WEATHER 2009 !

this cannot be. where is the diffinitive festy weather forecast !!!

[guyfawkes]

Does anyone know where they get their weather info? Is it going to be anymore reliable? If all they've done is look at the BBC website, I wouldn't be too worried by what they say. The Netweather people seem to be the best source and they haven't changed their tune (i.e. nice for first few days, then possibility of some showers over the weekend).

i think its pretty unanimous that the forecast is that there will be a f**kload of rain friday night

but two days ago they said today would be bone dry and there is showers

[mouth]

They all read the charts and retreated to their severe weather bunkers

[jamin12]

I predict one last final twist and we'll all be saved :-)

I honestly think Friday onwards is top far away to predict.

[steveo]

other than this potentail big down pour on friday night it doesnt look that bad does it??

thats the only really rain of any signifigance ... ive still got some optimism

Just a quick update based on the latest weather model runs (the 06hz GFS one for the weather nerds among you).... Seems that we may get something of a repeat of last year with the rainy patch this time being shifted to the Friday into Saturday. The good news though is that a) it's going to be very warm all weekend b ) it's presently forecast to clear up from Saturday mid-morning onwards. If all this IS the case then it could potentially get a bit sticky on the Friday evening and Saturday morning, but my feeling is that it will dry out even quicker than it did last year. I shall be taking sunscreen AND wellies, but you know what....

I think we're going to be mostly okay....

this was posted on anoyher forum earlier.......

This isn't meant as the weather thread...just more of a discussion of when would a weather thread would be acceptable !!!

Anyone know when metcheck turn on the glastonbury guess machine ??

[steveo]

My favourite weather man, Joe Bastardi from Accuweather, is saying there will be a few showers on Thursday & Friday, as long as it's only showers we will all be fine.

Note, he's only my favourite because of his name, not because of his reliability!

f**k f**k f**k Jesus f**kin Titty f**king Christ on a Motherf**kin Bike I can not believe after a month of positive reports i'm starring down the barrel of another c**ting Mudbath

[Guest blackcockerel]

Where do Worthy FM get their forecasts from? I don't think i can take any more ups and downs. And although some people are being accused of being pessimistic, that last bit of news sounds bad to me.

[K-Rod]

i really dont get this weather predicting lark how can one person be saying a few showers on thu/fri and others saying its gonna be thunderstorms and tipping it down

Well this is all a bit c**tish isn't it?

[evansonuk]

haha....

all will be well.

just uot of interest

do any of you experts know what 5mm of rain is actuall like?

eg...

what would you say we had last year on the thurs??

[missniki]

i'm liking accuweather's forecast the best. it gives a breakdown of how much they think it might rain and it's not that bad at all, less than last year i think:

(you need to click on 'more details' to see the amount of rain etc)

according to this there will be 16.5 hours of sun on friday!

[pie_and_a_pint]

The important thing is that although there's a bit of rain forecast, it's going to be WARM which means the rain will seem less horrible AND it'll dry up any mud much quicker.

[Buzlightyear]

It is difficult to say what will happen, and I'm disappointed with the prospect of rain, showers or whatever - they are all still wet and not welcome.

Over the years I have tracked many weather sites (we know them all) and I read this thread for insight and thoughts on what will happen. Now the feeling is low since wet stuff is on the cards, but lets no panic - this site TWO WEATHER has a more optimistic outlook, and they have been 'almost' accurate most years.

Looks like its gonna be raining for Neil Young. Nooooo!!!!!

Maybe Doves in the JP is a good idea afterall.

[ailslie]

Come on now everyone... there is enough black clouds over people's heads in this thread to rain for the whole weekend!!! Let's get back the positive attitude people because the reality is.... there are hundreds of weather forecasts about and the vast majority say there will only be a small ammount of rain, and this new one says none!! Worst case scenario it'll be like last year, which was my first Glasto and wonderful, and not too rainy!! PMA PEOPLE, PMA!!
