Meh, that happened once cos it was right overhead. Normally, if they're in the distance everything is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, after three back to back dry festivals, I would have ripped your arm off for it. and really importantly a really dry build up - yes 1000000% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People get stuck on forecast symbols summing up a whole day. UKMO has a rain drop every day, but on Thurs and Fri that’s four hours of a 30% chance of light rain. If it just said ‘Warm and sunny with a low chance of a light shower in the pm’ (a la AccuWeather) everyone would be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they see the raindrops and the cloud and think it's gonna be like that all day from the moment they wake up to the moment they pass out in the SEC.

We will probably have one day of showers at 2-4am and another day of mid day showers. It wont affect the site, some people won't even realise its happened. Positive.

BBC showing a rain symbol for Saturday but what is actually forecast is 14% chance of rain for 1 hour over the whole day! 1 hour!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryclaireyfairy Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 I'm not sure who suggested it initially but I invested in a plant mister bottle. Great idea. (Don't worry, I'm getting waterproof spray later to balance things out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the fact that we're at any particular risk this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are we not talking about the possibility of it being cancelled? Come on, get real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
