Weather thread 2010

Not wanting to piss on anyone's seaweed, but the forecasts still aren't looking great :angry:

Monday 7 June 2010 to Sunday 13 June 2010

Warmth gives way to more warmth

High pressure will hang on just long enough to bring a hot and sunny period. But change is Most definatley not on the way.

At least the farmers and gardeners will be pleased, because as low pressure edges in from the west, the Extra sunshine will gather from the west.

The breakdown to just as good, equally nice conditions looks like being constant, but eventually we will all have seen some more sunshine. Temperatures stay somewhere near the norm for this time of year. Good warmweather...

Monday 14 June 2010 to Sunday 27 June 2010

high summer

The sun is now at its strongest, heating things up quickly given half a chance. But low pressure, taking up residence miles away from our shores, will help keep the warm air up and no downpours.

This combination of heat and more heat causes the atmosphere to become increasingly highly charged with heat; and thunder and lightning Will be nowhere near. Expect a beutiful Glastonbury!

oh the weather outside is weather...

[nellyt66]

True, but the weeks before have been nicer than they have for the last few years. So the build up hasn't been same old same old. That could have an effect.

[Langdale Wolf]

Twas very hot in the build up to 2005, and that continued right up to Friday morning when the mother of all storms seemed to be centered on my very tent.

[scorp]

Yes, but that was a complete freak event. Even if we did have similar weather in the week before that, the chances of a storm like that happening are as good as Kasabian growing an ounce of talent - VERY unlikely.

[glasto'newbie']

You're right.

Joey Chestnut, world eating champion, would not enter a tournament finale on an empty stomach. He swears by a small piece of cake and some milk in the afternoon prior to the bout. I feel this is a similar theory

[guypjfreak]

[rhysieg]

my tickets are here and based on that evidence it is going to be SUNNY!!!

you heard it here not necessarily first

[brixesmith]

not exactly freak. 1997 and '98 were very bad. overall, the conditions were a bit worse than the 05 flash flood event.

[Midnight Man]

If there's a storm, I'm just gonna sit on the monorail until it has passed.

[Nixy]

Apologies if anyone has posted this (this thread is huge and I am sure someone has) - regardless of what anyone else predicts this is the one I am believing

Weather

June

Temperature: Slightly above average

Precipitation: Slightly below average

A spell of rather warm and dry weather is expected to develop early on as high pressure builds across the country. This is likely to break with showers or longer spells of rain returning during the second week of the month. As well as turning less settled temperatures will also fall. Towards the middle of the month drier and warmer conditions may well begin to return.

The second half of the month is expected to bring a lot of fine and settled weather to southern parts in particular, although the north should also have fine weather at times. The settled conditions may well last for much of the second half of the month, possibly becoming very warm at times in the south. Overall temperatures should be above average during the entire period.

I think 2005 is the only nasty one which has arrived in the middle of a summer that had looked OK.

97, 98, & 2007 were all generally horrible summers - in that sense 2005 was a freak event.

I have to say that this year is looking very much like the last two so far. I think we'll get some rain - but not enough to kill it.

OH! The Thursday of 2005!!

What a gorgeous day!!

The last 2 years were ok, and I'd take those over any extreme conditions but can't we have it a few degrees warmer?

Not that any rain is acceptable you understand!!

[Guest musiclove123]

I find the storms quite exciting- if they are overnight that is and you don't get caught in it! Lots of thunder and lightning

This weeks weather starting from Tuesday would be perfect-not too hot but just right with chance of light rain on the Sunday
