Weather thread 2015

[jeffie]

I have to say, the two nights I was at Download it was pretty hefty rain, especially during Slipknot (one could ring out my shirt) ! The weather can't be as about bad as that. It really did wang it down.

I'm bracing myself for rain and misery, so when the sun appears it'd feel heavenly.

 

Were you there in '07?

Ad impressions.

Harsh.

[djcolsen]

Am I right in thinking it's looking real bleak at the moment?

The inevitable total breakdown in settled weather on the Wednesday is being shown (couldn't script it). Hopefully it doesn't come to fruition, or at least gets pushed back a bit. All still to play for.

[Glastosmile15]

People pack up their tents?

Would be difficult to get it on the train otherwise........

[JoeyT]

All the models seem to be pointing towards an unsettled period now.

 

Obviously not a forgone conclusion but enough to suggest we all dust the wellies and waterproofs off...

Wash out

Wash out

If what is currently being predicted comes to fruition then yes, it's gonna be hard work. The odd shower, cloudy and even a thunderstorm or to is fair enough. Persistent driving rain is total bullshit and puts a downer on everything. Big IF at the moment tho.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Still too early to say a wash out yet. We can only hope it doesn't happen.

What does look pretty likely is there will not be any days of oppressive 2010 style heat.

Can we fast forward to tomorrow when the forecast will be sunny again?

Very mediocre weather until the Monday when I'll be sat in a 5 hour traffic jam on a coach in 28 degree weather. Sounds bloody fantastic.

What is it with this week in the year? Always seems to break up on Glasto week! That maybe not always the case if you look back and I'm sure i'll be proved wrong by statistics but it sure seems that way. You'd have though the Eavis would have thought  putting it back a week or so.

I'm starting regret ordering a few pair of shorts

Eavis should just build a climate controlled dome over the site and be done with it.

Love how the weather automatically gets better day after festival finishes, how predictable

[Aragorn]

God only knows where you are getting washout from - the GEFS Ensembles for Somerset from the 00Z run still look like most are going for a dry period on the whole, the operational is an outlier wghich is why the GFS charts might look abit nasty this morning

[JoeyT]

The one single positive I can think of is i'll get to use the new gel insoles I bought for my wellies.

[elbongo]

Stupid weather thread! Every year the same... Obviously not the good folks, but the pointlessness of it all.

Start choosing a wedding dress.

Metcheck has all kinds of awesomeness.

Accuweather predicts apocalypse.

 

= we could end up with anything.

[alframsey]

I've decided to give up looking at forecasts and just see how we get on next week, ill pack for rain nas always but I cannot take this roller coaster ride any more.

It's Wimbledon as well. They built that roof over centre court for a reason - it rains this week in June every bloody year!

Court No.1 is getting a roof soon as well isn't it?

 

They know.
