What are you seeing? Maybe I'm reading it wrong but I'm just looking at the 'cloud coverage' and 'air temperature'

Precipitation. That's rainfall.

I'll just be happy not to need wellies!

14mm of rain on the friday? I think you will haha

[irm96]

Where are we getting 14mm from?? All I'm seeing is 1mm and 2mm at some rare points... To me this still overall looks like a very positive forecast no?

[KeithDelBasso]

Are you sure you're not reading this weekend's forecast?

[irm96]

I reckon I must be reading the forecast wrong, but to my eyes next weekend in terms of precipitation all I see are 1s and 2s?

You're right, I swear it did say 14mm like a few hours ago tho.

[AldoTVAOF]

Was definitely 14mm a couple of hours ago, was panicking when I saw it! Can deal with a couple of mm of rain a day as long as it's not belting down? Anyone have a rough estimate of how many mm of rain before wellies become a necessity?

I'm pretty sure in 2011 it only rained for an hour and it wasn't too heavy. Place was a mud fest but that was by the Sunday. It depends on how good the ground is in strathallan.

Ah I must of not seen it, I'm thinking the same like, as long as it's not pishing down all weekend and there's some sun I'm not too fussed! Weird thing is it rained most of the day and night on Sat last year and the ground was absolutely fine on the Sunday?

Was it not just for a couple of hours during calvin harris it rained last year? Can't mind rain during the day.

[Ahthing]

A lot of it depends when and the weather that follows. Last few years it has rained heavy for an hour or so but because of the sun it's not made it too bad - almost just hydrating the grass.

 

I have yet to wear wellies in the 5 years I've been and that won't change this year unless we get a 2012 massacre (thank fuck I wasn't there) *touchwood* .

 

Don't think you really need them personally - just watch where you walk really - can avoid the mud a lot by going outwith the 'standard pathways'.

 

Was raining one of the mornings last year and then when the Saturday headliners were on, think that was the only times.

Back end of Calvin Harris last year was horrendous down pour. But it was that bad. It was almost good. I remember dancing outside an arcade after the Calvin Harris set, and they were blasting out stone roses. Eventually there was about 200 people all dancing!!

It did when I looked this morning but they must have updated.

 

1 and 2mm is nothing if it comes to that. You will get wetter at the urinals with splashback.

Unless it's that dreaded drizzle!!

[crowie]

The rain that gets you wet?!

 

Being serious, still quite a few days away to be taking these forecasts as gospel, still plenty of time for winds to change and either drag in or push away any rain clouds.. Will have a far better idea next Tues/Wed.

[KeithDelBasso]

Haha the 14mm has gone. Definitely said that earlier on though - I'm not going mad!

 

The rain after Calvin last year was definitely the wet rain. Ended up soaked.

[AldoTVAOF]

Windfinder currently looking promising! No rain all weekend and gradually getting warmer each day upto 20 degrees on the Sunday, hoping it stays the same!

Experience deems wellies necessary. I mind turning up at Connect with pointed base loafers on. By the Saturday, a pair of green dunlops had been purchased.
