Weather thread 2011

[devonhammer]

I can't tell you how many times the forecast changed last year in the three weeks leading up to Glastonbury. It was a nightmare reading through the thread as it changed from sun to showers to torrential rain within a page or two. We all know how it turned out in the end.....

Moral of the story - don't panic and buy sun lotion

High pressure not going anywhere

The middle of June will bring more good news for the sun-seekers amongst you as high pressure remains in charge. That means just about everyone has dry, warm and sunny weather in store with that much-needed rain nowhere in sight.

Fingers crossed we'll all be coming home with an increased chance of skin cancer. I'm willing to take the risk.

WeatherOnlinefrom yesterday:

24/06 - 01/07

This period looks as if it'll perhaps be the 'peak' of the summer weather available during this forecast? High pressure will be in control through the period, although they'll obviously subtle alterations as the period progresses and after an initially warm to very warm few days an eventual cooling off as the flow swings around to the north or northeast, however the mainly fine weather should continue beneath a ridge of high pressure extending from the southwest. The rather warm to very warm weather looks set to continue, some thundery showers are likely to be set off although these are likely to be scattered in nature. Through the middle and latter stages of the period, there will be an overall decline to cooler conditions across the whole of the UK, although the emphasis should remain on dry weather. As high pressure slowly declines, pulling back into mid-Atlantic, a cooler and fresher regime looks set to be filtering in from the north or northeast on a freshening breeze, so becoming cloudier with some scattered showers drifting into central Britain.

Really expecting this thread to gather pace with two weeks till the festival. Will not be happy if it slips onto the second page anytime soon!

[Aragorn]

it will do now because the GFS models are now in range for glasto and lasts nights run was not a nice one - however it is still what is known in the weather trade as FI (fantasy island) lol

next run coming out now - it updates every 6 hours or so, Jackone on netweather has said h will start the daily analysis from the gfs now.

From BBC just now:

Continuation of the northwest/southeast split

There are indications that the northwest/southeast split will continue into the early part of July.Sunniest and driest spells of weather wil again dominate in southern and eastern England whilst Scotland and Northern Ireland will be both cooler and wetter. Is it any comfort in these areas that rainfall should only be 'average'?

[Liam13th]

Arggggg. Checking these weather threads is just making me nervous now

Went to town this lunchtime and brought my suncream supplies.

Proper JACKONE daily forecasts start this evening.....Hold on to your seats..

JACKONE: Tomorrow sees GFS come into range, so there will be daily forecasts issued covering at least 2 of the GFS forecasts each day, these will be issues in their own individual thread.

[elfimaju]

I'm pretty sure it said exactly this last year too and we ended up the 'right' side of the divide. Somebody with more technical skills/time than me can probably check!

[spikytom]

I spent £15 on a pimpin' tent fan yesterday, because I can't be doing with the tent oven situation again. That's my contribution to the definite scorcher that we're all in for.

NFRNFC and all that

[Aragorn]

be nice if that high comes a little further east and north
