Tyonks Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Dont want to tempt fate too much but looks like it could be ideal weather. Very bright but not unbearably hot and with minimal rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcade fireman Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Wednesday and Thursday are the two most important days. Dictate condition underfoot and also the days when bands aren't on. If it starts raining Fri/Sat/Sun not so bothered really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just putting the factor 30 in my bag and I find that they're looking at cooler temps and rain nearly every fucking day... Yeah don't pack it. That seems like a really smart idea.

phillyfaddle Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I just watched Countryfile. Forecast looked absolutely fine to me. No rain over Somerset at all....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedgeAntilles Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 My favourite thing about the weather thread is people summoning The Nal then getting wound up when he does Nal things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewUnion Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 That wasn't too bad. Professional forecaster said it's going to be mostly O.K. So I'm going with that for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBalls Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 So basically packing wise, should I go with a something floaty and cool for Wednesday and Thursday, and then move into my usual uniform of a short dress and leggings for the weekend? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hot weds and thurs - upper/mid twenties. minor chance of a downpour, but probably not. Fri sat and sun cooler, but more manageable - high teens, low twenties. TL:DR - Bring suntan lotion and hats, leave wellies in the car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woffy Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Also: can someone explain to me why so much blind faith is put into the Countryfile forecast? Do they know something about meteorology no one else does? Is that the "Really Big Secret"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 1 hour ago, Superscally said: Where are Lost Horizons and Magic Hat? Am I right in thinking it was 20 quid for the weekend? Lost Horizons is up by the teepee field, next door to the Stone Circle. I only go there on Thursday. I pay £10 but I think a weekend pass is around the £20 mark as you said. Magic Hat I've never tried but I think it's in Green Fields on the path leading down towards Avalon. I think...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostypaw Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 It's traditionally the farmer's one, and used to be the best you could get Now we have the onlines and it tortures us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all farmer's bunkum based on the sky colour and bendy twigs and what direction the cows ran in when some idiot townie threw a banger at them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
