The thing is, even if on the Tuesday of the festival the weatherman is saying it's going to be wall to wall sunshine, we still will all pack for rain anyway because the forecasters can't be sure what the weather will be like in 2 days time.

So, I think any "forecast" now should be taken with a large bucket of salt!

Absolute frothing maniacs! Forecasting the weather beyond next week is more or less a waste of time, never mind two months in advance.

What are you on about?!?! Don't you remember that 3 months of constant snow we had this winter that was foretasted AT LEAST a month in advanced....

The rain on Thursday last year was really good - got rid of all the dust.

Hoping for some rain again this year please!

I see from your signature that 1997, 1998 and 2007 are not forever seared on your memory. You have much to learn.

Some of the papers are running the annual "it's going to be the hottest summer on record" story today... To be followed up in a couple of weeks with the annual "it's going to be a washout" story.

As usual I presume what we will get is a summer with some hot days and some rainy ones. Obviously with a mini heat wave from June 23rd - July 1st.

I think you've nailed it right there.

You're in the wrong thread, this is for infidel weirdy "scientists". You sound like an NFR NFC believer to me.

If his weather power has now grown from 1 to 10, there will surely be no more errors from him...

Would this be a "faith" view? Sounds a bit mystic for this thread.

I'd have more confidence in JackOne if he hadn't completely misread the tealeaves regarding the downpour that hit on the Thursday of last year.

I wouldn't say he completely misread it though, he posted on the Wednesday that out of the blue, it looked like there was going to be moderate rain on the Thursday. It just shows that long range forecasting is bloody hard to get right

      Tbf that happened to me in 2022 so not a one off. 40 euros to drive down 3 streets. I'd have done a runner but the reason for getting the taxi in the first place is cos I couldn't walk no more.

      I was fully prepared (waterproof jacket, extra pair of socks, foldable umbrella), but after four hours in the rain (from Geese through Oklou to Florence Road), it was just too much. Already at the hotel, let's hope tomorrow's better.

      It’s rare that I watch question time, but I almost felt sorry for Kenyon, he seemed like a guy just brought off the street which effectively is what he was, made worse by the fact Burnham and the Tory guy were very strong debaters. I think Burnham was very aware not to go too hard on Kenyon and risk him getting sympathy, in fact he pretty much ignored him.

      Shambles. Transport and comms garbage. Been looking forward to this since last June and have never been to a more disorganised festival in 30+ years.  Why we were told the whole festival was cancelled for the night if they had put back shows for a few hours?  Pissed off to say the very least and put a huge downer on the rest of the weekend.

      Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
