I can confirm it rained lots at 100% (both) of the Kendal's I attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Low Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Anybody else still thinking how unbelievably lucky we were with the weather this year the more they think about it? Yes it was hot, the infamous Saturday heat almost unbearable on times but what were the chances of a completely bone-dry weekend. Not a single drop of rain whatsoever. The more I look at it with these cancelled festivals and how awful the weather was in June in the lead-up (I was beginning to forget what the sun looked like for a moment) and how terrible it's been since after, the unpredictability of it all. Damn we were lucky and I'm so thankful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sogryp Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'm starting to get very excited about my second festival of the summer (the always excellent Shambala). Which means its time for me to start obsessing over the weather for it (I know it's not a year in advance as per Glasto but then there's less of a critical mass around it). What sites do you recommend? I tend to use netweather.tv but am keen to cast my net wider this year and the lack of a Shambala weather thread means I have to do my own research this time. Any suggestions? Thx and much appreciated in advance ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even was logged on at 3am on the Wednesday morning sitting in the car in the car park, and ironically at that moment it started raining! The week before was classic eFests. A real vintage. We rollercoastered through more or less every possible forecast before we experienced ‘no rain, too hot’. It’s such an unknown every year, isn’t it.

fightoffyour Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 This is August apparently, and people were complaining that Glastonbury was too hot?! Get a grip for fucks sake, we had the best festival weather in a lifetime probably. It’s never been and probably never will be too hot in England. Jesus. Wear a hat and buy a cold beer. Taps Aff and do your worst you bright yellow bastard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might take an encore before his usual winter hibernation on the sofa, or glued to the front of the wood burner. Well not literally. I don’t want the RSPCA involved, but so close he zaps all the heat before it gets into the room. Big dog’s predecessor, the ginger minger, actually fell asleep so near to a gas fire that she started to singe. We only noticed when we went to investigate where the ‘burning’ smell was coming from. The mutt was still fast asleep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
