@eFestivals is there anyway you can ban me from this thread for, say, a week? PLEASE?! I can’t stay away and it’s becoming an unhealthy obsession. One should not obsess over things out of ones control. ?

Five days really for any actual confidence. But even then.... 

Even then it's still next week before we will know with even the smallest amount of confidence. 

As you told  me recently, a lot can change in a week. This is just another dip on the rollercoaster. We'll be back to the dizzying highs in no time....

 

 

...I bloody hope so anyway

100%. Definitely. Without a doubt. IT'S ON

I was in a meeting between 1 - 5 today. A 4 hour meeting. 4 long hours.

If I can get through that, we can all get through this.

Pull yourselves together for God sake. This is only the beginning of the journey.

Not even a Jedi can predict a thunderstorm this far out. Relax ?

[Woffy]

A few minutes ago I watched the weather after Channel 4 news. 

I know it’s only for the next 2 or 3 days, but EVERY SINGLE bank of rain coming in from the south west kinda...split...in half and swerved around the festival site. 

Freaky.

Don’t believe me?

Go check it out online.

I have my alarm set to go off every two hours during the night so I can check each of the 8 weather sites I am monitoring and note the forecast in my spreadhseet

I’m listening to my weather related playlist on shuffle constantly. Even as I sleep

3mm rain over the entire festival? I’d take that 

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

If any one particular forecast is currently really bad then that’s great, because it means it can’t get much worse than that but could ultimately get a lot better.

A sort of under promise and over deliver type scenario.

Bit of rain in the run up but accuweather is at the extreme end of amount of rain it predicts compared to how much actually falls on site, least so far anyways

[Lizzim]

For reasons to complex to go into I have to do my packing this weekend.   I have no idea what to pack at this moment,   My next week is going to be nomadic so i will probably have to pack my entire wardrobe into the boot of the car and make the last minute changes nearer the time.    Does remind me of 2010 though ....

Yeah but this time in two weeks time it will be bloody awesome because ....THE BLOODY FESTIVAL WILL BE ON

 

Good isn't it

[xandercs12]

Accuweather is just like Apple weather. The rain symbol tricks you into thinking it’s gonna rain loads, when in reality,there’s hardly any.

Love that the url has heatwave in it for SEO but the Met Office says nothing of the sort.

Can we rename this ‘The Weather Threat 2019’
