Packing for a sunny one: bring some sunscreen and a hat. Not exactly the Krypton Factor

Yeah, respect the weather gods. I'm packing for snow forecast. And also heatwave. Sensible

Agreed. If your outfit changes significantly depending on the weather, you’re doing it wrong.

Agree with this. All I've ever needed in nearly 30 years is a Buffalo shirt. Hot, cold, wet, dry it does it all.

I’m tippping between setting up the sprinkler system for the garden and nipping to the shop for a new waterproof … which one wins out ?

Honestly the amount of people talking about packing for all eventualities really irritates me. Bring your clothes. Make a call last minute for wellies. Buy a poncho on site if it rains. 

 

Unfortunately packing for us starts this evening as we've a ferry to catch Monday morning... need to prepare for all eventualities

20 is plenty if the sun's out, it's 18c and sunny today up norf and it's really warm.

 

Those are great temperatures for traversing site.

Still some caution for me, even with the more favourable model runs over the last 12 hrs. Models generally don’t handle features that  develop from the continent, very well (like the one across SE England at the weekend in the 06z). Wouldn’t be suprised to see some flip flopping over the next few days with that so get ready for a bit of a roller coaster of emotions.

Lol What you on about? It's too late now they're past the cutoff for any more changes.

It's only loading the 06Z, so we're going to be stuck in suspense for a while.

I'm packing up camping gear and clothes today to load up the car tomorrow. Working Monday and have a ferry to get on Tuesday morning as well from Belfast to Liverpool. 

 

When you arriving on site? You going from Dublin or Rosslare? I did Dublin ferry in 2022 but was a really early start.

Not the best use of the word in this thread 🙂

[ibilly99]

I'm all weathered out now but packed and ready to go tommorow.  I may be able to give site  updates as and when. Barring a huge  black swan event we are way off worst case scenario and for that I thank the Rain Gods please continue to shine down on us with your gracious sun.

 

Amen

Wednesday is wet wet wet... Hope it doesn't stay another day.

I just realised I got my boy bands mixed up for a second... Not something to be ashamed of though so I'm leaving it 😛

So far it's a wet Wednesday and wet start to Thursday... Nothing crazily heavy, but pretty consistent from Weds afternoon onwards. 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Met office now reducing any rain chance to 5 -10 %, temps holding up as well.
