The Weather Thread 2023

[clarkete]

This thread discussing a potential forecast of light rain... 

[NotAnInsider]

The GFS tends to really struggle with the type of pattern we have at the moment. It always tends to show it breaking down in the medium term whereas the ECMWF and Met Office models have handled it quite a bit better.

Personally going to wait until they're both in range.

7.1 mm, so less than a single cm... If that's the worst we have to worry about, bring it on... 

[chazwwe]

The past 24 hours of this thread have been historic. People complaining about 20-25 degrees. People saying '30 degrees is perfect' people going overboard on 2 or 3 predictions 2 weeks out because of <1cm of rain across 5 days.

 

Well done everyone.

Heading for a vintage year of the Weather thread.

12Z is a little better on the rain front, but big old Grotbags needs to do one.

The festival will definitely be cancelled if that’s still there this time next week. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's only halfway down the colour key. Pink and purples are the colours you really don't want.

[stopwn1981]

It’s the size of the America’s 

[chazwwe]

I feel like everyone is now the Nal and there's no normal conversation. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

And the high beneath it is the size of Europe

Churnups must have been a reference to the state of the ground

Yes, he must be well pissed off at all the wannabe @The Nal  Eveyone take note, he is the one and only, no one can create fear and terror like he does.

It’s been a good run of festivals weather wise so was bound to break at some point. Plus the current heatwave was bound to crash back to reality as well. 
 

Time to waterproof my electrics in my hat.

We aren't done yet!  It will be dry and sunny every day, don't be dragged to the dark side..

I'm not even going this year but am on tenderhooks visiting this page on an hourly basis. 

The jeopardy of the weather is now too much for me with Glastonbury. The build up for me is one long period of mania, evidenced by me on this forum when I'm not even going. Bonkers.

I washed my rain jackets today ... Not sure if I should take the fleece part that zipps out of my jacket 🤔

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Gonna pack my wellies, put my phone in a Tesco bag, and buy a second tent in case my first one gets washed away now.

Mixed bag. TOO EARLY.

Just once I'd like to do without the roller coaster and have plain sailing for the whole month of June.

That's seven centimetres nearly three inches.
