What have I missed? I think that you may have missed the fact that weather in prospect is much, much more all-consuming than weather in retrospect . That and we're just trying to find anything vaguely related to the festival to talk about. WTF is it going to be like this time next year?????

mcshed Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 If anyone is missing the thrills and spills of the weather thread in the fallow year you can get all your intense jet stream and Azores finger debate by going to see David Haig's excellent play Pressure which has finally made its way to the West End years after its Edinburgh premier. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2018/apr/21/james-stagg-d-day-weatherman--pressure-west-end It really is very good and genuinely seemed like the closest you'll get to The Weather Thread on stage.

In 2012 I think the consensus was that a bullet had been dodged. From what I can recall, there was loads of rain building up to it and some heavy rain over the weekend. Probably wrong, like but I found this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too hot, but warm and pretty dry. I think you're right about 2012, a right shocker. No idea about 2001 or 1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Mid June is definitely a bit more relaxing this year. Except maybe for the webmasters of the various forecasting sites who're wondering why their traffic is way down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, sun's out, no repeatedly checking forecasts and no panicking about weather and potential travel and weekend problems, last minute shopping & packing, or desperately trying to figure out how to handle the mother of all clashes. I don't care for it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 The true hero of the Weather Thread 2017 was the person who recommended cornflour as an anti-chafing agent. Whether or not anyone tried it is still a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Don't worry, Nal's just using the break to build up a proper head of steam for next year's prophecy... Edited June 13, 2018 by Quark spelling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 You'd definitely want something that dries rather than moisturises, though. Johnson's Baby Powder would be the usual non-floury choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were studies linking use of talc with cancer (it used to be contaminated with asbestos). Talc free powders contain cornstarch (zea mays), ie cornflour. When I was researching products for reducing odour from, ahem, intimate regions after strenuous badminton matches, I discovered 'Fairy Dust' and 'Dingo Dust'. Obviously women can only buy fairy-related products, or they'll just faint away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Keep sanguine, team. We've previously been sat here 10 days out, only to watch a bluebird long range forecast go all to bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
