Weather 2016

This will do, a lots of sun to begin with and a bit of thunder and rain to add to the theatre

THIS WILL DO?? 

Thunderstorms Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday 

Are you sure this will do? 

[Untz]

Every time I come into this thread there seems to be someone saying storms are a good thing.

This is the madness that takes over when you don't have lots of data and graphs and pretty colours for people to complain about.

Rather a short shower when pitching than it being washed away in torrential storms on Friday.

I'll put up with what we have today every day for two weeks if it means Glastonbury is more or less dry.

Lovely day up here in Edinburgh,  would gladly put up with this.

Never understood when people say rain adds to the atmosphere! 

Cannot say I agree with that one exactly.

It adds moisture to the atmosphere I suppose.

its ok.. Nathan Rao says it will be the hottest summer ever 

 

when will it start then ......can NR tell us that

[ten2doc]

there's no doubting it the rain completely f**ks with my Glastonbury mojo. It's a whole different more laid back affair when the sun is out.

Current forecast is perfect in my opinion

[Digital Monkey (Womad)]

Lots of rain at Glasto? Hell yeah......it'll mean sods staying in their tents, or finding shelter anyway they can.

And I can walk around in full waterproofs and walking boots with less crowds to get in my way as I wonder aimlessly from stage to stage.

Only snag - staying on your feet all day is bloody knackering

Eh? Where did all the thunderstorms go?

While I want it to be mostly hot and dry, I want a little rain (perhaps Sunday evening?). Otherwise I've bought boots and waterproofs for nothing

No, unused boots and waterproofs are an offering to the sun god!

What's the rest of May looking like?  I've just posted in the glastocam thread my fear of them doing lots of prep onsite in the wet, so rushed here to see that it's all going to be OK.  June looking great!

[Dave_c]

I don't really care if it's muddy, as long as it doesn't continuously rain because that's just depressing in my opinion. Last 2 years have been ok for me, that or better and I'm happy!

[Padgey]

Yep STICK with what Accuweather are predicting today, although it's a load of bollox at this stage.

That'll do. 

Ah, I'm just tormenting myself on this thread, wonder what we'll all be doing in 6 weeks... Do we have any resident experts in these parts? Just gonna try to take everything with a pinch of salt till I'm there but I can't help getting me hopes up...

[stopwn1981]

Apologies if already asked/answered, but when is jackones first forecast due?

[shuttlep]

a week of weather like today before and during please god

[rumpola]

Obviously there's no way to accurately predict the weather this far out, but I'm very surprised (and a little disappointed) this thread isn't on the front page as it has been for previous festivals.

Surely it's nearly time to talk about jetstreams, Azores fingerings, German frauleins and Phil Jones?
