WEATHER 2009 !

[Haggis]

NO, horrible, heavy continuous rain = mud

just a light cooling shower = just a light cooling shower

why can't some retards just accept that some people don't like wall to wall sunshine- it can be uncomfortable and just as unpleasant as a bit of rain

some people on here are just acting like young children that can't get their own way

In this situation, one is reminded of Hudson's tirade in Aliens after the dropship crashes . . .

"Well that's just great. I mean that's just £uckin great! Now what the £uck are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty sh1t now man!"

Clearly WoW is the pillar of strength that keeps this place from collapsing into a pile of fear of anger.

It's all fallen to bits since he left.

The latest Netweather forecast is predicting more than a few showers This would be seriously unfunny

Latest update from the met office for Friday into next week:

"The south runs the risk of of some heavy showers and thunderstorms at times, especially over central and southern parts of the England"

Now, the big Q is, does central somerset fall into this potential meteorological quagmire, or is it too west [and north of the south] to be much affected?

hey, this aint too bad:

that indicates a 30% chance of rain on sat and sun, just 10% on fri. so, overall we're on the low side of anything nasty...

Bloody hell it's not looking so good now is it. I should have known better by now not to get my hopes up, yet every year they are dashed. Still as ever by now I'm almost beyond caring, come hell or high water ( ) I'll be there in 48 hours and have the greatest weekend all year.

[kohoutec]

Can I just say at this point

FOR f**kS SAKE GOD, WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO PISS YOU OFF SO MUCH?

*Shakes fist skywards*

[Splatt]

Jeezus. If that forecast comes off I'll be coming home early..

[howlin_pete]

All that rain added up is still only just a bit more than last year, plus this year it'll be far hotter so the ground could hold up. Obviously not ideal, but with those predictions come Sunday evening it shouldn;t be too bad

[Alcatraz]

But on the bright side the temps are hot

[jamin12]

me sister's best mates cousin's budgies older brothers human friend reckons it'll be a good'un this year still.

(to be fair considering all the varying guess work going on on about every website, it's probably a reliable guess.

Be happy everyone, this is england after all

[oafc0000]

Yeah, this is what I struggle with.

Temperatures of 30 degrees with rain. That's tropical!

[cavelier5]

Calm down people, all is not lost!

So far the weather bods have said there is the chance of rain at the weekend, and even if we do get a shower or two the ground will soak most of it up and the hot sun that is definitely forecast will quickly dry up any mud.

I will bet my left bollock that the weather is no where near 2005 or 2007. It won't even be like last year. Any rain that will come will fall like Evian mist, and will come as a blessed relief after the hours of unrelenting sunshine. I have forseen it.

[TokiDoki]

How many mm of rain is the wettest run?

[Pinhead]

Lol - yeah, forgot that bit.

"Why don't we build a fire. Sing a couple of songs eh? Why don't we try that?"

Or perhaps, "They mostly come at night . . . mostly."

[TokiDoki]

OK - the netweather prediction give a total of around 3.8cm of rain over the whole weekend. Just over a centimeter a day. And have you seen those temperatures? 30 degrees!!!!???

Seriously, if it's that hot a centimeters worth or rain will dry up in no time I'm sure...

And yeah, vs no rain it will suck, BUT, count your blessings peeps, if you were there like me in '97 when the relentless wind chill made it feel like about 3 degrees, multiply that by ten and you'll feel like you're in the Amazon... which is a good thing (I know because I just came back from there <smug... mwah!>)

I'd agree with the positive sentiments made by the most recent posters (far better than those negative sods from earlier ) that we're looking at an 08 rather than an 07 or 05. Who else is up for drinking up the rainfall that will fall?

[OllyB]

[Roonwilldo]

It's not actually 30C, it's 23C but it "feels like" 30.

They probably just mean it will be really humid, but not actually that hot.

Not sure where they get there prediction from, the 06z isn't quite as wet as that.

[sjhande]

Is it too late for them to build a retractable roof over the site?

[Hubz]

Anyone know how many cms of rainfall we got in 2005 and 2007?
