Monthly outlook from positive weather solutions.....

June starts with some reasonably fine and dry weather around, and with a number of days worth of pleasant sunshine in a row, it will feel warm to very warm at times. Showers are likely to be in evidence though at times, chiefly to the north. The relatively settled pattern continues into the second week, so again, expect the lion's share of the better weather, with some dry and sunny conditions, and warm temperatures to match. After mid-month, temperatures may cool off somewhat, and there is increasing dischord in the weather, which means showers and more likely, and indeed, the odd deluge or two cannot be ruled out. These showers will try to forge together to damage June further, but a repair will take place late on in the month, and we can expect drier and warmer weather to prevail, which will take us into July.

Temperatures for the month will reflect average values.

Ok so June 19th - everyone up for a little rain dance? Langdale's Dad's birthday, Remote's mum's BBQ, & my wedding - all to be a complete washout in exchange for a sunny Glastonbury?

Can anyone throw in any more sacrifices for June 19th to appease the rain god's? It looks like the day for it!

Just trawled back through some old posts to see if I could find what I offered sacrifice in order to get good weather in 2008. We did it too :D

I lived in Manchester for 6 years, I still can't work out if I was brave or stupid, but I can concur, the weather did seem to be more inclement than other places.

    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
