Weather thread 2015

[Swine_Glasto2014]

Surely not shite after this week.of dry weather???

[BambooShanks]

I'm remaining optimistic. This is just the standard blip before a load of high pressure sweeps in for the duration of the festival.

Tomorrow's forecast will be better, and if it isn't, i may buy a dinghy just in case

[FuzzyDunlop]

We're fucked

[frostypaw]

a 6?! Oh dear......

Hahahaha love that one

I think he's been a bit premature, some rain != mudbath but it's wise for him to err on the side of caution considering some's responses.

It's not been a great day for headliner news, came online hoping the weather thread makes up for it...

[slash's hat]

We definitely need some reassurance that we're going to be fingered...

I can hear the snap of the latex glove. Brace yourself.

Plenty of fingering talk in here. Which reminds me, Is that micky flanagan fella playing the comedy tents this year?

This is my first festival outing since the floods of kendal calling last year. I've got the weather fear :-(

Will be seeing a few faces like this in Shangri La

[CiaranMc]

I'm borderline addicted to this thread now, and the weather reports in general. But when the reports are bad I go on a downward moany spiral and start ranting on about "bloody weather" etc. Is it too much to ask for some dry days in summer?

This.

[justperfect]

That just caps off a pretty turdy day on the efest's boards.

I'm signing off till tomorrow and hoping for a better day

I like they way the say "we'll have a more accurate forecast at the beginning of next week" no sh*t Sherlock!!!!

[Padgey]

Plenty of time for it to turn, I still think it's going to be vest weather and by Tuesday we're going to have a pic of Jonesy with a big beamer on his face.

Reliable?

It's from the met office so probably as reliable as any other report. Seems to be keeping with the general Sun & showers theme.

At least they are not reporting an epic mud bath like most other papers would at the first mention of rain!

[scorp]

Compared to what it could be, the western daily mail forecast is an excellent forecast for those not wanting a mudfest or too much heat. 

[Gnomicide]

HEEEYY YOU GUUUYYYYSSSS!!!

I really struggled to see out Kendal to the end last year.  It was not a happy time. 

[Alcatraz]

Time to invoke some bouncebackability

Speculative forecasts have had ticket-holders worried about the prospect of a bud bath as well as an oppressive heatwave.

 

 

Bud bath? Someone on their team has a sensi of humour

I'm still not freaking out yet - the one constant so far is that every forecast for the festival itself is inconsistent, and all of them are predicting that the week+ before the festival will be hot. Jackone, Accuweather, MetOffice, Festiweather etc are all over the shop.

 

I'd imagine this weekend/early next week is when we'll start to see a trend emerging, but either way it appears that whatever happens, we're set for dry/warm weather *before* the festival, so hopefully the ground holds up if it rains.

we went from potential perfect weather to potential mudbath in a day. We will do that 8 or so times before we know for sure.
