The Weather Thread 2022

[tazbang]

Trust the ensembles. All that blue kicking around on the 06z GFS operational run amounts to minimal actual precipitation, and almost none of the ensemble runs predict any significant rain during the festival.

Temperature wise there is more variation, with the operational run being on the high side Wed/Thu and low side Sat/Sun. Not much indication of it being a scorcher.

It might not be glorious hot weather, but I am willing to bet my wellies won't make it out the car.

This is why I want it dry. It needs to be good for everyone.

There is no chance in hell Im am handing 5 days of today's weather. Let alone any hotter. I struggled on the 15 mins I was outside on my dinner.

You know what would be more chaotic than a weather thread ? - a weather WhatsApp group 😂

Metoffice still looking decent..

If I’m being super positive this could end up like 2008 (wet Friday, dry by Saturday pm) or even 1999 (rain forecast every day, got some drizzle and clouds but not much else).

Only another 90 mins until the next GFS run. 

Happy days 😭

So...today is supposed to be 23 in Manchester...with that latest GFS supposed to get to max 21/22 on Wed/Thu...after that doesn't get above 18.

Apart from longer spells of rain spreading from the north in the ‘middle of the period’ (Friday and Saturday).

mud would be no good for my mobility, id be terrified of falling on my arse and not being able to get back up. will also make handling a mobility scooter a bit tricky.

Waterproofs back on the packing list.

I hope it isnt muddy, for you and anyone else with any sort of mobility issue.

They were talking about coping in hot weather on radio this morning and one tip was immersing hands in cold water for about 10 minutes...can bring your core temperature right down...

Get your wrists immersed in cold water or put ice on your wrists. Or grasp hold of an ice cold pint

Net Weather just released update 2 - still all to play for, still firmly in the "If" territory.

"If the high pressure moves in more through next week there will be more fine, settled weather, fewer showers and it won’t feel as cool after dark at the weekend. However, if the low pressure remains more dominant, the weather will stay a bit more unsettled."

Come on Jo... Voice of reason...

I do that. Try finding that on the farm when you are trying to watch an act.

[steviewevie]

Anyway...at moment heat isn't the problem...but the way these forecasts can change dramatically depending on the High vs Low battle going on next week it way well be.

That netweather forecast is turd polishing.

[Cooter]

I'd take any temps between 18 and 25 at the festival. Even if its not sunny you can add a couple of degrees to those and if it is sunny, add 5 or 6. Shade temps too.

Anything above 25 and it all becomes a bit like a simmering volcano. 

[The Nal]

The people at Netweather are a tribe of psychopathic canniabals. This has been well established.

 

Low pressure taking the piss out of high pressure.

If sunny then can be cooler than 18 I reckon, especially if not windy...like 15 or 16 is ok. If cloudy you probably want it between 18 and 20. I am willing to accept low 20s and cloudy at this late stage. Cloudy at night is ok too..keeps the temperature up a bit..and definitely want it cloudy in the early morning, the darker the better.
