Anyone know when metcheck turn on the glastonbury guess machine ??

sun sun sun usually around a month before the festival the weather threads get a bit chaotic

[Joshuwarr]

I'm hoping for loads of rain in early June so we can have a dry Glasto. Although last years weather would be completely acceptable. I still can't believe the mud dried up by Saturday!

[Okky]

Snow would be amazing!

[drat]

This winter we have lots of snow so by my logic this summer we will have lots of sun.

I think it could be sunny, or cloudy, or hot, or cold, or muggy, or wet, or dry, or foggy, or windy, or any combination of these.

But definitely not snowing,

I love that weather lore / year ahead page on Metcheck (here).. predicts a monsoon the week of Glasto with 77% confidence!

The third and final wave of the 'European Summer Monsoon' brings more wet and windy weather to the UK with further heavy showers.

Anyway, if anyone has any other long-distance rain forecasts for June, post 'em here! Can't wait till 5 days before to start speculation and the line-up rumour threads have gone quiet so this is a good alternative subject

[Budweiser]

i think its going to rain, there about a 90 % chance it will.

[Field Commander Jefferson]

where's Everton Fox when you need him?

A propper winter, followed by a propper summer. Hot and sunny i predict.

well i've only ever been the one time and that was in 2007 and we all know what that was like, yet i still had such an amazing time there and loved it, obviously i would prefer to be able to sit down from time to time and not have my legs ache due to all the sludging about but if that's what happens then there's nothing we can do about it.

i pay a lot off attention to the weather due to my Job and we long are due a hot summer hopefully this will be the year, not too hot and sunny though i am still a ginger and bald and burn int he blink of an eye

[Limpet]

I think theres a good chance of tornadoes on the Thursday.

[eve & nash]

But definitely not snowing,

[alframsey]

Im hoping that the barstard weather is getting it all out of its system right now!!!

[stripeass85]

Proper winter, followed by proper summer, without a doubt!!!

<Pulls up permanent seat in the weather thread>

Morning weather watchers - how are we all this fine year? Except it's NOT fine is it?

It's shite really, weather wise. Snow is crap with no redeeming features (I don't want bullshit about 'but it's pretty' etc, etc - when you've seen one lot of 'send us your pictures' on the BBC website, you've seen them all. I hate snow and reserve the right to) and it was pissing it down all night.

As some of you may or may not know, I get a little bit tetchy when it comes to the weather for Glastonbury. This year, as you're ALL aware (I may take an advert out in every major national newspaper - the Stourbridge News has already covered my plight as it was one of those weeks with very little news, no cats had been caught up trees that week) I'm NOT going to Glastonbury.

BUT, the weather thread helped me pass the time. So I'm going to continue looking and ranting at the result, especially if it's not predicting wall-to-wall sunshine (even when it's night time - I'm unreasonable) and 30 degree heat.

IF I was going, that would be the conditions I would be DEMANDING this year. I don't want any of you lucky bastards to suffer just because I'm not going. Surely the thought of a Langdale-less Glasto is punishment enough? (No sarky replied to this thanks.... )

So, rain can f**k off. Again. It's not 'fun' in the mud, it's crap. The festival is still awesome, but just less awesome than if it's nice and sunny.

I've got my fingers crossed for you.
