...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.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
