Weather thread 2015

[Porcelina]

Even if we got 12mm on the Sunday, that's not a huge amount really - I'd say we got that at Blur in Hyde Park yesterday, which was fine.

[briddj]

Warm nights means cloud cover...and at those temps suggests thunderstorms to me...I would rather we were looking at clear chilly nights.

 

It's 22 degrees, that's not very warm in the scheme of things.

Difficult to not feel optimistic, but let's not forget the horror of the Sunday before forecasting last year when it all turned to shit in a matter of hours.

[briddj]

Sat: Still completely dry, pressure definitely higher than on the previous run and rising. Temp has cooled again though from earlier to a high of 19.

Here's all days. Massive improvement on the Sunday now but still concerns for that day.

Weds: Pressure stable, no rain, max temp a degree higher at 22.

Thurs: Pressure a little higher than the previous run (high ridged further up), no rain, max temp remains 22

Fri: Bit more rain on the scene for the afternoon but still a minimal amount and not enough to cause any problems, and clear by tea time.  Temperatures now two degrees higher to a humid 23, but cooling off in the evening.

Sat: Still completely dry, pressure definitely higher than on the previous run and rising. Temp has cooled again though from earlier to a high of 19.

Sun: Rain has definitely pushed back, as it was hitting the west coast at midnight earlier. That now doesn't happen until around 6am. Rain missing the site completely, and while it remains menacing it skirts far further north than before - but still can't be complacent about that situation. Noticably warmer too than earlier, now up to max of 23 from 20.

What time is the countryfile forecast?

[Divein]

Is anyone able to post a summery forecast of this time last year? Would love to know where we were at this stage last year and how it actually turned out.

At this stage last year the forecasts were much worse than they currently are - and they were about to get a whole lot worse. Lets hope a late change doesn't happen again.

All runs suggest lower pressure for the Thursday, however GFS keeps reasonable pressure over the UK, so again only showers at worst.

If this was poker, we'd be all in with a pair of aces vs a small pair.

The flops been safe. Just gotta get through the last two cards...

I thought I saw your holiness a few pages back!

Wise words indeed. It wasn't too dissimilar a set up then suddenly the low started being progged to attack us like a rabid dog

But the hopes are building, Monday evening's runs I'll get the bubbly ready.

Still. Omfg.

Only if it goes in our favour, if not then it's simply bollocks of astrology proportions.
