Could be this though!

 

Ahhhhhhh......

[The Red Telephone]

BBC still have the best symbols though

[andymk]

on a positive note, the Operational run is a massive outlier as far as rain on Wednesday goes, with only the Control run showing a high amount of rain

[Sheffield Steve]

The 12z U.K. Met has showers around on Wednesday but reserves the worst of the rain for overnight Wednesday/ Thursday… some more lightish showers for Thursday/Friday but a definite upgrade…

Good comparison on where models are here: https://x.com/peacockreports/status/1804193851449422299?s=46&t=OD2g_A8MExyBtWvnPpmuEA

Excuse my barely there weather knowledge apart from getting hopelessly into the charts ahead of glasto each year but the GEM chart (no idea if this is regarded solid or not for the UK?) is showing really nice weather in their 12z today!

 

Here for the hopeless positivity 😅

Met Office refuse to budge on their predictions.

They are never in any rush to update. Will change in the morning

surely the ground is in much better state than 2016, The Wednesday rain can't be that damaging

"Then on Wednesday, it looks like we'll see a thundery breakdown, but in weather terms this is still a long way off, so we'll have to keep you posted on that."

 

Sky weather!!

[clasher]

Packed my gaiters today.

 

 

 

 

It's gonna be 21, overcast with a light breeze all 5 days.

It would be a month's rain in a morning, so it absolutely would IF it came to pass.

[Respectfatfrog]

Is there a point anyone would consider not going based on the weather?

This is what we had at Bearded on the Wed. Average monthly for May - 66mm. 30 hours later overnight Wed through to 7am Thurs was 70+mm! More scrappy doo than scooby doo there.

It updated arpound 80 minutes ago - taking off any showers it had before this.

Yeah they usually way behind on the latest runs though like accuweather. That update will be from runs earlier. 

 

That's what I've noticed over the years

Haven't the runs been a bit rubbish for a few days now?

Yep, been pretty sh*t since Wednesday. 

 

Met Office haven't changed at all.

Welcome optimist troll - I like the cut of your gib !

[Pinhead]

Yeah look it's 4 days out. I think it's a given it's not going to be rain free but its all about the timing - for me it's around Wed getting in - queuing for 8 hours then pitching is a shite way to start.
