Weather thread 2010

[strudders]

Ok......

First off its not going to be as bad as 07 or 05 even if it does rain...

All the high pressure around will weaken significantly any Atlantic lows to just rain showers, not torrential downpours.

Second. The ground is bone dry. It will suck up moisture like a newly born kitten feeding on it mothers tit

Third. I just dont believe it will be bad, a shower yes, and bit of rain might be, but not biblical rain to drown anybody's experience.

Fourth. Some are being to negative and will give yourself an illness if you dont calm down and have the attitude, "Its going to be fine, but if it rains, well I have the wellies and I was wrong, pass me the decanted-into-a-plastic-bottle JD please..."

Fifth . Its Glastonbury, its expected. Find some odd covered stage and perhaps not do what you were originally going to do and surprise yourself.

Sixth and most importantly. I am taking a wheelchair and god bloody well owes me this year and the last thing I need when stuck in the mud is a bunch of mopy despondent miserable gits moaning about the weather when there is pushing duties to be done, I am not small and it will be a hard job so get your backs into it....

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)

It is my first glastonbury and great weather follows me around so all is good. I will bring the sun over from Ireland

The worst thing about the weather changing so quickly and so dramatically is we now have to put up with people joining the thread and posting reports that are 24 hours out of date like they're new information.

Jesus, you couldn't make this up, could you?

[android-app-developer]

OK, I'm a grown man and believe I'm about to cry .

Just looked at the 'reliable' EMC Data and it is saying the same as GFS. It changed so much from yesterday, please let it change back on Monday. I've been going on and off for the last 25 years (I know, I should act my age - or so my wife keeps telling me) but I fear another 2007 would be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Argggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

That's better

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pissed off with the latest developments, but come on people, this isn't over yet. As I keep saying, look how good last year turned out when all the models turned to shit in less than a week to go!

ITS GOING TO DRY ALL WEEK. My lovely spotlight weather girls said so and they would not lie

Today should be renamed the 'Black Friday' of 2010 for the Glasto Weather thread.

But Monday will be 'Magic Monday'....it better be!

[clockworkpurple]

I'm just looking at the latest GFS.....people of a nervous disposition may want to look away.

Is the 12z supposedly the most pessimistic one as a rule? Whatever, it's fecking rubbish anyway. I give up.

[fred quimby]

Well it's all finely blanced with a very intriguing plot with a very internationaly flavour

The twist and turns I'm really not sure what will happen but I reckon we are still in for another couple of plot changes before this story is told.

I really am hoping for a hollywood style happy ending.

In Bristol at present and it is peeing it down

[Philw]

This thread is such an emotional rollercoaster, it's either a dampener on spirits, or meteorological foreplay!

Things will pick up though

Right, I'm off for the weekend, i expect better weather when i return on Monday....

(Who am I kidding, i'll be checking all weekend...)

[elbongo]

With the apparent lack of confidence in this years anti-rain pact. A rouge weather thread as been assembled to take power should the current alliance crumble. It would seem the people have lost faith in the leadership of this years interim coalition. As last year proved, when they actually predicted similar if not worse condition closer to the event then today.

In a war of this importance we will have to dodge bullets(rain in the area) and come out with battle scars (slightly damp from forgetting ponchos) but victorious my comrades!

I will not relinquish my faith! Not now, not ever...
