but I got a great tan.....

Bumping for no particular reason, other than

This thread was last posted on at the end of November!

At 3 pages, this thread is the longest of the 'Weather 2010' threads (I did a thread title search on Glasto Chat) and we might as make this one the long term official weather thread (and thus kill off duplicate ones, so keep this one bumped folks! And make sure you actually murder anyone who starts another!! )

I have no news on the actual weather this early

I'm a forecast checker not a fortune teller -- all the good geeky people over on the netweather.tv forums are still drivelling on about winter, for the time being.

Fer now then, my hopecast says, as it does every year this early on :

We haven't had a completely dry and entirely shower/rain free festival since 1995 , so we're well overdue one as 100% hot and 100% dry and (almost) 100% sunny as it was way back then.

Bring it on folks.
