Just for Jacko - The long awaited weather thread

[ramragon]

As Jacko seems to be as upbeat as ever about the festival weather this morning its probably time to start a thread to calm his shattered nerves !

With no talk of last years field covering superstructure gazebo he's obviously more confident than at this point last year.

Early long range forecasts for the end of July are not to grim at this point, admittedly as a rule they struggle to get it right for 2 days time so not sure how valid the long ranger will be.

Be confident...... no rain

I live half hr from the site and to say this weekend was mixed is a massive understatement. Friday I got sunburnt, saturday was bouncing rain and yesterday it was blowing a gale, so just typical cumbrian weather really!

Be confident...... no rain

Looks like that for me this week Steve!!

[ramragon]

I'll refrain from cursing you on here, you may however recieve an abusive text In the coming days.

I'm bitter !

[Jacko450]

Ramragon you git! A whole thread dedicated to mocking me

I am upbeat this year but I can guarantee with two weeks to go I will be very worried.

[ramragon]

Mud at Glastonbury jacko, is that an omen ?

[Jacko450]

LONG RANGE WEATHER FORECAST ANYONE?

:/

[ramragon]

Looked a few times and few long ranges I found were put together at the start of june and were pretty random, ie unsettled at the end of july with average temperatures, there should be an updated one soon now were in to july

Ram its going to rain isnt it.

Just for you Jacko from the 5th June update, way too far out to be accurate

July

With pressure forecast to be a little lower than average across much of the British Isles during July, a wetter month is currently forecast. Some regional variations are likely though with eastern and southern regions perhaps the more likely to buck that trend. Temperatures close to the seasonal norm are expected.

Jacko Weather Update :

Up until 2 weeks before the festival we have SUN.

(100% clutching at straws here)

Apparently all July will be dry and warm, after this Friday

[ramragon]

I'll take that, although I cant help but be a bit dubious

[viberunner]

I read that as you being dubstepious, which I'm not sure is a real thing.

[Jacko450]

Better forecast than the one I posted, I think that one was made just to torment jacko

[blue6field]

After last years T in the Park I'll be happy with dry!

[stuwilky]

Last years T in the Park was absolutely stupid! Both for rain and for "mud"

[viberunner]

So was Eden. Came back after 24 hours of downpour.

[Flaminglippy]

The forecast looks to have improved massively overnight!
