I've done Glasto in sunshine and in heavy rain and the current forecast is ^_^^_^;);):)

I'll take a dry one any year

So the summary of the weather predictions is...

Long range forecast: terrible

Mid range forecast: fantastic

Short range forecast: fairly good

Reality....?! ^_^

I'd say we're at the right end of the spectrum. When sites like Metcheck predict less than 1mm of rain it means no rain at all.

It's all good peeps ^_^

again the 06z is a good run and pretty much keeps the entire festival dry with temps around 23-26 degrees. There are some v.light showers showing saturday but nothing to concerning. There is a low close though in france and there is no certainly that it will stay there

I am hoping the ensembles will show agreement for this run

Haha I've been off work for a week and a half already and tbh I tend to completely block out anything work related the moment I'm away from the place :D I'll be giving one or two of the forecasters a shout in the next day or two though to get the latest.

been watching this thread obsessively over the past week, feeling everyone's highs and lows (no pun intended...)

just for people's interest, there's a week ahead to friday forecast on the country tracks programme here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00k4l44 (skip ahead to about 50 minutes in)

ominous low sweeping in on thursday but narrowly avoids somerset, then that lovely high comes in from friday! we'll know more later... :)

UK Outlook for Friday 26 Jun 2009 to Sunday 5 Jul 2009:

Through to the middle of next week the weather is expected to be largely fine and warm. Though there is the increasing threat of some heavy showers and thunderstorms. Especially over central and southern parts of the UK away from the East coast where there will be an onshore wind. The afternoon temperatures away from these eastern coastal areas are expected to be either warm or very warm, but perhaps even hot in places. Then as we move towards the middle of the second week the current indications are that the weather will turn more unsettled and less warm. Cloudier conditions with either showers or more prolonged rain are expected to spread to many areas at times. However, there are also likely to be some brighter periods mixed in.

Metcheck is looking extraordinary at the moment!

EDIT: If you do the single day forecasts that is. I think this uses the 7 day model instead. Which I actually think is the more reliable one, not just because it is predicting wall to wall scorchio!

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
