The Weather Thread 2022

[Pinhead]

Just wait for the Countryfile forecast Sunday. The BBC know that peeps (and oftwn farmers) use this as a guide for the festival week and are invested in making an effort for accuracy given their involvement with the festival. It is basically the successor of the Farming Weekly forecast they used to do many years ago.

They don't go beyond Friday, and even then it's cursory.

It's a myth that Countryfile gives the weather for the festival.

I'll take an effort leading up to Friday and they have often mentioned and specifically covered the festival weather in their report.

They may mention the word, but Countryfile only does 5 days ahead.

And even that's wildy inaccurate past Wednesday 

They've never got the full 5 days right. Ever. 

[Pinhead]

5 days is better than just tomorrow and maybe the day after. In some cases however in past years they have been drawn to making a specific side predition for the festival.

BBC currently has 17 degree highs and 10 degree lows over the festival. Doesn't look too bad rain wise but can't have been many cooler festivals than that? It is late June after all

[The Nal]

YR have updated!! 

Rain everyday and into Saturday afternoon now. 

An absolute disaster

Regardless, I can confirm we won't be waiting for Countryfile in 72 hours.

We've got another 16 runs to go! 🤣

(You can also watch the Countryfile week ahead forecast on Sunday morning on the BBC website)

a couple of degrees higher would be nice! If there is wind it could be chilly even in the daytime

[Pinhead]

Whay I would level against the BBC is their move to Meteogroup from the Met...

They are just showing 11mm on Saturday when everyone is already reducing that drastically. Weird.

I'll give the Sunday broadcast (which is the one I mean) a look deffo and plan accordingly from that. The closer the forecast the better the accuracy surely. Tho I concede naturally that anytimg over 24-48 hours is a challenge for any forecaster in terms of accuracy.

Not even that. It's recorded in the morning.

Gonna be fine - few ciders, music, decent crew, pingers and all will be nice up! - but i'm still hooked on the weather outcome. Dry, gotta be dry as much as poss.

Fuck it. Wellies are going in the van.

I’m going to gamble they won’t be needed Tuesday. Viva La high pressure etc.

Same! Grudgingly stuck the fuckers in a black bag and they’re going in the back of the car. Hopefully not to be seen until I unpack a week later!

So what are the other models saying ?
