WEATHER 2009 !

[Alcatraz]

Right, here's the plan. Everyone forget to take shorts, hats and suncream. You always forget what you need the most!

Purge this thread and it's negativity.

There will be no rain. There will be no rain. There will be no rain. *repeats to himself as he rocks backwards and forwards in his chair*

I am really looking forward to next week when we can start getting proper predictions! I imagine the relatively correct predictions don't come out till around the Friday before.

Did anyone else actually soil themself in their tent during the thunderstorm in 2005?

I honestly just lay there and could not believe the sound that was coming from the sky.

The lightening lit up everything and was incredbile.

That was all before a stream started to flow through my tent of course and everything got soaked.

Happy days!

my positive outlook for this evening...

whatever happens, its still summer. temps will still be high, and weather will most likely be generally summery. This means any rain will come in showers, and be broken up by glorious sunshine, which will dry the ground out in the unlikely event it even gets saturated.

bottom line: sun will dominate, even if it does rain a little (which it wont )

Looks like JACKONE is either late or having a day off so I've done some research myself.

A warm French finger (of warmth) is going to touch us on the Thursday. Check it out:

Seriously, the weather looks really bad up till the start of Glasto and then it starts to get better. The chart above is as far out as the forecasts go so the next few days we'll start to see if it's just a brief warm French fingering we're getting or something altogether more substantial.

[Messy]

Anyone else have no idea what they're supposed to be looking at?

[Dav0s]

weather charts 101

red = hot

blue = not

higher numbers = better

[dirk4danger]

Where it says 24 means 24c, which is adequately hot. I've not posted the rain chart but there is no rain either. 24c and no rain = SCORCHIO!

[Rachie]

im gonne propper pay attention in a weeks time.

but genrally i feeling meh with the weather.

dont care what anyone says...i NEED to sit down on grass at a fest.

[Cooter]

Red is good, green is baddish am I right? And theres plenty of red on that pic even if most of it is over France there is indeed a fingering or even a thumb of red over South UK. Thats good with me, I'll sleep well tonight!

[sunnyshoes]

I've been pretty much convinced it's going to be a good weather Gbury up until the last few days where I had a bit of a doubting moment but since this afternoon ive been convinced that it's going to be a good one again. The BBC monthly forecast is the one that Im sticking with - the one where it says it was going to cool down after being hot (it has done) but will perk up towards the end of the month - its logical to me - hot, colder, hot again - makes perfect sense!!

Richard Angwin (BBC West Weatherman) dismissed the idea of a monsoon on the evening news this evening. He did however qualify this with "that's the way it's looking at the moment" and "nice weather for the start of the Glastonbury Festival"; so still going with the long-range stuff and not sticking his neck out too far!

Not great but not a disaster either.

“Warming up.”

High pressure stays with us for most of this period and should extend its influence across much of the UK resulting in mostly dry and often very sunny conditions.

Temperatures should recover from mid to late June onwards so it will feel more like summer again with some very warm days likely, particularly in the south.

Rainfall amounts could be very scanty in many areas although there is always the potential for some thundery outbreaks towards the south-east giving localised downpours.

weather men are all full of shit! its about the only job where you just guess whats going to happen and dont get the sack if you're completely wrong... its going to be the same as last year, trust me im not a weather man
