Models are starting to agree which is a really good sign. Likelihood of mix of cloud with a bit of sun and some showers - most likely Friday, least likely Wednesday and Thursday. When I say showers, I mean a tiny amount of rain and not enough to cause problems. 1mm of rain is equivalent to a litre over a square metre - it's not much. The fly in the ointment is still the low in the Atlantic. This is predicted to bring rain as close as South Wales, so this is my get out of jail card if it rains.

 

J10: No update last night.

 

GFS: Light showers Friday afternoon. Otherwise dry. Rain not far away (South Wales)

TWO: Showers on Friday, but otherwise dry

Meteox: Showers Friday, showers Sunday. Otherwise dry.. 

Meteo: Very light showers on Friday and Sunday. Otherwise dry.

GFS Ensemble: Showers overnight on Friday. Only individual runs showing any rain after that. 

Met Office: Showers Friday afternoon. Not forecasting Sat or Sun yet. 

ECM: Possible showers on Saturday. Otherwise dry. 

YR.NO: Shower on Sunday. Otherwise dry.

With all the positive talk can I please return the house to its rollercoaster order?!

What are the chances of the Low pressure that was Bill still pushing south in time for the weekend?

Hard to gauge but the BBC video suggests any rain would be light?
Would the warmer weather to the south not help supply that front with more of a downpour?

I spent Saturday dutifully dodging showers to have a good ol' fashioned British summer bbq... it appears this has done enough to appease the weather spirits for now, but now is not the time for complacency and celebration.

There's always the possibility of Bill pushing South, but there's a high over Europe competing with it and the high over Greenland that pushes the lows down is breaking up (of course, it might not break up, it's still there now).

 

Would the warmer weather supply Bill with more moisture? Unlikely - winds will go anti-clockwise around a low, so our air will have come from Europe, not from over the sea (you might detect a hint of garlic). Bill will be getting it's moisture from the Atlantic and is a normal low pressure now, nothing special.

 

The forecasts aren't nailed on because of the proximity of Bill, but it's looking more and more likely.

And there I was looking online for gaiters over the weekend.

Goodbye waterproofs, hello space cakes

 

I studied meteorology at university. I always take gaiters. Never wellies, but always walking boots and gaiters. Did it in 97, did it in 2010. Foolish not to. We get obsessed by weather in this blessed land because it's never nailed on.

 

To be fair, my studies were a long time ago and mostly involved studying pine cones and interviewing witches.

Wellies can stay in the car in case Bill heads south, meteorologically speaking.  Breathable walking boots for me as every year bar 2010.  Best thing is when they double as a pint holder whilst lounging outside Brothers, barefoot in the sunshine.  Bring it on!

Just an inappropriately for the thread unscientific warning - the last time I left my wellies in the car because it was clearly gonna be a scorcher was 2005.

 

Then the Great Smiting of 2005 happened.

 

Take the wellies.

Agree.

 

Once in the last couple of years we left our wellies and boots in the car.

 

I took it for the team going to get them in trainers on, was it the Wednesday/Thursday evening?

 

That was really really shit.

It's 1st of March 2009. Aston Villa are 4th in the league with a 5 point gap and a game in hand over 5th placed Arsenal, chasing Champions League qualification for the first time.

They're at home to Stoke City. They're 2-0 up. It's the 88th minute. They're about to move 8 points clear with 11 to play.

 

Nothing can go wrong now can it? CAN IT?

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
