WEATHER 2009 !

Good god, when did the NME just... give up?

Yesterday on Netweather at least one regular poster, an experienced forecaster, was predicting no more than a 10% chance of showers late next week, that Met Office update looks like an upgrade to that unfortunately.

You know what? One year, just one year, I'd like a CERTAIN warm sunny scorcher confidently and unchangingly and reliably predicted for the entire of Glastonbury week.

I know the forecast remains pretty damned good in general, especially for the start, so I shouldn't moan because we're certainly not in for a 2007. But we're OWED a unbrokenly dry sunny and good one throughout, and I'm fearful of the risk of further downgrades in later updates ...

06z might be an outlier (still looks quite like one for now) but on the other hand it might be picking up on a new trend

I have one more day, tomorrow morning (Friday) to gather updates. We're off to Glastonbury town on Saturday and onsite from Monday as early-arrival Info Crew (our tickets arrived this morning ).

After Saturday, I'm reliant on paolo999's gadgetsery for updates ...

dunno whats going on with the models, the 12z is a run that looks rather different compared with the previous runs and saturday night into sunday morning looks like a heavy belt of rain

its got to be an outlier of sorts it looks weird....euro models are out soon though, lets hope for better

I've no idea what the majority of these posts, I just scan though them for the things I understand. I tend to look for words like "rain", "sun", "good-signs" etc.

I've never met the man although I rely on his posts every year, but I've always imagined him to look like Michael Fish

Think Barry Manilow but with longer hair

LOL! I think he looks like a hippy version of Gene Wilder in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"

y'know what - you're right!

Accuweather now seems to support the rainy Saturday night theory. It's approaching JACKONE O'clock, I'm going for a cautious 6.5-7

[Cooter]

Anyone else concerned that it maybe all downhill from here, sweet lord after all this hype I hope not

[staggerlee]

I would deal on a rainy saturday for a good, wednesday, thursday and friday

2006 would have been a dry one. A load of us had a BBQ get together the weekend Glasto would have been on and I remember thinking it was typical that it was dry the year they have a break!

It rained while Travis were playing Why Does It Always Rain On Me on The Other Stage. I'm not even making that up.

That's a bit pessimistic of you. I assumed you'd be gunning for a 10/10 ?

[gibbo13]
