Game over

Yeah, game over.

Saturday 25th June is tomorrow so there's definitely no chance of it changing.

You and @FuzzyDunlop have your wish for cold weather. 
 

Everyone else. I’ve found a handy video to help us craft our pitchforks. Brb I’m off looking for a suitable branch.

Where were we this time in 2019, that's what everyone wants to know...?

[steviewevie]

actually is it not the edge or whatever you call it between a high and low that is where you often get the rain? So right in the middle of the low might actually be dry, just cold and maybe cloudy?...problem is these lows are often smaller than highs...so isobars closer together, more windy, more unstable. Or maybe I don't know what I'm on about.

I mean, you go on about this quite a lot...yesterday the forecasts were mostly 18 and dry and all was good...

I reaaaally wish I was like my wife who has the 'what will be will be' attitude and has no interest in thread's like these.

Unfortunately, I am a slave to this and must therefore put up with the nonsense spouted within it.

yeah, same here. She keeps saying no point looking till Tuesday, and even then you're not going to know what it will be like by the weekend. She just doesn't understand.

the operational is spiking on 25th/26th on that one...that's saturday/sunday....?

The line for the 25th is actually midnight Friday, so on the operational run the rain starts Friday night and runs through the early hours of Saturday.

[chazwwe]

This made me laugh.

[JoeyT]

From the Thurs before the festival in 2019:

There was rain being shown on the GFS runs for Sat & Sunday by the looks of things.

Keep the faith folks!

[PolygonWindow]

Not aboard the rain train yet.

Still think no one has a clue.

ok yeah...and looking at latest GFS maybe that makes sense...it actually has rain starting friday afternoon and getting heavier over night.

Good thing the thread was started in January

[Ayrshire Chris]

I see forecasts have changed for this weekend, yesterday they were predicting apocalyptic downpours for the area, now changed to light showers, dry on Monday. This includes the met office, the forecast I trust the most. Whereas where I live it’s now to piss down.

Interesting that we knew that it would be well hot this far out.

 

This year it's looking a bit crap so doesn't bode that well

[BambooShanks]

Just remember, a few days ago over 20mm of rain looked nailed on for saturday and that's all but disappeared.

All that's needed is a little bit of high pressure to push the worst of the lows (and the accompanying rain and cold)  away and we're back to dry weather with reasonable temps.

Still all to play for etc

[JoeyT]

It's when people started being picky about how hot they wanted it everything went tits up.

I'll settle for a level of heat nothing short of them having to get the fire brigade in to hose people down and opening the JP tent early just so there's some extra shade.

They don't. No one knows who will win the low vs. high battle!

Nah, it's the people who started claiming we were locked in for nice weather last night. They are the real culprits. Within hours the weather gods had their revenge.

Given this - whats the point in checking every single run this far out? 😄
