...quote from most reason post on the netweather model output discussion...

.."Great runs tonight, the potential for finally getting a good old stormy setup on the GFS and UKMO and the potential for a heatwave which would be nice for all the lucky Glastonbury people on the ECM, looking nice all round really, im guessing this weekend won't be as cool as forecast anyway."....

i'm going to leave it with that tonight..

I'm going with the 'D' word ...

('Dusty')?? :lol:

I have very little net access daytime, being an actuakl real employed worker for the first time in 18 months these days.

But the one link I managed to see today, no doubt already posted, that made me happiest was the MetOffice one-- ie this (for a fate tempting reminder)

UK Outlook for Monday 21 Jun 2010 to Wednesday 30 Jun 2010:

Most areas of the UK should remain largely dry throughout next week with some decent sunny periods at times. Northern and northwestern areas are likely to be cloudiest and are more likely to see occasional rain, although there will be plenty of dry and bright weather too. Although most other places will be mainly dry, isolated light showers may develop at times. Temperatures should be near normal throughout much of the period, and it should feel pleasantly warm in any prolonged periods of sunshine, but will feel cooler on the coasts. Indications are that there these mainly dry conditions will continue to the end of June, with temperatures remaining close to average for the time of year in most places.

It will be dry - I have offered one of my children as a sacrifice to the weather Gods!

The others are available if required (Oh, and the wife too!) ;)

(Not sure that the testicles that were being offered yesterday were enough on their own, so thought that I should do my bit to help the cause!)

so the 18z run is currently being updated on netweather, and i am trying to compare it to the 12z run.

bearing in mind my very limited interpretation of these charts, i can deduce the following...

on the (snail eating, baguette wielding) 12z run earlier, there was an area of low pressure which sat very close to the west of the UK, and this was what was giving us the poor weather. on the latest 18z run, this area of low pressure is much further west, and we have more high pressure over us. so im guessing, that this means a better (more german) result from the 18z.

i am not quite as good as interpreting the charts when there isnt a circle engulfing the UK, and from friday onwards, we just have lines of pressure across the south of the UK, however these lines have higher numbers than the 12z run, so i guess this is better?

so in summary, my very amateur interpretation is showing a much better wed/thurs than the earlier run predicted, and i think, a slightly better weekend aswell.

weather Pron!!! BUT BEWARE OF UPDATES on that link, the Met updates that one every day circa any time between between midday and 1:30 pm .... ULP!

Still, very few over on netweather Model Output general chat seem inclined to disagree, on the currently High Pressure dominated prospects for next week.

In fact, of anyone, it's actually JACKONE who's the most (relatively) pessimistic. And even the cautious JACKster -- praise be to him for his great work -- is moving towards actual near-optimism territory overall .... :O

So who are we to disagree?

Oldsters : another 1994? MAYBE???

(ie not as hot as 1995, but still very pleasant)???

All the Ensembles for Saturday. Not a lot of agreement. Just rember that the festival ends a week Sunday which is way beyond the reliable time-frame for any of the models.

the 0400 run on netweather now has heavy r**n on the SAT, but at least that torrential word has gone.

away from computer all day today, so no doubt i will come back and we will be 125 pages plus...we will go from baguettes to frankfurters a few times and hopefully LW and the troops will stay strong and keep those damn frogs at arms length.

if things start to look worse, i am sure we can rely on devon hammer to find us something optimistic..

WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE BEACHES.............

GFS not looking nice today from th 00z run

the UKMO however is looking ok for Wednesday with a high pressure stretched over us - the UKMO is a more reliable model than the GFS particularly this far out.

Somerset ensembles not out yet for the 00z

I'm guessing that many of the weather sites (e.g The Weather Outlook, Accuweather etc) just update based on the models described above. Hence many are showing "R" where previously they were showing fine/dry??

I'm still looking for a forecast I like, then I'll stick with that one! Onwards and upwards, The Jackone index is at 40%, the lowest for a while and that's good. I'm happy and hopeful.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
