Weather thread 2015

[stopwn1981]

This country is a bit of joke isn't it. It's high bloody summer this weekend - the longest day of the year - it should be bloody boiling without a cloud in sight. Mid-teens and rain...unacceptable Britain! 'Tis a silly place.

[The Placid Casual]

The rain can do one

Norway can do one.

[The Nal]

could be the worst one since the mudbaths of the 90's

 

although the BBC has almost no rain predicted at all for the 5 days...?

 

Thats what we're looking at now. The worst weather post fence.

I asked this question around this time last year, and got some good mixed responses:

Theoretically, how much would you pay for the guarantee of no rain over the full duration of the festival?

I think right now I'd stretch to £200.

If around half of us throw in £100 each we can raise at least £6,000,000.

I say we do that, then burn it by the stones for the weather God/Godess on Wednesday morning and garuntee dry weather for the festival.

Who's in?

[math125]

That's weird a few days ago on the met page they showed you further ahead.

I've been following that page for a while and I'm not sure it did. Maybe you just saw it on a wednesday and thought it was the dates for the festival?

[ThomThomDrum]

Norway have ruined my day.

 

[wilem]

Norway can do one.

I'm going to stick to looking at BBC weather in blind hope

Indeed

[stopwn1981]

So is the general emerging concensus better or worse than 2014?

From NetWeather:

 

Monday 22nd June - Sunday 28th June
High pressure will be close to the west and south-west of the British Isles during this week, but this will mean a chilly north to north-westerly flow over the British Isles at times, so temperatures will never be particularly warm for the time of year. The first half of the week will be relatively changeable in northern and eastern Britain, with shallow low pressure systems often tracking between Iceland, Scandinavia and the North Sea, but these are unlikely to produce much rainfall, with cool cloudy conditions and intermittent light rain or scattered showers being the predominant theme. For western and southern Britain, especially the south-west, the proximity of the high pressure should keep the weather mostly dry and sunny, with temperatures close to average for the time of year.

In the second half of the period the high pressure will move closer to the British Isles which will mean mostly dry sunny conditions spreading to the east of the country, and temperatures will rise close to average in the east and rather above in the west. The main exception will be the north and north-west of Scotland, where a strengthening westerly flow on the northern flank of the high pressure will bring cloudier conditions with rain belts spreading from west to east at times.

Temperatures will be 0 to 1C below the 1981-2010 average for most of northern and eastern Scotland and eastern England, but around 1C above in parts of Wales and south-west England, thanks to the SW-NE split caused by the high pressure being sat to the south-west of the British Isles and sometimes covering the south-west of the country. Rainfall totals will be below average almost everywhere, markedly so in western England, Northern Ireland, Wales and south-west Scotland, but may reach near-average totals in north-east Scotland. Sunshine will be well above average in western parts of the country, but close to average in the east.

[Untz]

that's what I call clutching at straws

 

And it's not really true for the areas that get the worst mud: SE corner, Silver Hayes and The Park.

[ThomThomDrum]

It must be a heatwave coming. Nal is going full on post apocalyptic doom and gloom!

[Untz]

So is the general emerging concensus better or worse than 2014?

 

Worse. At least 2014 was warm at times.

[math125]

You are my Solskjaer,

My Ole Solskjaer,

You make me happy,

When skies are grey.

[The Placid Casual]

NetWeather is the one.

[bennyhana22]

So rain every day then?

 

Mudbath.

 

And.......relax.

 

Equilibrium has been returned to The Force.

Better. BETTER! And I wasn't even there!!!

Which infers the rule of two Sith.

[stopwn1981]

Worse. At least 2014 was warm at times.

It was defo muddy tho.

[fightoffyour]

Nope. The Sun could be destroyed overnight and it wont rise as a consequence, so its not absolutely certain, but it is of course extremely likely

 

"Absolutely Certain"? Probably death is the only thing approaching absolute certainty we can be sure of universally..............but then thats up for debate too isnt it?

 

Maybe the only true certainty in the universe is that there is no absolute certainty?

Death and taxes.

 

Edit: Ah Benny beat me to it. Good ol' Benny.

If we're talking about mud, maybe the same. 

 

Or better. Depends on the forecast.

Haha. In my excitement I've duplicated two other posts. Is that a trend?

 

Where's pedmills? Not enough graphs this morning.
