Weather thread 2010

[Langdale Wolf]

Please enlighten me, 'cos I quite like the storms too (at a good viewing distance of course!)

[Lucanesque]

Ah good. Two of you.

Any more takers or can I administer the 50,000 volts of direct current now?

[3puddings]

Do it now, I think we need to make an example of them, we can't have all this leniency with storms and rain, we just can't risk it!!

[Lucanesque]

Is it anything to do with lots of conducting people, nylon, and metal tent poles?

[Yokel Again]

Unless I have this wrong, my memory of the last 10 years:

2000 - Bit of rain Thursday night, sunny the rest of the festival, good conditions

2002 - sunny the whole weekend - dry and crsuty

2003 - sunny the whole weekend, bar some drizzle sunday early evening - dry and crusty

2004 - rain thursday night, friday morning, and abit during Macca (sunday night?) - wellies needed all weekend

2005 - awful awful awful thursday night, but then OK - wellies all weekend.

2007 - peed it down all weekend non stop. horrid.

2008 - my apologies, holiday in France for me <regrets>

2009 - thunder and lightning thurs, and rain late sunday - lovely the rest of the time.

2010 - ?????!!

Storms, thunder and lightning and torrential rain are great and very exciting... on the other 359 days of the year when we aren't a mass of 170,000 people on a farm hoping to enjoy the best long weekend of the year.

[Spindles]

Make every day like today and I'll be a happy bunny. Except...erm, in a field and not including slanging matches with some woman over my council tax. Yeah, that.

Scadermoush, scadermoush, can we do the fandango

[Haggis]

Can't believe I've not been in this thread yet, but I appear to be serenely confident that it will be decent this year. Is it two years of fun that have led to complacency? I don't know, but I might not even TAKE my wellies this time.*

* - yeah, right!

As this is now 44 pages long I thought I would save some searching (I get sent to page 17 if I go via the search engine) and post the great JACKONE's blog here JACKONE Netweather Glasto 2010

It looks like the good weather Dr is not prepared to make a commitment beyond a little less than 50/50 chance of rain at moment x

Personally I am still hoping it will rain a bit before glastonbury - the last time the weather was this good before the festival we had to stay in our campervan all morning playing poker and hoping none of our friends in their tents were getting zapped by the lightning show (they were marginally above the flood line in Pennards but only just)

but it will take you to his forum page for this year on netweather. I couldn't find a more recent one

Did someone mention cows?

They get a daily supply of cool drinking water and probably a cold hose-down should it get too hot. I've even seen stories of such creatures being given ice lollies during heatwaves.

And now they want rain on top of that? Greedy bovine bastards.

No rain. Not for the us. Not for the cows. Not for anyone.
