WEATHER 2009 !

[dj267]

I, of course, have been tuning in to the South West local news with a fervour hitherto unseen in the dj267 household, as most of the weather forecasts have now turned glastonbury-specific

Friday still seemse very much to be THE CHANCE of showers; they seem to think there'll be small pockets somewhere in the area, without knowing exactly where they'll be.

As someone else said, fingers crossed we'll dodge the bullet.........

[mario man]

So after 6 months of intense weather debate we find ourselves 24 hours before the gates open.....& we're none the wiser of what's exactly going to happen Love it!

from what i rememebr there was a pretty torrentil downpour last year thursday night/fri morning and there was still grass and plenty of places to sit after

[mimis]

forcast looks good at the mo.. but then this is all a bit pointless... none of the big weather years were predicted :S

[mouth]

We were fortunate last year that is was on thursday/friday, as there were no acts on, and no 1000's of feet churning up the mud as the rain fell near the main stages. Rain on a friday night = big muddy field (and a walk to the car for a chair!)

[Foxy1984]

I know

It's been so humid in Bath I was sure it would have to rain soon..

You can see the blob of rain that's just passed over Glastonbury on this site, was very localised...

Temperatures seem to be dropping a bit as well, fairwell heatwave!

[Guest blackcockerel]

So the only thing all the forecasts could agree on - that thee wouldn't be any rain until Friday - i wrong already!

[LusciousLucy]

Again, you can't trust the BBC forecast. As I say above, if they can't get the weather correct for the current moment in time, I wouldn't place too much faith in a forecast for the end of the week.

[Cooter]

i dunno 22/23c with a feels like factor of 27/28c is hot enough for me thank you

Ah heck why not...

Metoffice 5 day for Yeovilton below

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/sw/...st_weather.html

They're putting the worst risk of showers for Thurs morning?! But apart from a risk of a light shower on sat, otherwise its sunny...

So looks like we get to play the wonderful game called Glastonbury Weather Russian Roulette... Spin the weather system and pull the trigger, do ya feel lucky punk?!

I think I need to go for a lie down in a field with a cider.... Oh hang on...!

Forecasting is all about predicting when and what, given their forecast history ( apart from Michael Fish and hurricanes!) I've got quite alot of faith in the BBC weather. They seem to have it spot on most of the time.

I work outdoors a lot and have to rely quite heavily on weather forecasts. In my experience, the BBC (online at least) is pretty unreliable. It's often internally contradictory too, quite often you will see a big sun on the overall day forecast, then go to the more detailed one which tells you that it's going to piss it down all day!
