WEATHER 2009 !

[just-spence]

I haven't read so much rubbish in my life, The weather on the TV can only predict weather 2/3 days in advance... All your doing is reading information off sources... the information you give to people is unrealible and there is no facts with weather forcasting, the winds could change direction almost instantly.

However, if you can give factual weather forcasts months before an event, i suggest you give the BBC a phonecall.

Has this man got a track record on other threads then?

He's on-topic William. This is the weather thread.

I partly agree with the Radiohead guy, rain while you're in your tent is great. Very therapeutic and makes things all cosy.

But the moment I step outside my tent I want wall-to-fecking-wall sunshine and not even a speck of mud for the entire weekend. The early and late evenings in particular are so beautiful at Glasto when its sunny and warm.

A question for the weather geeks on here - if it gets proper warm in a week, say over 25C, which some forecasters seem to be suggesting could happen, is there not a higher chance of there being a biblical rain storm a la 2005? We don't want it too hot then do we?

Probably just hoping it will be dark all weekend and they can sit in silence on their own and cry.

ive changed my mind about this jamie guy

Hmmm, i find radiohead extremely uplifting actually, i suggest you listen to their music. I'm still a bit confused with the whole band/weather situation.. rain is what keeps us alive! helps forest fires, it helps us save on watering our plants and trees, helps wash our cars, cools certain areas down temp wise. gives water to wild life.

DON'T DISS RAIN, IT ROCKS!

When I am king, you will be first against the wall with your opinion which is of no consequence at all ...

Straight off page one of the Troll Manual, this style. Take note, Peevis and everyone! The above is not a 'difference of opinion', it's a deliberately inflammatory shitstir attempt. Note I said attempt.

Note

A. The subtle, only partial distortion of some of what I've said

B. The deliberate ignoral of my frequent urgings for caution and of my frequent reminders that conditions can change, even late on

C. Deliberate albeit slight exaggeration of the always contentious 'forecasts are bollox' notion.

D. Accusation that I'm distorting

E. Dismisal of my reading of sources, even the health-warning laden readings I've been doing since May -- health warnings ignored of course.

We've got a live one here folks.

This one is fair comment as it goes. Some people (weirdly!) prefer rain and mud. Even they are having to agree that rainlovers may and probably will have to take a dry sunny one for the team** this year.

**the overwhelming majority too!

There's a fair bit of a line line between

A. just expressing a rain preference or rain indifference,

and

B. claiming that someone (me) posting links to forecasts is being misleading though.

i have decided im not looking at any forecasdts til the 22nd at the earliest as its gonna change between now and then anyway and i dont wanna get my hopes up (or start worrying about it) and just enjoy my pre festival glow in ignorance

[howlin_pete]

I was waiting for your comments to blow up! You can act innocent all you want but you finally got a bite after over a week of trying, I thought you were about to give up

[.jay.]

i need to keep an eye the weather situation for work and from my experience it's not even worth looking past 48 hour forcasts.

Nothing wrong with liking the rain and wishing it to rain. I just hope, on this occasion, that you're Let Down. (See what I did there?!)

[JameSemajj]

i also like rain :-)

glasto 1997 was a defining moment. after a grand total of 45 mins sleep with the wind ripping a hole in the tent at The Oaks campsite near glasto on the wednesday night, and while trudging through miles of deep mud and flood over that weekend, i thought, hah, thees eeez the life :-) Tiz true!
