Weather thread 2010

[The Klumpster]

That's from yesterday. And that's from Metcheck. Therefore I ignore it completely.

I know it's still early and it's certainly not a definite wash out, but I am so, so annoyed that it *looks* like it might be.

It's my last Glastonbury, and we've had positive forecasts for a while. For it all to turn to shit THIS F**KING CLOSE to the date itself is just so gutting. I wouldn't feel this bad if we had shit weather all the way through until the festival, so we at least knew what to expect. We've been teased and taunted. It's simply cruelty to sun lovers to do this to us. Again. I know what John McCarthy must have felt when his guards said 'we might let you go home next week' 2 years into his captivity, only to tell him 'ha! Only joking! Another 3 years I reckon....'

Only I don't have another 3 years. This is it. Last one. I won't be back for ages - years and years. I DEMANDED a dry one.

There's nothing I can do about it, but that doesn't stop me feeling quite sick of the prospect of yet another mudbath.

PLEASE change back. Just stay dry - just once.

End of rant. Must calm down. Must calm down.

UK Weather don't seem too concerned...

[crow]

I know I know - no point in worrying until Tuesday - but I STILL keep hitting the weather sites twice (or more) everyday...

BBC not hopeful: http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/somerset/hi/things_to_do/newsid_8744000/8744139.stm

Well i'd rather marinate my knob in a rusty cheese grater than go through 2007 again.

So get to f**king f**k you f**kin c**t of a f**kin low, f**k right off out of my f**kin face and my f**kin one week a year of f**kin hedonism, you miserable ruddy faced c**t of a w*nking weather system.

That's not a repeat of 2007 , That's more like 2000. Some peoples memories of Glastos past seem Either shaded behind rose tinted specs , or completey bogged up with images of muddy gloom. There is a middle ground , & it looks to that that is what we will have to be happy with

BBC :

The last few Glastonbury Festivals have seen a mixture of blazing sunshine or washed-out mayhem with heavy rain causing flooded tents and slippery mud. So what will this year be like?

BBC West weatherman Richard Angwin takes a look at the prospects for this year's Glastonbury Festival.

There is mixed news as far as the latest forecast for Glastonbury 2010 is concerned. It certainly look set to be a mainly dry picture in the run-up to the event.

A little rain is possible late this evening and overnight at Worthy Farm but this will barely dampen the ground. Thereafter it will be dry over the weekend and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday should also remain dry.

Now for the bad news. Low pressure looks set to develop to the west of the UK later on Thursday. The big question is how quickly that will translate into showers across Somerset.

Currently, it looks as though Thursday will be dry but there could be some heavy showers (and brisk winds) on Friday and Saturday before pressure recovers and, hopefully, Sunday will be mainly dry.

So the advice is the usual - be prepared. Showers in late June can often be very heavy although at this stage there is nothing to suggest the torrential showers of previous years

The way Im reading it, even in the worst places is that it will be mostly dry but with light rain showers, cant see any hint of the possibility of any puddles never mind a mud bath.

Germany have lost to Serbia

However, in the spirit of the many-changing forecasts I am ignoring this 'sign' and putting it down to the wrong type of grass on the pitch. I am going to cling to the fact that the French got well and truly beaten last night, whereas the Germany game was a much closer affair - it even had a missed penalty.

This MUST mean that France (and hence Bad Weather) is in the decline and that Germany (and hence Great weather) is in the ascendency....doesn't it??

please.....

anyone.....

[Mr Weazle]

i think because we were giving the GFS a lot of grief about how crap he is he decided to give us a massive middle finger and the rest like followed him like sheep.

Just tried that, seems the weather will be lovely after all.

[rainbow girl]

I'm thinking that the Glasto weather is linked to the footie, and we're going to have to hope like mad that England lose, in order to be guaranteed good weather!

[sprocketrocket]

I'd suggest everyone reverts to traditional folklore: stick a finger up your arse, if it comes out smelling of roses it will rain, if it smells of shit, the weather will be lovely.

[Langdale Wolf]

I've had enough of these weather forecasts (until there is a good one) and so I'd suggest everyone reverts to traditional folklore: stick a finger up your arse, if it comes out smelling of roses it will rain, if it smells of shit, the weather will be lovely.

[psychology]

DOH I just Laughed out loud at that in the middle of my office. Now everybody knows I'm not doing work. They all knew it anyway but that just confirmed it....

[rainbow girl]

I can see you're a girl, so I'll be kind.

The weather is only linked to France and Germany results. Not England. If England lose I'll personally stand over your tent with a watering can all weekend

Weather geeks: I'm looking at the ECM on Wetterzentrale, does the "ensemblemittel" chart show the average of the ensembles? If that's the case it's looking alright, the emsemblemittel charts show a much less deep low than the operational.

The UKMO charts out to Thursday don't look bad to me (can't see any further)

[clockworkpurple]

When do we get the next updates from GFúckingS, ECM and Met Office? The tension is doing my head in...

[sprocketrocket]

Can someone let me know the answer to this pls? I know the runs are at 00z, 06z, 12z and 18z, but that's not when we actually get the results is it? So when do those come through?
