So you'll be the man walking around with a raging hard-on when it's a scorcher?!

[gooner1990]

No. I'll have had too much ale and cider to keep it up.

[Langdale Wolf]

Brewers droop!

[deschwah]

metcheck have managed to show some rain for the thursday

[ukslim]

A paddling pool is an excellent idea although there could well be a hosepipe ban.

Glasto Weather

[gooner1990]

The scary aspect of a paddling pool is that it has potential to be used a mudsliding vehicle. I think I've seen people hurtling down a muddy pyramid field one one in the past.

Ban these r**n magnets!

So will we find out tonight if Jackones high pressure 1032 thingy is still hanging around?

[devonhammer]

I need help.

I'm sat in my office, and it's been a really dreary, grey, wet day outside. Then, a glorious shard of pure sunlight shone through the window and I became aroused.

We've still got around 2 weeks of this. I'll be a wreck.

You can see the pressure charts now. Click here. Select Sea level pressure for the Chart Type and click on 336 through to 384. It's not looking as good as it was, but it's not looking bad. This is basically the normal situation with a high over the Azores. What we want is for the high to move North East or (and there will be inevitable jokes if this happens) for a "finger" to push up from the Azores (see 336). If you click on precipitation, you'll see that there's none over SW England

If you select Height 500hpa + SLP and North Atlantic temperatures from the available dropdowns in http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=nwdc;sess=

you can get a better idea of warmer air and the appearnce of High and Low pressures, North Atlantic Precipitaion is also pretty important of course

[3puddings]

Oh YEAH! I distinctly remember us all talking about getting a lovely warm fingering from the Azores on a past thread......you've gotta love a nice warm fingering let's face it!!

[jezzer]

I can only get that for 24 hrs

Still, as long as pressure and precipitation look good, I'm happy

I don't even care about the sun. I went in the mid-1990s and it was too hot, so a dry festival with light cloud does me fine.

Think I know why, the latest GFS run, the 12Z, is just coming out so it will take a while til the whole timeframe is revealed, if you keep checking you'll notice it gradually exending the forecast

[jezzer]

Yes, ignore me, I'm now watching the 12Z as it slowly makes its way out to festival time .

Looks like the rain god has claimed Download festival for his own, apparently its monsooning it down there at the moment.

FEED RAIN GOD FEED SLAKE YOU HUNGER AND SPARE GLASTONBURY!!

[sdaveak47]

You my dear friends will have your 5 days in the sun

[Darth Duffman]

I was teasing my mate about the biblical down pour at download but i told him its all for a greater cause

[Chocscoffer]

Having just caught up with the pages since I last posted I can honestly say I'm nothing short of disgusted at the abuse and name calling. If I or anybody else wants to come onto the weather thread and hope for anything but a hot festival then it's our right to do so without being called names.

So, I will come on this thread and post what the f**k i want, whether the majority of you like it or not. As for me being referred to as selfish, I think that goes for the people on here who have clearly stated they don't give a shit whether the sun makes somebody ill, they want scorching hot weather.

So to hell with the f**king lot of you and I hope to god we gets shit loads of cloud cover.

[guyfawkes]

Do you take everything you read/hear literal?

[Chocscoffer]

No I don't actually but it seems that anybody who has come on here wantaing anything but a heatwave has been shot down in flames. The people that have met me on here can vouch for the fact that I'm always up for banter and having a laugh.

People should be able to post what they wish without worrying they are going to be given grief over it.

[Conrax]

Everyone keeps saying the weather is wet and cold, but down here in the southwest it very hummid and not really r**ning at all. There were some heavy downpour's yesterday and a few showers today but dry's up so quick

All i want at Glasto is SUN and nothing more, there aint much better than being at Glasto with the sun and a cold beer/cider.
