Weather thread 2015

[djcolsen]

90,000 people at a festival expected to pack up and sit in their vehicles? Does no one go by public transport? That's the most ludicrous reaction to weather I've read.

Maybe used as an excuse to get kings of Leon off

[Porcelina]

Public transport? In Delaware!?

[GlastoSimon]

Pah, a little old lightning storm! We took that in our stride last year.

Wednesday fan here too. Did my shins a right injury celebrating that goal. (sorry tweed1981)

 

It was a pretty wild celebration considering it meant little to us. 

 

 I was on the sidelines right by the Wednesday bench for that game (working for a certain televisual show)

 

The scenes both then and then in the tunnel after will live in my mind for a very long time

 

Is that you, Clem? 

 

What happened in the tunnel? Was it to do with Lloyd Isgrove's frustration?

 

I don't know, I think the imbecile was trying to hug him?

What are the chances of two Wednesday fans being on the weather thread, at least it means we all know you can't take anything for granted until the final whistle.

 

We know that for sure. Luckily it's worked for us in our favour as well this season. It only usually goes against us.

Not a Wednesday fan, but if this helps swing any ratios my first ever football kit was the 1992 Sanderson Wednesday kit. Had the choice between that and the Leeds kit off Santa. What a shite choice eh!

 

Great kit.

I hope you're right.

My group have been moaning about accuweather for weeks now.

Things are looking positive. Or we could be Tottenham 3-0 up at Old Trafford.

If we are comparing ourselves to Spurs then we are fucked (coming from a spurs fan!)

[frostypaw]

Oi football people! Half the posts now are getting footbally... drag it back.

*whistle* red card.

Haha sorry so am I, it's a good job Glastonbury is straight after the football season. It levels me out after 9 months of watching that shit.

Lol brilliant. Perhaps you prefer tennis? We're 2-0 up on sets but ....

 

No in all seriousness you're right, thanks for the chart and graph analysis people, makes no sense to me beforehand.

[ink1ing]

Indeed.. I love this thread and am enjoying the trend the weather is taking.. The football discussion less so..

[rocks1ar]

anyone got the link to that weather bloke who has been doing the video updates?

Sorry to stretch the football analogy  - Glastonbury weather following generates almost exactly the same emotions as following Spurs - should any non-footy fans want to recreate this, would recommend doing that...

Both sides were frustrated to say the least and Lee Probert certainly heard about it. The actual tunnel (the vinyl thing they slide out) got smashed and broken by a senior Watford player kicking it. Then the fire alarms were going off from the flares outside. Then the Watford mascot came in screaming about how it was all bullshit.

 

The everlasting image for me will be seeing the mascot, sat on a step with his head off, head in hands for about 5 minutes. Then, gets up, puts on the head, walks out the tunnel, swearing as he goes and immediately starts dancing once out of the tunnel. What a pro

Right, so the line up is looking good, we've had a mixed bag in terms of pre season results but we're taking some good momentum into the opening fixture. Take it into the corner son, we can see this out and don't be tempted to go for the big win by bringing on George Weah's cousin late in the game.

Good old Harry the Hornet! Who was the senior Watford player, if assume it would be Deeney?

Anyway, no more footie talk from me. Weather, it's going to be nice, nothing taken for granted etc etc.

"Worse and worse"

[yellowsnow]

My Met Office app says for Wednesday and Thursday it will be cloudy with sunny intervals and 20c. I'll take that. 

 

edit: if you put Glastonbury in rather than Pilton on the BBC Weather, the extended weather report has no rain, just cloudy.

I feel like an England supporter going into a World Cup.

But isn't the festival in Pilton rather than Glastonbury?

Do we need Weather Club Rules:

1. Always the right Pilton BA4 4BY

2. No one cares what your free weather app says

3. Yesterday's forecasts are as welcome as herpes

4. No german girls anymore, sorry.

Yes but I like the Glastonbury forecast better

As it is Sunday and to compliment the Countryfile forecast I have deployed the dog to conduct a series of site observations commencing at 0800Z210615.  Once the dog was calibrated after dropping what looked like a baby seal behind him (in hindsight a fresh bone was not a great idea yesterday) observations commenced.  we had 8/8 Oktas and a fresh breeze from the direction of the Tor, enough to move the ears but not a full on flap.

Ground conditions along the North side of the site are dry and hard, no sign of imprint from the fat feckers paws and so an estimated California Bearing Ratio of CBR 1 on the tracks, CBR2 off track.

Temperature and humidity was measured by the patent big dog panting index, today we were panting but not slobbering indicating indirect solar radiation and black body ansorption somewhat less than perfect but definitely not equilibrium in accordance with the intent of Kirchhoff and Planck.

The continuing dry weather was demonstrated by the dessicated nature of the rabbit scut that the dirty bugger kept eating when he thought I wasn't looking.  The Buzzards weren't thermalling, too early for rising air and maybe a Sunday lay in.

All in all, satisfactory observations with an improving outlook today.  The static observations of the rest of the instruments on return show that the brick on a string is dry but waving about and the water buts are nearly empty.

Now there we have the only forecast that matters.
