Weather thread 2011

[Porcelina]

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.

Here we go again, this is really tedious now. Give it a rest.

[jezzer]

good ole TWO - and the unisys charts support TWO, which is good. BUT b4 then huge amount of rain on fri and then more before tues.

so will be wet and muddy underfoot for a while next week before it all compacts and is good. fingers crossed.

[Liam13th]

What does this mean?

[Reilly1912]

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!!!

Severe weather warnings for thunderstorms on netweather twitter :-(

[TheNewUnion]

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.

[morph100]

scorchio in the west country, storm in the east would be perfect :-)

[boop2010]

Umm...

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/sw/sw_forecast_warnings.html

"Heavy rain moving east through the area with accumulations of 10-20 mm quite widely and perhaps in excess of 40 mm locally."

Granted its for tomorrow, but doesnt bode well for a mud free start...

[eFestivals]

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.

[Spindles]

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.

[eFestivals]

anyone else for warns, moderation or bans? Bring it on.

Just to be clear there will be no leeway given. If people won't be respectful to others then they'll get the same lack of respect from me. I ain't going round it again.

Jesus fella, give over.

I know we wanted Germans but there's no need to go all Hitler power crazy on us...

[rock n roll star]

Ding Ding.... Round 2

[Spliffman]

All that I require from the weather is, that it is dry on Wednesday when I pitch my tent.

Same on Monday when I de-camp. That's all.

Love n Peace ;-)>

[marketsqhero]

I would have hoped having the night to sleep on it might have chilled Mr e out a bit.

First thing he does is stir it up again...

YOU'RE IN CHARGE, yes we get it, now STFU (please).

[marketsqhero]

Am I'm the only one who didn't think 2007 was that bad?

[strudders]

Well my met office app for the next 5 days for Glastonbury just says "buy a boat"

Not the most reassuring statement..
