The forecasts don't look too bad, and even on the Netweather forums they are still talking of showers as opposed to persistent rain... but all I'm seeing are lows sitting over the UK, which to me just says rain! Feeling quite pessimistic

That video has lows in every direction at the 2.49min mark- an absolute horror show!

Then miraculously a high appears to the east, but does an instant runner. That high is our only hope- if it can somehow fight back against the low, we might stand a chance. Actually there is also a high to the south west- yet both these high's are getting pushed out by the low to the north west- if only one of them can make a stand...

Well so much for a clearly unsettled end to the week. The UKMO has suddenly realised that there is high pressure to the north and sends the low into France instead of the UK

GFS is bringing barely any significant rainfall to the UK, just a few showers here and there.

Still a lot of uncertainty even in the more reliable timeframes.

GEM is different to both at day 5

low pressure squeezing through slowly instead of the quick UKMO solution and the GFS solution where low pressure fails to reach the UK.

That's the latest post in the netweather forum. Not all doom and gloom!

Seems to me most sites have improved since last night? metcheck says rain on friday but dry otherwise, accuweather and weather.com say piddly bits of rain most days, and yr.no makes for entirely sexy viewing.

I think 'BBC weather is shit/terrible/a joke/rubbish/pathetic/unreliable etc etc' is posted on a daily basis here. I can't fathom why people are STILL looking at it...

Because it is essentially the MET office forecast so is probably the most trustworty forecast going

It isn't, half the time it's completely different to the Met forecast and by no means is the Met forecast the "most trustworthy" forecast going

I'm seeing some very positive changes since the first update this morning, where I was starting to get concerned over sat and Sunday.

Much better now, Thursday and Friday look most at risk of rain, but nothing terrible. Yes.... This positive energy is working ...

Aye, there's 700 pages of the stuff elsewhere ;)

like Filmguy said, they deviate enough that I don't think they are. Met currently reporting a 40% chance of 'light rain' on Thursday so far. Which I'm comfortable with.

The bbc website forecast is computer generated from the models are is often rubbish. Could you tell me why the met office is not the most trusted?

Forecasting the weather is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman: First you've got to check whether she's fair or stormy; both conditions are possible and changes may occur suddenly and without warning. Then see whether you need protection; as a rule, never leave home without. When you're done, you can simply toss your hat aside, safe in the knowledge that it's kept you from even worse conditions, and, more importantly, those unwanted lows.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
