LOLgraphe4_1000_227_165___.gifThe ensembles don't deny it... definitely in with a chance. fair few plumping for no low too though. It remains defiantly, stubbornly and quite unfairly all to play for.Bastards.

Just tell me what seems most likely, please? I am begging as I have no idea what is happening in this thread.

No - the simple answer is take everything.

Otherwise it's a set of possibilities, that's all it is. Read and learn, why not?

With hindsight, we should have started the predicting the weather for the following week a month or two ago and then seen how accurate each forecast was over those weeks. At least then we'd have had 6-8 weeks of 'forecast and outcome' to judge whether they are broadly accurate a week out (and we now need to get depressed) or whether they are fairly inaccurate (and we can all start hoping).

Still, bit late now I suppose!

Damn it, no idea how to post a video clip. just google.....

' leslie nielsen quotes we re all counting on you'

likewise! its been taken over by amateur meteorologists/people with a graph fetish it seems ....I wouldnt mind but common sense says the most accurate forecast is going to be only 1/2 days beforehand and anything else is pointless anyways. Tuesdays weather forecasts will be the ones that matter

Then go away and come back then.

How disinterested you are in the forecasts now doesn't really add much

Weather keeps changing all the time, all i can really see is its going to be dryer than last year, and slighley cooler, which is good in my eyes, as i dont think 2014 was that bad, when it rained it came down abit, but sun dried it up, had a great time anyway

someones got there knickers in a twist....I was simply expressing how baffling most of these graphs are to people not `into it`

 

They are explained fairly regularly and there are text forecasts posted often. Sorry that not every bit of data comes with an in depth analysis.

 

Basically, some models are saying it will be ok, but there are a few now predicting the end of the world or something even worse: 2007.

2014 was defo bad at times. I remember trying to walk from pyramid to other (beat hotel way) after jack White last year. Every step I was nearly over...and I was relatively sober...it was a mess at that point.

ok I can see im pissing off the amateur scientist lot here, ill be silent :) (itll rain) :P

 

Nothing wrong with asking questions and trying to learn what's going on, you just caught us all at a bad moment with that latest run and then you insult the graphs. Hang around for a bit and you'll soon pick up what's going on.

Met Office lastest

 

UK Outlook for Tuesday 23 Jun 2015 to Thursday 2 Jul 2015:

A drier, brighter interlude for most on Tuesday and Wednesday with somewhat warmer conditions expected, although there is still a risk of slow moving showers, mainly in the south. From Thursday onwards, northern and western parts will tend to be cooler and windier with showers or longer spells of rain at times, whereas southern and most eastern areas are more likely to hold onto warmer, drier weather at times, but even across the southeast intervals of occasional rain and stronger winds seem likely at times. There is a possibility that a more generally settled picture to develop across the whole UK towards the start of July, but confidence in any detail is low at this stage.

They're not that baffling are they? Even with my limited knowledge (pressure stays high = good, pressure drops = bad) I can understand most of the charts to an extent.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • 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.
