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 agree the prices are tough for locals. You can see if Porto timetable is the type that works for you and it's a terrific city. Also cheaper. https://www.primaverasound.com/es/porto/lineup-porto
    • thanks XXialac! i guess for us the most important aspect will be a festival that starts very late in the day, specially in these southern countries were it can be really hot! The combination of visiting a new city, having good lunches and enjoying a festival is a absolute must for us. Also, we like headliners but the undercard is just as important; truly enjoyed Men I trust, NewDad, Big Thief this year so from that angle it is not really a big thing if a festival is somewhat smaller.    Apparently my bad, i had 5 in my system but 0.5 (10%) increase is still huge. I am not sure how teenagers can afford these prices............
    • That second part was how I felt about Rock IM Park this year trying first. I found that when it gets to like the 3rd act on the main stage down, you've gotta make a choice to miss anything leading up might not enjoy and it's sometimes while closer for not a great view as everyone in turn has to make the call too. Being short doesn't help as I'd just be able be further bacm but still see.
    • I wasn’t slagging Scooter off, they are undeniably silly. As I said, they are the definition of a meme booking for Download. People requested them for years because it was silly.
