Weather thread 2010

[Guest musiclove123]

Funnily enough I said earlier to my other half something like "I just hope we have the same weather as 2008" and she said that she remembers it raining a lot? My recollection is of it pissing down just as we went to see The Levellers, but apart from that it was hot and sunny like you say.

I'll let her know she's wrong, she always appreciates that

[MEGABOWL]

i'm having real worries about this year. this uncertainty is helping as there is nothing concrete either way.

[fdc]

The Ash won't be helping.

I mean the volcano, not the band

[TheNewUnion]

Ash + Water = Concrete (maybe?)

JACKONE's latest - a vague update with a biggie due tomorrow:

UK Outlook for Friday 18 Jun 2010 to Friday 2 Jul 2010:

The somewhat unsettled theme with sunshine and showers is likely to continue at first. However, there are indications that there may be a trend towards higher pressure giving drier, brighter and warmer conditions with some sunnier parts perhaps very warm. Southern and western parts may see more in the way of rainfall with the possibility of some thundery weather, whilst northern and eastern regions should remain drier.

This is the latest forecast from the Met Office from around the festival time. My next forecast blog will be out on Saturday, when I will looking at the new weekly summary, and the daily summaries from this week. There has been a wide variety on the summaries so far this week, so all to ply for in terms of the Glastonbury festival weather.

I've checked all my Glasto kit list, got my ticket, sifted through the clashfinder, counted out my Glasto Spendo change bucket and I'm ready to go. The only thing I now have to obsess about is the Weather and all this evasive posturing and fence sitting from every available source is starting to really piss me off! :angry:

SOMEBODY GROW SOME BALLS AND MAKE A PROPER f**kING FORECAST FOR CLIFF'S SAKE!!!!!!!! i DON'T EVEN CARE IF IT'S WRONG PLEASE JUST COMMIT TO SOMETHING ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!

Ahhhh, slight release of pressure. That's better.

I have avoided this thread so far... I am now checking in daily as I am scared all this good weather we have now will come to an end at some point, early July would be a good time for that though.

I am only packing shorts, T-shirts, factor 25 and a big cowboy hat (the last bit is not true) to prove I have full faith in the sun's ability to do the right thing.

WHOA!!!!!!!!!

Take that back RIGHT NOW!!!!! :angry: :angry:

You foolish baboon. <Slaps 4AssedMonkey round the face>

Pull yourself together man. We need you.

[Scouse Andy]

NO. Do not do this.

HOPE for the best, but be prepared and ready for the worst. Not taking wellies tempts fate.

[noodle24]

it wont rain .. well.. it might

[Langdale Wolf]

Last year I went fully prepared, and will do the same this year. Umbrealla as a parasol or refuge, pac-a-mac as either a sunbathing pillow or waterproof, 'tis a time of multifunctional accessories.

Wellies don't work for me, but my good waterproof walking boots did a great job last year, they will get a waterproofing spray before I go plus some top insoles.

Here is my weather gumpf from: /index.php?s=&showtopic=145839&view=findpost&p=3286516">http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/index.p...t&p=3286516

weather.co.uk does decent 10 day forecasts - but anything over a week is a real guess, there are just too many dependencies to say what is going to definitely happen.

Think how big the sky is, and how small glasto is, they can tell us (with some degree of honesty) what will happen in Somerset. But to get the weather right for an actual FARM is almost impossible for anything other than the next 6 to 12 hours... could have brilliant sun in Taunton and rain in glasto, or the other way around.

But still I love a good long range forecast NOTE: all links open in a new window

MetCheck current feelings(note image will update automatically daily - so keep checking back):

Or: Direct link to the above image

The metcheck and netweather are peoples personal estimations of the weather, from various long range forecasts they have access to.

16 day forecast for glasto will be here:

And rough guesses:

Guardian predicts good weather (in a very general way...)

guardian.co.uk glasto 10

The Gorge usually puts together some sort of weather guide in the weeks before the festival:

gorge.org - glasto 2010

I'll be hitting all those sites on the refresh between now and the big day!

Praying for great weather - warm days, cool nights

Cheers Mr Wolf - the pre festival weather guessing is one of the things that gets me through work each day...

Seriously cannot wait for the festival now - what ever the weather it's going to be EPIC!
