New sunnies purchased today.

You know, it's all good fun and all. But wearing your lucky pants on match day has no effect on how your team does, and saying it might rain, or how you'd feel if it does, has no effect on what the weather is on the day (*).

I think most of us are joking when we say things like "don't jinx things by saying the r*** word, but sometimes I'm not sure.

Anyhow, it'll take a *lot* of rain to dampen my spirit. Having said that, I've been to at least three Glastos that had a *lot* of rain. Statistically, the chances of this being another are low.

(* alright, the Butterfly Effect, I know. No *predictable* or *significant* effect.)

so old sons, let me get this right....NO R***, just lots of sun n sunshine.

wet glastos are less fun and means drinking and walking/dancing much harder,

sunshine all the way.

Wales is a make it r**n bomb already. That's like science and that.

To anyone who thinks that wanting nothing but pure, glorious sunshine is because we are wimps, who can't stand a bit of moisture, it has nothing to do with that, it has everything to do with how your legs and back feel at midnight when you haven't been able to park your arse since breakfast.

To illustrate this point here is a picture of a squirrel on a teapot:

The only thing that makes me happy is people saying "it is a long way off 2007"

that is most definitely a german statement

[zero000]

It will be sunny! Caribou are there, it has to be!

[Party-'Scatter'!]

Sunshine only please NFR NFC

I have only ever seen squirrels when the weather is good. I suspect that when it is bad they stay in and watch telly. Technically German squirrels must be the ones to watch for.

Latest run just out. Not bad at all:

The weakening Greenland high is allowing lows to be shunted Northwards by the mid-Atlantic high:

[muddyslingbax]

i honestly dont think your username and avatar pic are helping the weather situation!

[Mr Weazle]

do you think it is actually weakening? one run says yes next says no. This is doing my nut in.

[THEBOILERMAN]

IT WILL NOT RAIN, IT WILL BE DRY, IT WILL BE SUNNY,

IT WILL BE F**KING HOT.

now repeat out loud every hour

I've joined this thread late and after pages and pages of bavarians, Bruno, old sons and now squirrels, I'm still none the wiser. Is this pic a forecast of Glastonbury weather?

We need the latest run (06z) to be the start of a trend of similar runs, if this does not happen then the 06z was the outlier. This time last year and indeed closer to the festival these runs switched between good and washout and only at the last minute did it go fantastic, so still time but we would like to see more runs like the last one very soon.
