Weather thread 2011

[BlackHole2006]

If the weather is like this then I'm gonna go up to Michael Eavis and give him a big hug.

[Scouse Andy]

I have relented, and finally posted my first entry on this forum in prep for 2011 Glasto...

Who needs to worry about the weather, it is going to be great, another awesome tan for work the next week, no voice but lots of stories to tell

** Makes sure waterproofs and umbrella are handy to satisfy the weather gods! **

I know I may sound whingey but last year I was a prisoner to the sun - a little cooler please and very dry but early to mid 20 degrees would be perfect. I found it really hard to get around and sustain being in the sun and ended up drinking more water than cider, never good

Thats good, was worried there! There is still hope indeed, the weather people are always wrong lol

[Scouse Andy]

That's the same prediction we got last year around this time and the year before that so don't fret. Last year was a scorcher and the year before that was almost a scorcher but fabbed out on the Thursday with that tremendous thunderstorm and the torrential downpour that night (Ruined my sleep aswell- thanks for that weather gods).

There is still hope.

[BlackHole2006]

BH, Don't diss the weather gods, they are ultimately our friends, one night of proper rain, and a drizzle on monday morning in 2009 is a tiny tiny price to pay for the rest of that weekend and last year.

And sleeping isn't for festivals anyway!

It could be argued it was too hot this year but it's better than it being torrential rain and freezing.

Great moment during Seasick Steve (I think?) when a solitary cloud briefly drifted in front of the sun. You could hear the sighs of relief all round.

Altogether now... oooohhhhhhhhhh

[The Nal]

Saying that though, I would rather heavy rain on the Sunday night than heavy rain on any of the other nights!

Well you're going to get it on all nights this year so don't worry!

[LondonTom]

I've found a solution for all us sun haters, it only cost £310,00, your own personal artificial cloud well not personal...but I am sure they could shrink it, the tech is there

[simes]

Big ups to all the optimists in Worcester, who were clad in shorts today. Look what happens when we get two nice days back to back.

[Scouse Andy]

I saw a quality saaarf laaaandaaan chav on the platform this morning, sknny cut of jeans, no socks and skinny polo shirt, he was massively regretting the decision as he was shivering like it was arctic. 2 days of sun and the world is full of suckers.

Girls in The City on the other hand , hmmmm

[amfy]

This week's weather would be pretty ideal thanks. maybe a few degrees warmer - but just lovely wandering about weather!

[4AssedMonkey]

This week's weather would be pretty ideal thanks but double the temperature - but just lovely wandering about weather!

[Scouse Andy]

Corrected for you.

Don't mention it.

I'm a very hot person. By which, I don't just mean my rugged good looks (ahem), I mean that I'm the sort of person to walk around in a t-shirt in the middle of winter. I found last year's festival pretty comfortable, at least compared the humid hell of 2007. The discomfort of 2007 was magnified by the need to fight through the mud all the time and it didn't even f__king cool down at night.

I read an article a few months ago that said that men were efficient sweaters -- if it's hot and dry we get a bit of a sweat on, the sweat dries and we cool down. If it's warm and humid we're boned.

With that in mind, I propose that any blokes coming in here asking for slightly cooler, cloudy (i.e. more humid) weather get derided and called girls' names.

That includes you, Wendy.
