[smudger]

why on earth did i bother to look at this thread.....ruined my day.

The BBC monthly outlook is LATE. C**ts. :angry:

That's a minimal - yet obviously unacceptable - amount.

She got off lightly. I'd have divorced her, personally.

[Langdale Wolf]

She changed her mind when we watched the film last night during the section of clips of some of the muddy years.

[HastingsBoy]

Well that's ruined my day - which is my birthday too!

Was gonna go out and pick up some stuff for the festival today but don't know if I can be arsed.

RUBBISH!

[Steve P]

WHat's with all the negativity? No used getting depressed at this early stage. SOmething to cheer you up.

[Mas]

My wife said to me the other day (it's her first time there) that in a funny way she hoped it did rain a bit so she could experience Glastonbury properly. I gave her the most evil, cold stare you can imagine.

[amfy]

One of my mates first glastonbury was 2008 when it rained all day every day solidly (except for a bit of dry on the saturday night) and she loved every single second. Thats a one off though and I think she's a bit freaky

[t0paz]

I'd rather have 2005 again than 2007. 2007 was relentless crap, whereas 2005 was heavy but by Monday morning you could sit on the grass again.

But lets be very clear, I want no rain at all!

And why are the BBC late with the monthly update? :angry:

I'm not listening to anything until 2 weeks before the festival (so tomorrow night for me then!!)

177% rainfall? That's absolutely ridiculous! I'm not having that, no way!

I'll spend the 19th (sacrifice day) in the park in my pants on my own looking mental for a sunny Glasto.

Happy birthday Hastingsboy!!

That's getting better - average r***fall is better than 177% but still not acceptable!

Hopefully the forecasts will still keep getting better then. TWIST.

By the way, we were predicted clear skies and sun for Saturday (very cloudy and muggy in the end) and rain and thundery showers yesterday (scorchio with sunburn to prove it)

I DON'T KNOW WHO TO TRUST ANYMORE!!!

Monday 21 June 2010 to Sunday 4 July 2010

What can we expect for Wimbledon?

The arrival of the longest day and the start of Wimbledon suggest that we should be reaching the height of summer.

Indications show a mixture of drier and brighter interludes but still with a signal of more unsettled weather at times. Rainfall and sunshine amounts are therefore expected to be around average throughout the period.

Temperatures should be near or slightly below normal, but perhaps slightly above in parts of southern and eastern England. So not exactly a heatwave, but hopefully some good tennis weather.

In regards to the BBC update..

Not great but not a disaster at this point either.

The BBC thing is better than that charlaton Jackone's forecast.... But we can still do better than this. On the 19th of June I promise to do some washing and hang it outside for the rain gods.

[Tugger2k]

About average overall then, but we might get lucky. That could be a lot, lot worse. Still all to play for, fellow sun-lovers.

Now for a rant. Wimbledon. Mentioned on the outlook above. I love tennis - GREAT game, and I'd love to go to Wimbledon one day (my mate said he was really looking forward to seeing the men's semis last year, and that really made me laugh, though my urge to go isn't just because of the easy nob gags I could tell).

But - CENTRE COURT HAS A F**KING ROOF THESE DAYS!!!! They have NOTHING to get anxious about. They don't have to LIVE in the unsheltered countryside for nigh on a week.

So I say that all Wimbledon rain haters don't know they're f**king born, and should try a real test of endurance, not one that means they get a bit miffed with diluted strawberries and a saggy straw hat.

[Haggis]

I agree - if we could just emit the storm of 2005, we'd have the perfect weather. 2007 was very hard work by the end.

That's one court out of 19 that are used in the tournament. Rain can certainly still screw up the early stages of the competition.

[t0paz]

If there is any prospect of a repeat of that Sunday in 2007,

[ukslim]

good

[Tugger2k]

Leaving on the Monday, with it still raining, was possibly my most depressing Glastonbury moment. I really don't want that again.
