juliadevitt Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 I've just read this: OUTLOOK: Friday we could see some light rain clearing later as High Pressure builds into the weekend. Saturday & Sunday: With High Pressure building, winds will be lighter and good sunny spells developing. Temperatures will increase across all areas between 19 degrees to 22 degrees. The weekend outlook is subject to change but at present the likelihood is for drier and slightly warmer weather to return. sounds alright to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 YR updated showing no rain now. Glorious weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1234321 Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 It'll change about fifty times before the weekend I wish I could be one of those people who doesn't check, who just wakes up and deals with it...but I'm not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliadevitt Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 just packing: t shirts, shorts, trousers, water proof trousers, fleeces, rain coat, wellies, sandles - pretty much every eventuality covered. Loved Sunday last year, despite pissing down all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwa Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Currently hammering it down in mid-Wiltshire. Let's hope this is it for the week, not least because I've a wedding to attend tomorrow, sober up Tuesday, pack on Wednesday, start again on Thursday.

SweepingTheNation Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) BBC weather currently says dry all weekend, temperatures 19-21 C, Met Office (which has a location at Larmer Tree Gardens) says 17-19 Thursday to Saturday with the long-range talking about any weekend rain being confined to the north, but from recent experience it's not worth really trusting anything until the day before at the earliest.

snipe Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 I've done the last 2 and they've both been teeth shattering cold at night ripping through any modest attempt at layers no matter how warm the day was. Is that always the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Interesting Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 The weather looks lovely but if you use the BBC website/app they now only update it twice a day (10.30 ish and 20.00 ish) so if anything alters I suggest the Met Office site which updates every hour, and is getting very accurate too predicting exactly what we got at Watchet this weekend so we we ready fr it.

Is that always the case? You need to go equipped with beach wear for the day and polar exploration kit for 8.00 pm onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psbros Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 It’s looking v v good, but all comments about the cold nights are bang on. The biggest contrast is if you leave secret set in Tipi at 2am then stand around getting a drunken snack somewhere .. baltic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
