how long will it be

[Helsbels]

IIRC. 2007 was pretty warm weather on the first two days?

[matt_berr]

looks good

LW is now a proud father and is holed up in blighty for the foreseeable future tending to his kin. We may not see him in this neck of the woods again.

Nope, 2005 was gorgeous til 6am Friday morning. 2007 got the tent up Wednesday afternoon then it persisted it down til we left on the Monday.

don't go to millets - go to the eFestivals camping store instead.

[grumpyhack]

Don't panic - I confidently predict we will have some weather this year.

Off to dubbin my boots but that's no hint as I wear them come rain or shine.

2007 was awful! It was cold, it didn't stop raining for the whole 5 days, it was grey, it was a nghtmare.

This was also pre super duper drainage, there will never be another Glastonbury like that.

This year will be lovely. Fact!

[Aragorn]

those of a nervous disposition do NOT look at the models this morning

I am waiting for the ensembles for some hope that it was an outlandish run

[godders1966]

It's looking good here, so far. Forecast goes to the Friday

weather channel

[Aragorn]

that could well be based on yesretdays GFS run

the latest models are showing fairly heavy rain thursday and sunday and showers pretty much everyday

[stampy]

Ok, additional sacrifices to the weather gods. Will buy some new wellies today, and I'm also prepared to accept bad weather on a trip to Amsterdam this weekend.

Every little helps.

I have to say that I am taking no notice of these weather forecasts until Countryfile on Sunday. It seems that every day, every hour the forecasts change. I have now bought clothes for every eventuality, but still holding out hope for good weather.

Don't you dare go bringing your crappy weather over here!!!!

[Aragorn]

the operational run on the GFS has overdone the wetness - most other runs for the 00z have gone for less rain, the mean for the ensembles pressure wise though is not overly brilliant.

To be honest this pattern has been locked in for 4 weeks now and there is still no relenting of the heights to our north. The jet is progged to stay as it is for the foreseeable meaning the atlantic low conveyor belt is set to continue.

Best I think we can hope for next week is that after the next low goes through Friday which will be a significant amount of rain for some in the south west by the looks of it that we manage to catch a gap between the next low to come across the country which it is progged to sometime next week. Or that it stalls in the atlantic. Either way - wellies will be required next week I reckon

Shocking British June weather as is so often the case these days.

I'd easily take the TWO forecast at the moment based upon the other ones: -

Bit breezy then.

[rabid]

Yeah but surely that will be better than a load of rain?

[clockworkpurple]

Right, that's it. I've had enough of these shitty all-over-the-place weather forecasts. I'm going to Go Outdoors tonight to buy a set of waterproofs so the forecast had better buck its ideas up pronto.

NFR,NFC!

Not when you're trying to skin up!
