The Weather Thread 2022

[Pinhead]

Weather is so localised these days it seems - it can be raining in Pilton but not on site! Waiting for Countryfile forecast - just enough time to change packing strategy to compensate.

Rain + rail strikes = 9 hr queue to enter car parks. Maybe

I'm going to say it now, There won't be any serious amount of rain. Positive thinking all the way.

ELO looked and sounded abysmal. 

16 was great fun. Trick is to hit the booze after breakfast and keep moving. Looked at it again recently and think I saw close to 30 acts in 2016 all in. Barely rained during the day which is fine.

2016 is possibly one of my favourite festivals. It was so fucked you just had to power through.

That last point is crucial - 2014 was miserable because you had to stand watching acts in the rain. Miserable.

2016 was my first time and I loved ELO. I remember the Wed night in the silent disco, the journey, booze etc catching up. My pals gave me directions on how to find the camp. I headed off. Still to this day, I am amazed, straight to my tent, no getting lost. I must have been a pigeon in a previous life.

Does the festival plan the builds around potential storms ?

Ok, I'm saying it now...there will be rain and some of it might be heavy man.

[a6l6e6x]

I am concerned 

[theciderviking]

There will be weather, and I will be dancing, drinking and partying whatever variety it happens to be. Living my best life! 🕺🏻 🍻 🥳

For what it's worth latest GFS charts go up to midday on the Thursday and actually looks ok to me, dry, not hot, hopefully not muddy. But...they call it FI on netweather forum, which I think means fantasy island?

[waynewdk]

I don’t mind if it states rain or a storm on the exact dates, as you know this is going to move, it’s when it states it before or after, and it moves

25 posts per page so just less than 3 pages. 
 

I’m not that far behind and this is post 69 in this topic. 

[sedra]

Ok let’s keep optimistic- we don’t want it 2019 too hot but we don’t want it 2007 rain or 2016 mud. 2017 weather would be perfectly acceptable as would any other year apart from 1997, 1998, 2005, 2011 as well 😀👍
