i will sacrifice my own testicles for a heat wave.

Latest GFS run is out (06z). In brief:

Wednesday: No Rain

Thursday: No Rain

Friday: No Rain

Saturday: No Rain

Sunday (early morning only so far): Light Rain

On the downside there is rain in the North of Scotland during the start of the festival and it's cats and dogs in Northern France at the end, so still dry, but still dodging bullets.

Just to reiterate, all forecasts except the Met Office are based on this data (AccuWeather, Metcheck, TheWeatherOutlook, etc etc etc) so they don't add any weight to this forecast.

Met Office forecast due in the next hour...

I'd stick with those forecasts at the moment but...............

the temps do look a bit dodge, as in a tad on the chilly side

Really? I was looking at those and thinking, any hotter than that I'd be suffering.

16 degrees, that's perfect.

[Chazeboy]

YES YES YES!

Here it is, immortalised forever:

I shall accept no further forecasts (until they add Sunday and Monday and they're just as good)

Met Office forecast is out:

UK Outlook for Wednesday 16 Jun 2010 to Friday 25 Jun 2010:

Generally dry for most parts with variable cloud and some sunny periods, although there is a low risk of some showery rain spreading into southern England at first. There is also a risk of rain affecting northern Scotland for a time. Generally settled conditions are expected to last over the weekend for many places, particularly southwestern areas. However, occasional light rain or showers may affect northern and eastern parts of the UK. Throughout the rest of the period, rain or showers may spread to more areas of the UK, although there will still be some sunshine. Mostly light winds may become stronger around exposed northern parts at times. Temperatures should be near normal, but slightly warmer in southern regions.

UK Outlook for Saturday 26 Jun 2010 to Saturday 10 Jul 2010:

The remainder of June and start of July continue the unsettled theme with rain or showers and some drier and brighter interludes. The wettest conditions are currently expected to affect mainly northern and western parts, with the best of the drier weather in southeast England. Temperatures may be above normal, with the warmest places towards the eastern side of the UK. The amount of sunshine looks to be around average for this time of the year.

Could be anything then, but based on this and GFS my money would be on similar to last year.

Right, I'm out of here until Monday. No forecasts until 6pm anyway and work/football/socialising need to be done. Monday should see some better forecasts coming into range:

ECM - this tends to be pretty good.

Norwegian Weather Service Only recently started using this, but seems pretty good.

I'll give half of one of mine, but thats it.

16 at the warmest part of the day usually means pretty cold the rest of the time.

I don't understand why they give such low temperatures in their forecasts.. they always seem to. I don't think there's any way it'll be that low if there's as much sun as they're predicting, at this time of year

[ukslim]

Could it be the temperature taking into account the wind chill etc? i.e. what it feels like?

11 is ridiculous for mid-day but possible i suppose.

[Nixy]

People, please. Are you really going to start pulling the expected temperatures apart when but 2 pages back you were all woeing and moaning about the potential of rain? Remember, the weather gods are still watching you - keep pledging those knackers boys, it's still early days.

And as my mam would say - no you can not have the gas fire on, put a ruddy jumper on if you're cold
