How did you go so far ahead in the forecast. I could only go to the thursday before the weekend.

[Skizz]

On the left hand side, there's an option to search for "Any Date".

[beltin]

metcheck seems to be pants for forecasting. we need the guys from the Glasto weather thread to help us out.....

[philius1975]

From a chelmsford perspective, there's no way we're going to be as lucky as last year,

the positive way to look at it is, a little bit of rain keeps the beers cooler!

[Skizz]

Last year it was spot on a month in advance. Light shower on Friday and hot all weekend.

[MOLLYJESS]

Yep, if we have weather anywhere near as good as last year I for one will be a very happy bunny - don't even mind a little rain to cool us down during the day, just a little shower though!!!!

[Ross78]

I should imagine the weather will be grey, with sunny spells and possible showers......or Summer as we know it......

[craig-g]

Please god anything but heavy rain.

[Angelis]

hail storms with occasional blizzardy showers, with the possibility off snow drifts

[Conor18]

I've studied weather for years and im quite hopefully for this year's weather again, we've had really poor weather recently and will continue to do so for a while yet but the indications are that high pressure from the Azores will move in next weekend to bring some warmth then the week after will see the high flattened and pushed south for a while with some rain especially at Weston but by the time V Festival weekend has arrived the high will of got pushed eastwards, it will bring a fair amount of cloud especially to Weston being south westerly winds off the atlantic but with high pressure expect high humidity, warm days and some sunny spells with temperatures around 22-25c by day and around 14-16c at night, thats as detailed as can get at this range but all in all not looking to bad just extremely humid possibily so a lot of sweating.

[Conor18]

Will do just gotta hope that the high pressure hits at the right time as it could end up coming a few days before yet meaning it would of gone into Europe by the time V arrives but shall keep hoping for the best.

[Conor18]

If you've studied weather for years you should know you can't predict weather patterns after a week. The best way to know what the weather is going to do is usually 4 days in advance, and even then weather is unpredictable.

[murph_ne]

The minor details are impossible to forecast this far out yes, im just going on the basis that almost every summer we get the Azores high influence for at least a few days and its been out west in the Atlantic for about a month now unable to move east so with the jetstream powering up soon the hope is that it will move east over us at somepoint soon, of course it may end up to far south yet meaning the weather is similar to how it is now but heres hoping we get two good years in a row!

[Big Vern]

[Conor18]
