Justcalledtosay Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 The run up was much worse last year iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at a few weather threads to compare and he seems to pop up every year posting in the exact same format the most negative and doomsayer-y things possible about the weather. Genuinely thought it was quite a good bit if it's ironic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BambooShanks Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Usual caveat of anything over 7 days has under 50% confidence. This run resembles the last one and continues the trend of the high pressure on the continent dissipating allowing the low pressure to gain control and bringing a lot of the wet stuff on the way. Short term it isn't too bad. A couple of showers but with how dry the ground is, it's nothing too concerning but things start to go quite wet from the saturday before the festival onwards. Obviously at this far out a lot will change and after the scorchio run of yesterday, I was expecting a downgrade in conditions so I'm not worried at the moment. It wouldn't be a rollercoaster without a few dips along the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want everyone to enjoy the festival. Not just those who like certain weather. More people would prefer sun to rain by a conservative ratio of about 1000:1.

That as may be, I dont doubt that. but the post you replied to isnt me saying I want it to to rain. It's me saying I'd rather it be a temperature everyone can get comfirtable in, without rain. More people would prefer Coldplay to King Gizzard to a conservative ratio of 1000:1, but I'm part of the smaller ratio of that too.

frostypaw Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Semi-annual reminder as we head into the weather hysteria season that if you look at the pressure line (top) on the extended GFS ensembles you can see just how uncertain it is this far out. After many years of watching a lasting high break down just days before the festival only to turn nice the week after this current pattern doesn't worry me at all. Get it over with, get down the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duggyfresh44 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Last time I went was 2019. Up to the week before they were predicting heavy thunderstorms. Low temperatures. Anyone that went will remember it was one of the hottest festivals on record and it think we actually had the hottest festival day on the Saturday ever? That was too much tbh. But I was also there in 1997 and that was NOT pleasant so in between would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it did also rain a fair bit that year if I remember right? Definitely did during the Frightened Rabbit set on Other, I've got a pic of me in a soaked parka. Controversial opinion but I'd take rain over baking heat any day. 2019 and parts of last year seriously drained me. 1 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
