WEATHER 2009 !

[Glastonbury_2011]

I have finally come to the conclusion that nobody really knows what the f**k is going on. This shall be my last post on the forum until I come back from Glastonbury. Have a hot one guys.

Well just watched the man on the beeb news24 - looking great for wednesday and thursday with loads of sunny warm weather (and warm nights!) but increasing humidity and temps into friday will increase the risk of thundery downpours as we go into the weekend, but staying very warm.

So a cracking start to the fest assured and an uncertain weekend (except for warm temperatures) and the risk of some of natures thundery spectaculars - I can't wait

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 ??

[Dominic1983]

I love the fact that no-one's certain of the weather, here's hoping all the rain occurs outside of the site and just misses us!

[Langdale Wolf]

bloody midday weather forecaster on the beeb just said there's a chance of heavy thunderstorms 'and if you're going to glastonbury... good luck!'

Dare I say it. The ever revolving roulette wheel of the metcheck forecast (for Shepton Mallet) is looking quite nice. No significant rainfall, bar a few inconsequential spits and spots on Saturday. So just rejoice at that news...

On the down side it is metcheck and another forecast will be along shortly.

you kidding? then there'd be no weather thread

[mulderman]

never beleive the bbc weather. In the past ive watched them say theres rain in liverpool and looked out the window and it was cracking the flags!

Exactly.

Long Drops under a roof? Think about it. Wouldn't be pleasant.

No roof. I'd rather it rained.

[Langdale Wolf]

I disagree!

There were covered long drops by the Shangri-La last year, and they were a godsend on Thursday night..

[remote]

Bet they weren't by Monday.

[Storm_NL]

Exactly.

It'd have been like an oven...

[scorp]

I reckon there's an emerging consensus around this kind of forecast.

Wouldn't be the end of the world I don't think. The showers won't be anything like 2005, that was a freak event.

[Langdale Wolf]

Actually, they were still quite pleasant.

They were mounted a few feet above the top of the structure, and you've still got the wind whistling about all over the place.

It was nice.

But don't take my word for it... Go in yourself this year and have a sniff..

[windy_miller]

Long Drops v2.0 were pretty good last year. I once took a dump in the rain in a roof-less long drop and it wasn't pleasant.

[Langdale Wolf]

now go and touch some wood

the meteorological set up looks remarkably similar to 05.

but...we may miss the storms, or they may be less severe, or whatevs.

[mattyV]

Solution: don't camp at the bottom of Pennards.

2005 weather > 2007 weather.

You're going to have at least 2 days of perfect weather. Better than nothing.
