On the 10-day forecast it has changed from rain to sun on the Thursday since lunchtime! Tomorrow it will probably change back to rain again. I don't think we should bother taking it too seriously until at least Saturday. The BBC forecast always seems to be the most accurate anyway but it is only a 5-day one so may need to wait until nearer the time. Whatever, I'm going prepared for all eventualities!

None of the various models are matching up at that point which means only one thing. They have no idea due to the uncertainty in the short term over the weekend. I think they should all settle down by Thursday though, so it's getting tense.

I'm sticking with my mainly dry, bit chilly at night with the odd light shower forecast. In short, jumpers but no wellies.

JACKONE has started an update - clicky

Still in progress.

Further offerings to the weather Gods. Tonight I have spent a good hour cleaning and re-proofing my hiking boots, gaiters and poncho so if it does rain then I'll be ready. (Of course we all know it won't and that I'm just paying respect to Thor and his other mates).

Seriously geeky fans of synoptics and detailed techhnical weather stuff should, while over on netweather, also visit (as observers!) the general Model Output Discussion thread on the same forum as JACKONE's thread. I've had a post deleted there today as a half justified slap on the wrist for going off topic.

Various chat today on that thread is, shall we say, highly 'inconclusive' ... some posters favour a 'High' scenario (or more High influenced one anyway) for the South and West into later next week, others, equally persuasively, argue that the UK overall will be all more 'Low' or maybe more Northerly/North Easterly, which latter would be chilly, but not especially wet .... it's all about which model output you think is most likely.

The various outputs seem to be switching all over the place at the moment ...

Who knows?

Where's Steve Murr to add his say when you most need him?

    • First time for me, really enjoyed it. Nice venue, nice weather, good vibes, etc.   Notes on performances: CMAT's a great performer - seen her live twice now.  GANS are my favourite new act since Big Special, and live they're fantastic. Fellow Brummies too, so I'm all about that. The album's a bit disappointing though. Primal Scream were great, although I felt the crowd seemed a bit muted. The Libertines sounded knackered. Not sure they're suited to a festival. First time seeing The Royston Club, thought they were very good - the tent seemed to be full of kids on each others shoulders singing along. I'm all about that. First time seeing the K's, a bit disappointed. Didn't like his voice, and I felt like every song sounded the same as the last one. Sarajevo is a good tune, though. It still sounds like all the others, just a bit better.  The Maccabees and Two Door Cinema club were a but underwhelming, but Pelican by the Maccabees is a banger. It all sounded a bit Travis/Early Coldplay to me though. The Wombats took me by surprise - I expected 1 1/2 hours of 'Let's Dance to Joy Division' style indie-landfill, so I was surprised to hear that some of the rest of their stuff had dynamics and range. I still don't think they're any good, but I can't say they didn't surprise me either. Just not my thing.   Surprise of the weekend for me was Rizzle Kicks. Never listened to them before, but they got me out of my tent and into the arena as I was trying to nurse a hangover and I thought it was a blast.    Will probably go next year too.  
    • Not really anything to say other than the fact I'm down at Opeth and this has been a cracking summer by and large here. Few duds, plenty of sellouts, strong weather, and the craft beer is cheaper than the regular bar. Winner winner, chicken dinner! 
    • Pink Floyd night on sky arts time for me  to wallow in nostalgia and remember some incredible gigs
