Jeel Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 1 hour ago, Losing my hair said: That forecast shows two raindrops -TWO! - 24 hours apart. I think we can cope with that. and it's worse now. That's my point. It has gone from 20/21 and sunny two days ago to 18/19 cloudy with showers.

You need to stop stressing, it's got time to change again - in fact it already has, only one raindrop now.? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 So maybe a shower of two on Saturday. Fine otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1234321 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Anybody else obsessively checking the met office forecast on the hour, every hour when it updates? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesiamaduck Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 And now rain is no longer forecasted at all, what an emotional rollercoaster https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635726 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesiamaduck Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Heres my summary based on the current forecast Rain today to make the ground nice n soft for when we put up our tents Guaranteed dry weather tomorrow, the most important day for dry weather, with low wind which is IDEAL for pitching tents Guaranteed dry weather on Friday. High spirits will not be dampened! The cloud cover at the end of the day will prevent the night from getting too cold which will allow ample silent disco or cider bus partying. But if it is too chilly it'll be perfect temperature for the newly introduced DJ sets at Big Top. Guaranteed dry weather on Saturday, but slightly cooler, this is a good thing as I suspect a few of us will be hungover and who wants to be too hot with a hangover? Not me bleurgh. Comfortable temp for the outside but also a nice temp to ensure the Tipi and Big Top dont get too warm. Conclusion: All stages viable, can still sit everywhere, and you can truly make choices on who you want to see and not have the weather dictate your day. Stages not too hot, no wind, no rain to ruin your good time. Slight chance of rain Sunday afternon/no rain on Sunday - Currently the met office predicts a 30% chance of rain on Sunday afternoon at around 13.00. This is FINE as we would all need a shower by this stage anyways, but if you chose to believe the BBCs forecast this wont happen at all. Same as Saturday otherwise Monday. Sunshine, clear skies. AH PERFECT. Nothing worse than leaving a festival in rain and the sunshine will encourage you out for your tent and leave you in good spirits for the final stretch home. It'll be cool enough so coaches arent a nightmare and thirst shouldn't be too much an issue. Conclusion: So far the weather seems very comfortable, which is the unsung hero of festivals, all this desire for PURE SUN and heat in the mid to high 20s often feels misguided. BRING IT ON Please note that rain was forecasted 2hrs prior to this post on both sites so is subject to change but once I write this I consider it gospel and you should as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psbros Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Looks largely dry, and a bit chilly at night, unless you’re dancing in the woods of course. Classic EOTR weather. Bring it on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweepingTheNation Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Met Office latest: light rain from lunchtime to evening Saturday, currently dry and sunny Sunday but that looks precarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1234321 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 It is about the time of year we'd all be getting a bit worried about the weather...it sounds ridiculous but I'm interested in seeing what the forecast will be for the festival weekend even though we won't be there. In my head if it rains all weekend then there is no chance of it being like that next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1234321 Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 I don't start getting excited until it starts showing on the BBC forecast, which will be towards the end of next week. I start getting obsessive when it starts showing up on the Met Office a few days later, as that's usually more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancers Stand Very Still Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 I'm as bad as the rest of you for checking these sites out of sheer excitement, but from a professional point of view it's all quite meaningless at this point. As with most of the fests I attend, I'll do a forecast just before for my own use and will share here too. Let's not let that stop the rumouring and sharing of obscure resources though as its all part of building that anticipation!! 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
