Just had our local weather forecast from the tor and the lady finished with "looking good for the beginning of Glastonbury festival"

Speaking of the tor anyone up there to watch the solstice? Pondering it myself

OK.

So imagine a big rain cloud is predicted to be over your house. So it predicts rain.

When the forecasters look again it looks like that weather system will be located 10 miles further west.

So now the forecast will say it looks like it will be sunny over your house.

That's all it takes - 5 miles one way or the other and the forecast changes - it's why it's so stupid all this focusing on specific details.

I still don't get your definition of humour / comedy dude.

...or did you respond earlier in the thread?

I only ask because you were very assured and definitive and ABSOLUTIST about it...

...which is very Newtonian...coming from an avowed scientist.

Einstein frowned on absolutism.

Thoughts Frostypaw?

Realised this is the first time iv paid attention to the weather of a festival.

Every other festival iv been to iv just packed for all occasions and dealt with whatever.

I blame this forum.

My view is if it ok when everyone is pitching the tents it's half the battle, I wasn't impressed with BBc weather earlier as glorious sunshine til tuesday then rain for the next 5 days!

Who knows as in Manchester we have had some right moody looking clouds over the last few days but it's been really warm, so you think it's gonna thunder & whatnot but totally no rain...so long as its dry most of fest I can live with that

I really don't understand why we spend so much money on supercomputers trying to predict the weather ( has anyone seen the luxury MetOffice HQ ?! ) just too many variables for a small island like ours - guess what -that cloud might rain on us - and it might not!

Have you considered what life would be like if there was no whether prediction at all?

Thoughts are I gave an example of something funny and something not funny, not any definition of comedy

That was fricking ages ago dude, put the bone down. Not everyone has the same idea of funny, this isn't news. Back to weather - please!

    • Plenty of good stuff this month. Very difficult choice, but I'm going with some of those I've listened to most (the sunny weather may also have been influential)...   1. The Coral - 388 2. Kurt Vile - Philadelphia's Been Good to Me 3. The Lemon Twigs - Look For Your Mind!   Others I've been enjoying... Laurie Anderson's live album, Broken Social Scene, Pigeon, The Black Keys, etc
    • Yesterday was was Primavera is all about and a reminder of why I come back every year. I saw 9 acts, very diverse in terms of genre and vibe, and most of them were great.  Highlights:   The Cure - have wanted to see them for years. Finally caught them and it was immaculate. Robert Smith's vocals at his age are incredible. The band sounded exactly like the albums which is impressive. 2.5 hours with basically no filler somehow.  Viagra Boys - what a front man! So much energy. Non stop moshing. Sound was great, vibe was top notch. Again 10/10 for me.  Rilo Kiley - basically what pipan said. Not a huge crowd but nice vibe, good sound. Different from the other acts I saw.   I also enjoyed the late night electronic stuff with Aurora Halal and KI/KI being fun. Caught some of Skrillex before Aurora Halal and it was cool in it's own way but not really my thing so we left.
