Single runs of a forecasting model (a kind of computer simulation) are what most are sharing in here. A single run of model is not, in any way, a forecast! In fact, regardless of the number of runs, a single model in itself is not used to make a forecast, the best forecasts are made by looking at data from multiple runs of multiple models.

Glorious sun, gentle breeze and space to sit down and relax if needed. Now we're looking at endless showers without warning, lethargically traipsing around the paths like cattle because everywhere else it too muddy, nowhere to sit down when you're eating, 5 days of back pain, rain splashing into your pint, reversing into your freezing cold tent at night on your arse in the pitch black while battling to take your wellies off trying to minimise how much mud you get in your tent as the other half is giving out, huge queues for water and showers, dead atmospheres at gigs, people leaving early, dropping your phone in the mud, taking twice as long to walk between stages and sweating like boil in the bag rice in your rain mac while all the while pretending to enjoy yourself. This has to be the only reason anyone ever checks this thread, no?

ModernMan Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Tbh 17 degrees with bits of sun would actually be quite nice. Being able to sit down is the most important thing and the ground looks like it’ll be dry/not2016. Can’t wait! if you’re worried about the weather, then you picked the wrong place to stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
