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

Accuweather is still only saying 3mm of rain for friday and 1mm for the rest, thats nothing.

With the ground as dry as it is this shouldn't be a problem at all.

Plus, even if it is raining, who cares, it'll still be the best festival in the world.

[tumbles]

I was expecting a 7 from J10 after all the weird runs today. Hopefully the high pressure is going to hold on

[Woffy]

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.

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.

Don't know what's worse in this thread, Nal's trolling or the fact some people seem to have fell for it.

Anyway, badgers.

[Mr.Tease]

Why is there high pressure and low pressure but never any medium pressure? This has bothered me for quite some time.

[badger80]

Anyway, badgers.

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

[scaryclaireyfairy]

can always rely on rexclark to have a gif for every occasion.

[jeffie]

Rex, where's the beautiful sun. gif?

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!

[Glastonlocal]

I like the way a guy called Badger80 turns up to support a post involving badgers.

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

[worthyraver]

Everybody loves badgers surely....

Bring it

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!

[Glastonlocal]

Well, I have to say, in Somerset opinion is rather split! I don't mind 'em. They seem to love shitting in the garden. Farmers aren't such fans generally, including ME. But lets stick to the weather.

[jeffie]

More bone Woffy.....

[haznutuk]

Back to weather - please!

Currently overcast and muggy in Glastonbury Town. Not a hint of rain in the air.

[mrfunk]

PLEASE can we keep this thread on topic i.e. just for weather ;-)

love & peace
