weather

[geofelgie]

Well I've got my ticket so I have to find something else to worry about!

Normally I never worry about the weather but......

63 million millimetres is quite a lot of rain, over 39 miles in fact, have we pee'd god off again?

oh and 1,100 degrees centigrade is a might bit toasty too!

You probably won't feel that temperature too much with the wind chill. And putting up tents might be tough too.

Hehe! Someone's going to get the sack for that cock-up!

The 14 day forecast looks OK though. At least we'll be putting our tents up in dry weather if that Friday forecast is accurate. Fingers crossed, eh?

[Elfy]

Heehee, excellent

I think whoever did that should be promoted, not sacked

[Andrew_iow]

Cant see the rain being much of an issue it will evaporate before getting near the ground!!! lol

[almal]

is dorset actually on mercury?

is that why it takes so long to get there?

[Fat_Buddha]

It's looking good!

GREAT - a Weather post!

Someone posts a link to a good forecast - someone else posts a link to an iffy one - yaaaawwwwnn

It's September ffs - and even if it was in the middle of an Indian Summer, anyone who goes to a music festival without the gear (wellies AND sunhat) for all eventuallities is simply NUTTTZZZ!

ssshhh...

Don't want to be a weathermonger BUT, it's raining at the mo on the Isle of Wight - so Bestival sure to be another mudfest - and the clouds are heading up to the Dorset/Wiltshire border......don't panic!

You have to have a pointless weather thread, it's compulsory.

Just like you have to have several threads all asking similar questions that could all have been answered by reading the information section of the website.

Just be thankful this isn't V or Reading so we are spared all the "This band that I'm not going to see anyway is really rubbish" threads

Very good...there are no rubbish bands at EOTR!! Its raining here again... surely we are gonna have lots of sunshine next week? If I pack lots of waterproofs wellies and hot choc you can guarantee sunshine

As someone who owns literally no waterproof clothes, I am paying very close attention to the weather forecast. Don't think a downpour will make or break my weekend, but being dry adds to the enjoyment. Fo'sho!

Why would someone read a post titled weather, just so they could complain about it? Some people just spend all day walking around looking for something to be offended by.

[marooned]

The Weathermonger returns - as someone who was at the 'proper' Larmer Tree Festival months ago, I can exclusively reveal that, even though it was in the middle of the Summer, IT PISSED DOWN.

AND, the grass turned to mud, then dried out somewhat - then back to mud again!!! CALAMITY.

Thank heavens me and the wife (as seasoned Festivalers - not your junior joggers) had the foresight to pack 2 pairs of Wellies with the Jesus Boots, Rainwear with the Rab C Vests!

...and some people should take more Irony Tablets and not just complain about others complaining - that too, was in jest...............

Hmmm. Take clothing for all eventualities. Good idea. Splendid advice. Thank the Lord for wise people.

It rained so much on the Friday that when I went to the loo, I couldn't tell where the rain pouring off my head stop and my piss started.

Sorry, too much information....

[relhq]

We were trying to dismantle & pack new tents at Green Man in the pouring rain but it still didn't matter. With this line up and the lovely people attending, it'll be bloody ace anyway! Here's to wellies, macs and (optimistically) factor 50. Just dry would be good though...

[sadwitch]

I will probably cry if it's muddy.
