Yep last three significant El Nino events occured 2004–05, 2006–07 and 2009–2010.

04 was shit, 05 was horrific, 06 would've been but there was no festival, 07 was the worst, 09 pissed down and 2010 was a rare occasion where we get the good end of it.

Accuweather now showing a crazy amount of thunderstorms in the week before and during the festival.

So in short, this year is going to be shit. We're fucked. Guaranteed rain and mud.

You cant trust the weather but you can always trust Nals annual weather wind up.

Was thinking the other day how many times I’ve read a mudbath prediction from Nal over the years. It might well rival Mardy's total for slagging off reformed 90s no-hopers being rumoured to play.

I think its a cunning plan, to get everyone to plan for and expect the worst, so they then have a million times more fun when its super sunny.

I actually prefer this attitude to the NFR NFC lot..

We often get mud. Which usually clears. Even in 05. Genuine mudbaths: 85, 97, 98 & 07 (didn't go in 85 but don't think anyone who did would describe it any other way). 11 wasn't the most fun I've ever had either but "usually" is stretching things a touch.

Its gonna be another 2010 I can feel it... theres a touch of familiarity to the forecasts, with some predicting thunder and some predicting pure sun.. the week before we'll all be out stocking up suncream :)

Btw its 4 weeks now so I'm back on this thread :D

why? It has no more effect on what the weather will actually do than when people make me laugh by picking their favourite weather forecast.

hahahaha, if the forecast is good, its correct...if not, those weather-people havent got a clue anyway, etc!

    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
    • I left and went home, saw the Massive Attack update when I got in the door. Typical 💀
