The Weather Thread - 2016

[Benj]

Long range forecast is looking good for Reading, perhaps the best I can remember since 2003!

Last slightly decent one, where it was vaguely warm was 2005, have there been any good ones since.

Leeds looks OK too, if not warm,

I will be happy as long as it's dry at Leeds! 

Looks pretty grim for V Festival this weekend.

The last two years at Leeds have been perfect, especially last year.

Not looking too bad for Leeds at the moment!

[kaytee...]

Last year at Leeds was ideal festival weather so hoping for the same again

[Benj]

23-24 and sunny, with zero wind, is ideal for me I think. 

Shorts and t-shirt weather without it being too hot

Weather not looking very good for Leeds now, rain forecast Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

 

[Cammers]

Only seeing rain for Thursday AM and Saturday PM for Leeds at the moment... I think we can safely say we aren't going to have anything major.

As seems to happen every year, things seem to have got a worse and worse as we get closer to the start!

looks like after great weather for their arriving today, those arriving tomorrow at both sites look like they may have to put up with a bit of rain. 

Up hill after that though, with a nice Friday and reasonable Saturday and Sunday

a bit colder in Leeds but still seems like nothing horrific is on the way!

[Benj]

GAHR! As ever the late change to horrific conditions! 

 

Well ate Reading anyway, things improved for Leeds, looks like the whole Saturday Afternoon at Reading could be a right off though, with 3-4 hours of heavyish rain possible, if in bursts. Deffo BIG Coat day

Leeds looks dry Friday & Sat with some light showers Sunday afternoon. At least there shouldn't be mud everywhere.

Netweather are saying dry & sunny throughout so I'm choosing to believe that forecast -

Looks like they'll be some heavy showers, but I doubt it'll be horrific. Temperature still good so I wouldn't go with a big coat! I'd say if you get wet, you'll dry off pretty quickly. Could change though, given that Saturday is still two days away!
