Weather thread 2011

[Mr Ploppy]

It was lush at about 7.30 this morning in Bath and then it turned horrible. Now it's back to sunshine.

[Alcatraz]

Really? It's dry here in Leamington. 18C outside -- I have a thermometer hanging out of my window.

I'd be more than happy with this weather at Glasto.

[ukslim]

Yeah its been urine apart from Friday which was stunning.

[Alcatraz]

What are you talking about? (if we're still talking Leamington) -- it's not rained here since Bank Holiday Monday.

[ukslim]

Hah! There's now a very wet looking drizzle in Leamington.

For the record I would *not* be happy with this weather at Glastonbury.

[Douzeper]

Does anyone know what an ash looks like and when the leaves appeared?

[GuiltyAsCharged]

Oak appeared before Ash this year, well it did away up here anyhow

We honestly can't win or prepare when it comes to British weather so I'm not going to give it too much fault. I've been in rains and rays and it never impacts on the massive love I feel for this festival, they get it spot on no matter what. Although some papers do give some idiot advice for what you should pack, read all about it on my twitter @fromdesktildawn

Dodging bullets on the latest run:

Check out the lovely high over the Azores. If we could get a bit of that:

[LittlemissC]

Have faith people, I am your good luck charm - never attended on a soaked festie

[Churchills Mohican]

It's not gonna r**n! Don't doubt the glastonberry weather gods. I'll happily sacrifice a cider and possibly some mango vodka too just for a bit of sun. We'll be so happy with the weather by the end of the festival we'll flash mob Eavis' cows so they all look like this. NFR NFC.

f**k me I'm clearly missing living in the South West this year. You'd think its still March up here in Birmingham

[devonhammer]

Sun and cloud in Devon. R**n first thing, but nice and dry now. I'm willing to take solid rain for two weeks requiring sand bags, a canoe and even a helicopter rescue (although the search and rescue base is lower than me so they might have sunk) as long as the ground in Pilton doesn't get too wet and we have a dry festival.

[Aragorn]

Redditch here, we've had a bit of light dr*zzle this morning on and off, generally still in the 2008 pattern though (the occasional nice day, mostly overcast, light r**n one day a week average at most and even then just for 20-30 mins a few times through the day/night). Friday was f**king phenomenal!

Sun is out again now, time to park my arse in the garden with a coffee and a relaxant.

[Spindles]

Heh, I'm in smallwood, lodge park's the other side of b&q from here and while it has the pond it isn't a touch on scenic smallwood, the sunset is beautiful reflecting on the battery factory roof. Small world

[Aragorn]

small world indeed - think I used to fish in a small pool up in smallwood woods when I were a nipper, might of been southcrest actually

Ah, these days all you can catch there is shopping trolleys and bag-heads. I love it here personally, have lived all around the country as a younger bloke and came here for a weekend in 1990 and that weekend has yet to end.

Weather is a touch changeable here today, but in the nice way that you get 5 minutes of dr*zzle, an hour of sun, 30 mins of cloud, rinse and repeat. Redditch has it's own weather (it almost never snows here and I've seen Brum have nearly a foot and us not a flake) and locals claim this is because we are in some sort of big crater and it causes the clouds to get pushed apart as they approach. I can't say I'm an expert to agree or disagree but think it would be brilliant if it turns out that I live in z for zaccariah land and have a special suit made out of tinfoil just in case.

[bagpuss]

I am told that the North Atlantic oscillation has moved back down thus the cooler weather, so good chance it will come back up for the end of the month

Of course it moving up does not mean no rain but at least it would be warm rain LOL

[ICGenie]

I have put my washing out in the probable rain again today, I hope this apepases the weather gods further...

[devonhammer]

Weird thing happened to Google Chrome today. It started reporting the Weather Thread as one of my most viewed pages. Fair enough, but when I clicked it I was directed to the weather thread for 2010 and this post:

I'm going to a German beer festival the weekend before Glastonbury, surely that has to be enough to secure some good weather. I'll drink extra beer just to make sure
