WEATHER 2009 !

[3puddings]

Damn it! I've successfully avoided weather stalking (due to not being able to abuse t'internet in new job - had to leave old one as would have missed Glasto Wednesday!!) until I saw talk of a monsoon on a Facebook status update - argh!

Now I've been haunting all my old favourite sites and am up WAY past my bedtime on a skool night to remind myself that it's still too early to have any proper weather news!

My prediction - everyone has a good feeling about this year + we had a proper cold winter + there's not been a dry Glasto since god knows when.......= Scorchio!

No Rain - No Surrender! This is the year we've all been waiting for, it shall be glorious, glorious I say!

[Mr_Grump]

There's nowt anyone can do about the weather - why don't we just accept what is thrown at us.

If it rains it rains, if it's sunny its sunny.

The only certainty is that we'll have some weather!

weather men are all full of shit! its about the only job where you just guess whats going to happen and dont get the sack if you're completely wrong...

Wrong on all accounts!

[Tenner Huey]

well possibly a slight exageration then but they still cant accurately predict the weather for such a small area more than a few days in advance and even then its not completely reliable!

2 weeks to go and the all important weather thread is on the second page - a disgrace I tell you!

Just to keep the weather speculation going.

I have always found this site very accurate for weather predictions.

"However again signs of high pressure pushing in from the Azores . . ."

This is what we need - this high is crucial for good summer weather in the SW.

Highs are always important for Glastonbury

its hard to get high pressure in a place where no one feels any

Metcheck is looking OK for the wednesday and thurday. Not brilliant, but not too bad. I'd happily take a Glastonbury with no rain myself, not too bothered about it being really hot. No rain means no mud means I can get where I want to go and sit down when I get there!

No rain is the most important thing, but i'd still like it to be warm so I can chillax all day

[remote]

I'd definitely take a dry festival. A hot one would be perfect. But dry is more important for me.

Is that from the BBC four weeker?

That was issued on Monday, and there've been quite a few alterations in prospects yesterday and today.

Please, everybody, the date at which a forecast is used is crucial .....

Frinstance, and I hate to be overly negative, the Metcheck outlook for 'Glastonbury'** is now showing quite bit of r++n in the 1 pm update today.

**(not the Fest specifically, just the general town forecast, but that covers ALL relevant days up to Fri 26th)

However, JACKONE, in his latest update, thinks the '12z' run (ie the midday runs on the GFS one of which the Metcheck projection is based) might be a cool and wet outlier, outside the trend of other runs. And GFS/Metcheck will almost certainly continue to fluctuate a lot until they reach a more reliable timeframe later next week.

The JACKONE even hopes that improved news MIGHT be possible tomorrow .....

No-one on the Netweather forums generally is at all certain today about how the rest of June is going ....

[mario man]

This weekend is critical. If its a dry IOW festival, Glasto gets rain. If its a wet IOW fest, Glasto stays dry. FACT ish

ah met check looks shiz for wed/thurs
