The GFS did predict the 40 degrees two weeks out last summer though!

Well...yeah. But we had no idea if it was right. It's like when someone predicts the headliners. Enough guesses and someone will be right.

 

Yes, I know it's not so simple and that with the right conditions, if there's no breakdown coming then you can predict that low/high pressure is going to continue better than you can predict when it's going to rain if there's a changeover from high/low coming, but bloody hell, the festival is in the UK nestling between weather systems, it's almost always a KNIFE. EDGE. 😂

Beeb now saying the nasty stuff (low pressure) is hitting from the Saturday before the festival and continues throughout.

Its all gone to sh*t.

Nobody should ever ever use the BBC weather. Its a pile of shite they just make up. 

Stick with Met office or Accuweather for normal forecasts 😄

Show meeeeee

I'll leave the full explanations and pictures to the resident weather team, but basically it's dry all the way through up to Saturday midday (as far as the gfs goes up to currently). Tiny bit of very light rain thursday early evening is all.

Yay! 

I would ask where to go to look myself but inevitably i wont understand what i'm looking at anyway! Best to wait for efest analysis

This is the worst of the weather on the thursday

Saturday looks great so far

Temps are looking to be around 22c most days, so pretty much ideal.

 

Not a fan of the blob of low pressure hanging around and potentially soaking us on sunday but it's still early days.

Hopefully the improvement will be sustained!

    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9
