ah, the traditional Who/Chems downpour

[parsonjack]

I guess it depends whether Somerset will get the South weather or the West weather!

unfortunately the prevailing winds mean we tend to get the West weather....

[filmguy]

Repeat after me "they can't forecast the weather this far out, they can't forecast the weather this far out" ......and then relax

Anybody listen to radio1 this morning on Grimmys show. They were talking about the weather at glastonbury but i only caught the end of it. But from what i could make out it wasnt sounding positive!

Don't think you'll get many on here listening to his show!

If it rains it'll be the Tories fault!

This is like folk wondering if someone is pregnant with a boy or a girl and then claiming its one or the other based on something other than a definitive sex test, like size of bump, heartburn, activity, the way a crystal swings etc etc

Weather predictions right now are like circles. Totally pointless.

There will be "wash out" articles and scorchio articles on this over the next few weeks. Tis all click bait.

Start looking from Sunday Week................

So what your saying is that we need to look at all the data again?

Errrr, I think you'll find us gays are to blame for bad weather.

Apologies in advance.

Latest update from the websites currently forecasting amounts of rainfall for the festival:

I don't have anything to add to this, it's just very very sexy and I wanted to see it more.

It did rain Thursday night/ Friday morning I think in 2008 as I remember load of our group being miserable expecting a repeat of the previous year. The rest of it was great though I think

The groan across site as that rain started really was palpable - I 99% knew it wasn't going to be serious but the heart still sank like a stone. Scarred.

Last year as the storm started there was a groan... then I can honestly say it was probably my favourite ever glastonbury moment. People dancing to random bars playing music, people doing a hokey cokey, we met a few people we will never see again and shared a drink in the rain and a dance.

Everyone where we where came together and loved it.

I do love it when people come in this thread and say "there's no point looking at any forecasts for another two weeks" as though a) we don't know that or we're going to stop talking about it!

[smudger]

Answer me this, why is the weather, well, so, so utterly shit? All the fucking time?

Is it because there is a God and he/she is a total dickhead?

[Spindles]

No. It is not.

It just saves it for when you're not at work - I've got plenty farmer tan already

[Guest]

then he sure as hell doesn't deserve me at my best.

I was having a bad day today in the office. Someone came over and wanted a word and I thought "oh gawd, what now!?" He said he wanted to mention something about Glasto. I thought, oh that's cool, go on then. He then proceeded to tell me he heard it was going to be very, very wet and muddy. Yes we kinda expect it, but totally bummed me out for a bit. You do hope it'll be sunny throughout. 2 and a bit weeks off - can they really predict that far ahead?!

My favourite post of the day. You get a better class of poster in Oxford though.

I cycle to work every day so have to keep an eye on the weather for what I need to wear. Two days ahead the forecast can be wall to wall rain, then when it gets to the day it doesn't even rain. It's all a bit of a guess really.

Not really, but now you know exactly why they print those articles - so folk who aren't going can feel good about it and take glee in informing the lucky few that they're going to have a horrible time - schadenfreude sells papers

Sometimes we do know properly in advance eg. 2010, sometimes it's hoping a threatening low goes the right way eg. 2013, sometimes it's hoping the low fucks off eg. 2014 - we're somewhere between the first two now but still too far to put my money down by a long way

I loved the storm last year - what scares me are the words "persistent rain".

How far out was the 2010 heatwave predicted (sorry forecast) ?? I don't think we were talking heatwave until just before the fest....
