Apologies if this is an ignorant question, but I'm just interested... How long could it theoretically rain for consecutively here in Britain? It's been pissing down for ages here now, almost every day, surely it's got to stop soon!? But yeah, my question is, has there been any sort of record in the past for like 3 solid months of rain or whatever?

Thanks muddyslingbax and Runner

I remember watching England v Algeria in last summers World Cup which was played the Friday before the festival in a pub whilst it thrashed it down with rain outside. (Oxfordshire) - Think it was pretty w*nk weather all round that weekend. It then cleared up and we had the hottest Glastonbury for god knows how long!

Unless it completely tips it down for the next 10 days (which I'm pretty sure it won't) then we should be ok when we arrive on site. I thought the forecast was for the weather to improve next week anyway? :unsure:

Apparently...

"Kaneohe Ranch, Oahu, Hawaii reported 247 straight days with rain from August 27 1993 to April 30 1994"

I think the mayor at the time was quoted as saying: "f**k this!"

We'll be laughing, I think what we're currently experiencing is the rains death rattle before it finally f**ks off Tuesday.

And not this

Little known fact: John Sullivan, creator of Only Fools and Horses, used to be a set carpenter at the BBC and he helped construct the Singing in the Rain set before his writing talents were recognised.

    • Lovely Brexit doc on bbc2 for anyone who wants to relive those golden years.
    • I think some folks are underestimating how many millennials, now into heavier music, were genuinely also into things like techno and happy hardcore in the 90s and early 00s. Scooter may be about is commercialized as it gets when it comes to happy hardcore and techno, but for many, they won't be just a 'silly act' they will be a genuine nostalgia act. 
    • Can anyone share please as can’t access the app 
    • Someone said something along the lines of "the lows were really low but they highs were really high" and I think that sentence sums up my ps experience this year. Thursday was a downer (even though I got to see men I trust, geese, oklou and fcukers), but the weather, the missed shows and the uncertainty (those comms...) made it a bad day. Friday and Saturday on the other hand where rly good, a bunch of amazing shows each day (The Cure one was quite something), that surprise on Saturday...   Will be back next year, hope they get another impressive lineup as this year (quality and quantity wise) and that tickets and  primarily hotels don't get much more expensive.
    • Rosalia Radiohead NIN MGMT Bjork David Byrne   Also Vince Staples' new album is cool. I could see him returning.
