The long term forecast for end of July is not great from Met Office at the moment.....

"How will July finish up?

A more zonal flow is expected though the period with a NW / SE split. The NW looks likely to see rain moving through which will mean more in the way of cloud. Southeastern areas look more likely to see drier and brighter conditions. Despite the brighter conditions in the southeast most of the UK is expected to average out as having below average temperatures for the time of year. Rainfall is expected to be above average in the west and below in the north while many parts are expected to see average or below average sunshine."

Remember that Penrith is in the North so according to this part of the forecast, below average rain (to me, the West is Wales/Liverpool)

I confess to being a total wimp last year and having a whole afternoons sleep one day (it was the day Showhawk Duo were on as I missed them then realised afterwards), disgraceful behaviour but that rain was relentless!

 

I would say keep dry rather than try to dry out afterwards (not alcohol related), I will be taking some of those plastic ponchos this year as even my waterproof didn't do the job..........plenty of layers and take your wellies along with plenty of socks    

 

I sound like my mother!

Not posted for ages and ages! Sadly missing KC again this year but not for Latitude but as I've been in Australia for 10 months.

 

Hope everyone has a great festival and the weather gods shine on you.

 

Just for reference, I broke my curse of bad festival weather with superb weather at Latitude last year.

That be the Festival Gods telling you that Gazeboes are NOT allowed at Lowther Calling...
