Weather

Science bump.

Both accuweather and festiweather currently giving an alright outlook. Accuweather not looking too good for Sunday. Im predicting one of those mixed years. Bit of rain, bit of sun. Not too hot or too cold at night. Splendid in my book.

The amount it has been raining lately here, by the time the festival arrives there will be no rain left to fall!!!

Just trying to keep a positive vibe going - we can hope at least:-)

Come and see us in the NFR NFC thread!! You sound like our sort lol

That's not very warm on http://festiweather.com/forecast.asp?EventID=667&event=Glastonbury%20Festival%202014

[Glastonlocal]

Yeah it is a bit cold. That would be well below average max temperatures. But its a comfortable enough temperature.

That's a very comfortable temperature though, I don't think anyone could possibly be unhappy with that. In fact I'd say very high teens - low 20's is perfect weather.

I can't remember if the beer jacket works both ways, i.e keeps you warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot :s

I think there's a psychological - physiological distinction. If cold, beer jacket forms a psychological barrier against cold.

If hot, beer is cooling.

The answer to questions of temperature is almost always beer, unless it is cider.

Alcohol lowers the body temperature so you don't feel as cold when you've had a skinful.

I'll experiment this weekend and if i can remember what I am doing then i will write down the results

I quite like wearing an actual jacket, as it saves having to lug around a man-bag for bits and bobs.

Yeah a sauna or fridge vs quantity of beer/cider data collection would be handy.

Agreed . that is perfection. A bit like 2008 , which without the downpour Thursday Night /Friday morning was spot on either side. Stick !

Looking good so far:

Should be in the next week or so that we start getting a slightly better indication of what weather we might actually get, shouldn't it? Weather like last year would be perfect.

...without the Thursday rain.

[Gnomicide]

Right...

Which Weather sites are good and which should be avoided? I can never remember.

Isn't there a Swedish one or something that people swear by? Accuweather has a poor rep but I enjoy its brave attempts at long-range forecast. Jackone at netweather is the chap to follow. His blog tomorrow will be enlightening. Met office are obviously authoritative. BBC tend to give out an overly cautious reading of met office data. Festiweather is hopeless.

The J1 blog tomorrow will be interesting. We are *starting* to get into a forecastible timeframe. We should at least start getting some sort of indication of what the pre-festival conditions will be like. Obviously, drier ground can cope with more rain at festival time, so even if the festival weekend itself is too far away, I don't think it's too early to start getting some sort of useful information.

I like the graph with all the different predictions getting closer and closer together, i think that's being done again... Anyone got a link? I would search but Sam Smith is invading my iphone....

Norwegian, and yes, seems pretty accurate most of the time.

[Glastonlocal]

You know that no matter how many you check, you will only believe the ones that show it to be good, no matter which site it is.

It's not a matter of belief. It's a matter of rational observation of data.

He's right though, you know he is.

For all your science, you lot hope and believe just as much as we do. Lol

[Glastonlocal]

I'll believe it when I see it. Hope, yes I certainly do!
