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 B)

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!

    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)

    • I found the vibe a little different to recent editions.. definitely an older crowd, less queer, less Spanish.. certainly has something to do with the lack of Glastonbury this year. And I felt Saturday was a little overcrowded. I‘ve never seen Mordor as full as last night for the xx and Gorillaz. Did not enjoy that too much.
    • Not my favourite year either, despite liking the lineup more than previous years. Not sure what it was, I guess Thursday really put the brakes on things. But yeah I'll be back next year hopefully. And maybe Massive Attack will return... 
    • E-mail summarizing Saturday - Primavera Sound 2026 Journal Day 3. As in previous days, it's going to be on the website soon, I think.
