They're predicting -7 degrees and 333mph winds for Sunday, so we should get an idea of their accuracy by then. They got it right last year though didn't they? Everyone else was predicting sun, but they had rain, so I stayed at home and laughed at all you fools who went.

They didn't predict rain last year. Checked Metcheck each morni8ng at the fest, and they got everything spot on for each day.

Mind you, there wasn't much in the way of weather to predict last year. A better judge is wet years, where each day they get the rain spot on, including the amount and the times of it - which they've done.

As I keep saying, their predictions for the day on that day are more accurate than other weather services I've checked.

3) I am very interested in taking you up on your bet. Do really have that much faith in Metcheck? I wouldn't trust them to predict yesterday's weather. How's about a nice hot cinamon cider as a wager?

yep, bet on.

I'll make sure I grab a copy each day of the festival for that day, and you need to find another weather service which gives a more accurate prediction for that day's weather.

ECMRWF chart for week Friday. This is the model with the best track record for predicting at this sort of range, it's what is was specifically designed to do.

Looking good

I like what they've done with the sound desk platform

On the 6z run there's a high pushing up from the Azores, but it's too far West. Doesn't look good, but I'd still say it's all to play for.

[t0paz]

Ok, the 06Z run isn't great either. Wet throughout, apart from a bit of clear sky Saturday and Sunday early morning. Looking like the wettest stuff will be for Sunday night and packing up tents Monday morning :angry:

Still plenty of time for it to change though!
