RAIN

[j-j-j-j-joe!]

Rain for thursday.

Drizzle thursday night.

Light rain friday.

Dry every other day.

According to the met office website.

[j-j-j-j-joe!]

Ah, no! It's changed already!

Looks like they have no idea what the weather will be like!

It's going to rain at Reading and Leeds at some point over the weekend. It'll also be quite sunny. Pack your shorts and your wellies and you should be fine.

The Met Office (www.metoffice.gov.uk) don't do specific forecasts more than 5 days in advance.

That's currently saying sunny Wednesday daytime, but then heavy rain Wednesday night and Thursday day, but easing off going in to Thursday night.

Their long range forecast says:

It is likely to be an unsettled and windy start to the Bank Holiday weekend with heavy showers and coastal gales affecting much of the United Kingdom during Friday. Some mixed weather is likely over the rest of the weekend with further showers, but also sunny spells. Southern England may become humid for a time with risk of heavy rain or showers, but with many northern and western areas staying cooler.

I don't want rain tbh...

Metcheck's looking pretty good for Leeds. Still a bit too far out to be accurate.

For Reading -

Wednesday looks fine for the early entry peeps

Thursday looks very unsettled with some heavy showers

Friday & Saturday both look to be dry and sunny

Sunday 60% chance of rain

Also saw the countryfile weather this evening & what I just mentioned above upto Friday was in agreement with the bbc weather guy altho he did say that the end of week was hard to predict

[Ryan1984]

Country File were spot on with their Glasto weather forecast if that puts anyone at ease.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

To be fair there isn't a lot wellies and a poncho can't sort out

I've never experienced a sunny fest! And this is my 4th 'major'

Why was this thread even remotely necessary?

well at the moment the Polar front (aka the jet stream) is over us. there fore were subject to mid atlatic depressions. the weather will go from a bit wet and overcast to hot to crap. depeding on when the depression hits us and how big it is. so hopefully will get the hot bit over the weekend, but ir econ we might have to pack our shit up in the rain.

or if were really lucky the polar front will move north and will be under the influence of hot mediteranian air, like we were for glastonbury.

Lol, it's absolutely lashing it down in Reading tonight.

[Electricityscape]

Britain. Unpredictable.

[samc86]

If it only really lashes it down thursday, then I'm cool with that!

[Keva]

I'd rather not have to slip on my arse in the mud or put away a soaking wet tent on Monday.

2008 weather again please!

[rexclark]

Well it looks like Thursday is gonna pish down at Reading and Leeds. I'm arriving in the Wednesdat so I'll already be set up.

[j-j-j-j-joe!]

Actually i meant Ukweather, not the met office. They do ten day forecasts instead of five.

[Fred the plank]

I would happily take that weather.

[nat81]

I'm not bothering to look at the weather reports again, i checked teletext yesterday and again today and it was a completely different forecast....

My advice is to pack a complete set of waterproofs (wellies, jacket and trousers) cos every time i've gone prepared it's always been nice weather and i've not had to use them hardly at all!

Latest on Metcheck is a biblical downpour on Weds but hardly any rain after that.

Anyone know if there's any flloding after last night's huge downpour?
