Weather thread 2011

I think we can safely say we've dodged a bullet somewhat with Friday's rain.

Hopefully it'll drain through over the weekend nice and quickly and not be as extreme as Sunday, ready for Dustbowl 2011.

NFR, NFC.

Just read from page 135 to now. What a carry on! Nasty Neil and his swear fest. I just want to say if it does r**n then we know that it is due to the lack of positive thinking and pictures of germans. You cant argue with facts, it worked last year. P.S Neil, you cant call the people you serve dicks. Also i cannot believe you go to glasto with the way you look down on people.

Its lovely to see it all getting back to normal. I reckon shit weather for the weekend and then come the Wednesday we will be basking!!!

Synopsis

During Thursday, a ridge resides over central Europe and Sern Scandinavia ... while a slow moving upper and collocated surface low resides to the W of Ireland. By midday cold front clears the east coast introducing an unstable/showery returning Pm airmass from the west.

... E EIRE, E WALES, MIDLANDS, N, E + SE ENGLAND, and E SCOTLAND …

Increasingly cold air aloft following cold front clearing east coast Thurs AM will steepen lapse rates which, along with surface heating, will contribute to weak to moderate instability by the afternoon, with 200-800 j/kg CAPE suggested by GFS across central and eastern England and E Ireland/N Ireland - where greatest dew points are likely. Therefore scattered thunderstorms are likely to develop - particularly in these areas. Given rather weak vertical shear, no severe weather is anticipated. Any storms will be accompanied by hail, CG lightning, gusty winds and a small risk of localised flooding. Storms should fade after dark.

Harbinger of doom be gone, Twitter and its pesky 140 characters predicts storms, but in the East.

Nope, I've repeatedly said they have nothing to do with the weather.

so stop trying to justify them.

As for sexism, while you want to believe they're not, the posts from as number of women in this thread says they are, as well as me.

Are blokes the best at recognising their own sexism? Nope. There's some food for thought for you there.

Tsss..I have one night away from this thread and come back for my daily dose of positivity and..erm...well.

I hope the weather is nice, I don't seem to be able to find out by reading this thread as it has degenerated into page after page of argument, which just brings me down.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival
