This is looking pretty good isn't it?

Apart from the days when it isn't.

ALL ABOARD THE WEATHERCOASTER.

Today's average is the highest we've had yet (11.5mm):

[devonhammer]

I've got a lorry load being delivered today! What the hell am I going to do with them now?!!?

 

Get sacrificing. All this GOT stuff is fiction, the goats are real.

Next step, apply for a last minute catering license and set up a Curry Goat stall in West Holts. No need to waste all that goat.

Latest BBC forecast:

 

Monday 22 June—Sunday 28 June Diverging computer models

The various computer models are diverging at this point but some common patterns have emerged. 

In general, we are expecting high pressure to bring a good deal of dry and settled weather to many northern, central and eastern parts of Britain but this will also mean the increased risk of warmer thundery plumes potentially bringing localised thunderstorms. Further north, frontal systems will make inroads at times. On the whole we are likely to see average or below average temperatures across Northern Ireland and Scotland but the further south and east you are, you're more likely to have days of above average temperatures particularly associated with the warmer air being drawn in from the continent. Rainfall amounts are expected to be below average.

So I don't get into a sticky situation.

These goats, are we sacrificing them standard western style or halal ?

[Filthy]

Is it the band Goat? Seems a bit harsh

Sounds OK if it pleases the weather gods...

That doesn't mention the South West at all!  Does that mean there will be no weather?

Love the pre festival weather buildup but after years of seeing forecasts say one thing then the actual weather be nothing like it,  I tend now to wait and see. Only solid long term rain or long term high pressure and sun seems to come to fruition

 

Even last weekend our forecast had heavy rain forecast all day for the 5 days leading up then it changed on the Saturday morning to dry, which it was

[GlastoSimon]

It's all getting a little negative around this place, hopefully it'll pick up this evening/as the week goes on

All this professional meteorological forecasting using science and models and facts is a load of rubbish.

2 days before the festival im going to stand in my garden naked waving a large pointy stick at the nearest cloud shouting something along the lines of `piss off you fluffy bastards`

should work......or I may spend the festival banged up for public intoxication and indecency....we shall see.

 

Can I bring my goats?

Hahahah now that made me laugh 

[psychology]

Surely it must be time for Big Dogs walks?

[big__phil]

as long as there not bitin goats!!!........that could resulted in an unintended and very embarrassing hospital stay

 

The ultimate sacrifice to the weather gods!

to be fair if there's one thing that Pedmill's charts have categorically proven it's that the weather is all over the shop. There's still time for it to settle/drop back down to favourable levels.

[Mr Splodge]

I predict dry, not overly warm especially at night. On the plus side sitting on the ground will be in order because there will be grass not mud.

Not scientific but what I think.

Wrong thread so!

Time to pretend I know what's going on...

 

So the up until this point the median has been comfortably below the mean, until they converged today. I would imagine this is natural as we get closer to the festival that the lines should become closer, as forecasts become more accurate.

 

Having said that, the difference between maximum and minimum is still as big as ever, so lots to play for!

Any volunteers ?

I will volunteer my husband after he came home late last night and nearly burned the house down by putting pizza in the oven and then passing out on the sofa. Them again- the weather gods may not want him!!!!

Latest GFS charts aren't too pretty.

With the ghost of Steve Jobs on our side what could possibly go wrong.

Latest GFS charts couldn't be any worse :-(

 

GFS is never very accurate though. The big guns will have reports in a couple of days.

For someone who knows nothing about these things.

What is the point in looking at them?
