WEATHER 2009 !

[mouth]

i'm with you WOW, in my head if it rains all apri and the start of may then there wont be any rain left for glastonbury. also i think the should move wimbledon to the begining of june as it always rains at wimbledon so hopefully that to will get it out the way.

[Langdale Wolf]

WoW speaketh the truth.

I got married on May 5th 2007 - a beautiful sunny day, not a cloud in the sky, nice and hot etc. Perfect.

Look what happened at Glastonbury that year. The weather was SHITE.

Let this good spell we're currently having breed positive, happy, sunny vibes. Let it warm your heart with gladness.

But it does NOT mean that your Glastonbury will be as good.

HOPE for the best people, but make sure you're PREPARED for the worst. Remember the phrase - NO RAIN NO COMPROMISE.

[FrayBentos]

Good weather for Pies and Ales hopefully

Bump for a timely reminder of this thread's seniority and importance over other, inferior weather threads!

Weather turning downhill this week at last after so much prematurely nice weather recently. And that's a big relief to me. I'll gladly accept a washout Easter and other rainy, cloudy spring weeks to get it all out of the way before the summer!

June

The beginning of June looks toward a typical summer opening, very warm to locally hot across the bulk of the UK with long sunny spells and just scattered thundery showers breaking out. Will it last?

Well, perhaps at most into the beginning of the second week when the flow turns more Atlantic orientated with cloud and rain pushing through all areas, low pressure taking control, all areas becoming cooler and fresher experiencing showers or perhaps patchy rain.

Some recovery in pressure is expected through the middle of the month when it may give the impression that summer will be returning, and indeed some good spells of sunshine can be expected which will lift the temperatures once more, still the risk of patchy rain or showers for most areas, the north and northwest potentially seeing the 'worst' of the conditions.

A return to proper 'westerlies' is anticipated on this pattern through the latter stages of the month, the beginning to an abridged 'European Monsoon' perhaps but too early to tell at this stages.

If I had to stick my neck out even further then on the whole July perhaps not too bad as a summer month goes, August to close to call yet but looking a bit 'iffy' at times.

re this longterm weatheronline forecast.

There will be continued and regular alterations to this as time goes on, some of them quite dramatic changes. Of that we can be sure, it's all FAR too early to say.

Oh, well, in five years time we could be walking round the zoo

With the sun shining down in every me and you

And there’ll be love in the bodys of the elephants tool

I’ll put my hands of your eyes, but you pick throught

And there’ll be sun, sun, sun

All over our bodys.

And sun, sun, sun

I’ll die in next

There’ll be sun, sun, sun

All over our faces

And sun, sun, sun

So, what the hell

‘cause i’ll be laughing around your silly little jokes

And we’ll be laughing about how we use to smoke

All those stupid little cigarretes and drinks to put wine

‘cause it’s what we need to have good times

But it was fun, fun, fun

When we were drinking.

It was fun, fun, fun

When we were drunk

And it was fun, fun, fun

When we were laughing

It was fun, fun, fun

Oh, it was fun.

Oh, well, i look while you’re saying: “it’s the happiest that i’ve ever been”

And i’ll say: “i love to feel that i have to be james dean”

And you say: “yeah, and i feel a pretty happy too, and i’m always pretty happy when i’m just thinking about with you”

And will be love, love, love

Love throught our bodys.

Love, love, love

All throught our minds

And will be love, love, love

All over her face

And love, love, love

All over our minds.

And i’ll remember all these moments suggesting my head

I’ll be thinking about then and there’s lying in bed

And i know that you believe that might not keeping come through

But in my mind i’m having a pretty time with you

Five years time

I might not know it

Five years time

We might not speak

And five years time

We might not care about

Five years time

We might to prove it along

Oh, there’ll be love, love, love

Wherever you go

There’ll be love, love, love

lets sing this allll day everyday until June..

positive vibeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss for some sunnnnnnn baby

[emmmmma]

The metcheck forecast from last year about a week before the festival was spot on. I'm sure it is too early to tell yet, but it is fun to speculate!

[redmuz]

right, it's now the easter bank holiday and plooting it down. my weather worrying has officially begun..

anyone seen any leaves on ash or oak trees they care to report? prevalence of ladybirds? well..?! speak up!

i have an oak sapling on my fire escape which is, as yet, without leaves....ARRRGH!

[llcoolphil]

From what I can tell, the jet stream has shifted back north again - its this that has brought all the wet weather the last two summers. This should make for a more settled Azores high and a much better summer.

Pack your suncream folks, it's gonna be a scorcher

edit to add

Thugh of course you cant actually forecast specific conditions at specific times this far in advance.

[dj267]

as far as lat year's weather goes, I reckon a post of water on the Wednesday and Thursday can go down a treat, if we have to have rain. Let's this famous 'Glasto spirit' set in by the lovely, glorious Friday, and everything rolls on gloriously.

If we have to have rain, make it early on, please god. A rainy sunday would be unbearable........

Ha!!! Think this forecast is a bit pessimistic (especially the wind speed):

Hi everyone, this is the first time I have visited the weather thread this year. Last year was a real roller coaster for everyone but really made the build up even more exciting! I will be hanging on the every word of the legend that is WOW.

So how is the jet stream?
