The Weather Thread 2022

[sedra]

It’s that time I think to get this thread started- it’s a blue sky sunny day here in the South West and I am feeling optimistic. 
Our friends in the north obviously not so much what with  having a great stormy time this weekend. 
But nevertheless let’s kick off 2022 with the traditional roller coaster of a thread - I give you 

The Weather Thread 2022! 😀

[Avalon_Fields]

There's going to be a little bit of rain on the Wednesday morning, but other than that plenty of sun, temperatures quite cool for June though.

Guaranteed.

You heard it on here first.

[sedra]

Will take that prediction- obviously not the rain whilst setting up tent though.

The Somerset levels haven't flooded yet this year ... which is fairly rare in my memory

Yup, warm and dry in 2020, light showers on sat/sun in 2021.

[Matt42]

2021 wasn’t great was it?

[Smeble]

Due a wet one surely, wasn’t 2016 the last wet one? Even the fallow and cancelled years were predominantly dry, although I’d moved from the area before last year so I can’t vouch for that one.

even if it is a wet one everyone will be so happy to be there who cares what the weather is doing.

I’m not sure the due a wet one works though … it’s not relevant what we had previously . Clean slate for 2022 that’s how weather works isn’t it ?

Yes a clean slate is absolutely how the weather works, although weather forecasting does use predicted trends, but to my ultra pessimistic mind if i expect mud I can only be pleasantly surprised when it’s not.😁

Also 66% of the Glastonbury’s I’ve attended have been complete mudfests and having lived locally to the festival I know what Somerset in summer can be like.

The jar, well and sticky stick are all at attention. However, sadly Big Dog is playing over the rainbow bridge now 🖤. So this year there will be a substitution. All to be revealed at a later date.

[Hugh Jass]

The long range Phil Jones-Ometer is showing cautious optimism…

 

[vintagelaureate]

Sorry @deebeedoobee - put my foot in it there! Big Dog will be missed by eFests! x

Actually shed a tear there. 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Despite pulling massive sulks every morning as the raindrops batter the tent, in hindsight, my best times have always been when it's been wet and/or muddy. Strange. Maybe it's the galvanizing we're-all-in-this-together effect it seems to have. That said, give me 2019 weather all day long. Terrific stuff. 

Although, I'm sure I speak for all ticketless, that the weather is the least of our challenges right now. If I'm contributing to this thread in April, May and June, I'll be happy, come rain or shine.

Spring ground and lime kiln looked decent today, if a bit Misty
