Weather thread 2010

85-95% chance of a dry first 3 days of the festival .... according to Jackone

That's 100% dry in my money.

[Cooter]

With its 40th anniversary, my new flipflops, England winning and near perfect weather could Michael actually be correct next Monday by no doubt stating yet again "it was the best ever"!!!

[dharry]

JACKONE has done most of his forecast. Good news, basically sunshine and some cloud (Wed eve into Thursday) but pretty much no rain until Saturday and Sunday when thundery showers might make an appearance.

I'm cautious because the swamp of 2005 happened on a forecast of thundery showers, but that was Friday morning rather than Saturday afternoon or Sunday. If worse comes to worse I can cope with a bit of m** late in the weekend.

The ensembles seem to be essentially dry all the way through with only a little wetness on Sunday. Out of the years i've been watching the models etc (05, 07, 09) this is by far the best forecast of the bunch.

I've decided we're going to have the weather from this site:

7 Day Forecast for the Festival Carpark

Better this week than next =]

[clockworkpurple]

Fallen down to page 2...have we become so blasé?!

[fdc]

Bit concerned that this has dropped over to the second page, i don't think we can afford any complacency at this stage.

We need to close this thing out. I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon, but until then I suggest as many of us as possible continue to obsess over the remaining - barely understood - weather reports between now and kick off.

EDIT: I'm posting pictures of Germans and I genuinely don't even know why. Where did this come from?

Just a quick reminder that I am watching you lot and will not allow anything stupid being said!

We will not be making any compromises where the weathers concerned. Even Sunday showers are not welcome. Typical British attitude to start handing over our well earned sunshine and dryness cause we think were lucky to have no r*** for 4 days.

Stay positive, stay strong. Do not surrender!

Looks like a cracking start. i'm heading off at lucnh tommorrow so will have one more check then and thats me done for this thread this year. feel slightly sad.

Latest model output (GFS) has about 6mm of rain falling on Saturday 12pm-9pm due to showers.

Apart from that, dry.

[TokiDoki]

For comparison, I believe the friday morning storm in 2005 dumped about 50mm of rain in a few hours.

EDIT: Another site mentions 100-150mm for the storm.

Don't get the rain gods angry by forgetting your wellies and waterproofs

In the time honoured tradition of Mr Eavis I would like to declare this the best weather thread ever. Well done everyone but special credit must go to Mr Wolf for his popularising of the NRNC party. If there must be bloody flags I hope to see as many as possible with that on them.

I have made my sacrifice to the weather gods by finally giving up on finding my trustee Karimoor and going out on Sunday - a hot sunny day - and spending a stupid amount on a North Face Gortex jacket. Our group have consulted this evening and decided that if this is not sufficient we are happy to sacrifice one of our friend's children.

Stay strong people, we're not there yet but it ain't half looking good. And no I don't mean the Bavarian ladies.

[Jodie001]

damn, I may need to go out a but a new jacket too :-S guess I'd better ahy, one in 4 years ain't bad I guess.
