Failing that, it should easily make it into the top 10 hall of shame" Urghh... taken from the same thread... So I think besides those opening two days the first half of June looks pretty lacklustre but heatwaves can pop up at very short notice at this time of the year so there is still no way we can write off summer yet and compare it to 2007 or 2012. A fair few of the Junes in the 1990s were stinkers but delivered some good heat later (e.g. 1990 and 1997) so no need to panic at this point.

cb4747 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Weather forecasts are a tricky one. we were forecast constant rain from 10am this morning until tomorrow evening. It’s only rained for about an hour so far, stopped now and cloudy but no rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Leach Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Metcheck are firmly in the pocket of Big Welly. Everyone knows this. Until they begin forecasting good weather, then we will have always been at war with Eurasia. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell lets be honest anything over a 4 ish days is a complete guess. Oh hai, thread. Read an article the other day that suggested a 7 day forecast has a 50% chance of being accurate and 5 day forecast has an 80% chance.

duke88 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I actually feel better about it all after today. The promised downpour failed to materialise. Today was meant to be the worst day. If this is as bad as it gets, we're laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryclaireyfairy Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Forecast said no rain until later this evening so I popped to the shop in sandals, cropped trous and cardy. About one minute into my 'pop' the sky opened and it shat it down on me. It's at least the 4th time that's happened to me in recent weeks. Conclusion is that forecasts are nonsense and I'm not taking my sandals to Glasto cos they seem to be a Jonah.

mpdow2 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Met Office make me laugh. "We have no fuken idea" Wednesday 12 Jun - Friday 21 Jun Wednesday is likely to be windy and rather chilly for the time of year. Rain in the south may spread further north during the day, with showers following behind from the south. Thursday and Friday could well be rather unsettled too, with the wettest weather in the east of the UK. Temperatures will remain a little below average. Next weekend will probably be on the wet and windy side in the south and east, but with more chance of dry and bright weather in the north and west. Into the following week, further showers or longer spells of rain are likely at times. However, there will be more in the way of dry spells too. Temperatures will perhaps recover to average temperatures for June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
