Where's our weather thread?

[sundaypapers]

And what do you think of that Sky forecast of dry/warm June that sundaypapers was talking about??

[Tenner Huey]

"Is there any scientific basis for my somewhat paranoid fear that we're using all the good weather up too early/peaking too early?"

no, none at all, and while I am going to remain typically non-commital, there does seem to be a decent chance of being a hot, and drier than average summer. The only problem with that is, it doesn't mean that we might not get the odd weekend of heavy rain....in terms of a decent forecast for Glastonbury weekend itself, I wouldn't listen to anything until maybe two weeks before it starts, and even then the forecast is likely to be changed a fair bit. Generally, five days in advance is when I would start to trust a region specific forecast. I shall, of course, post anything I hear in the meantime!!

See above, really; might be a bit of truth in it, but doesn't necessarily have any bearing on Glasto itself, unfortunately!

Thanks for this. Positive!!

Personally I'm a fan of 27C plus temps, but I'll sacrifice those for 5C cooler, IF we have NO RAIN, and plenty of SUN.

Yes thats right, ZERo rain.

Whatsoever.

At all.

No compromises.

Anyone wittering on about wanting 'a little shower' or 'a bit of rain' to 'cool things down' or 'damp down the dust' can get stuffed.

Wish for a 'shower' and you're more likely than not to get a mudbath.

It can be as hot sweaty and dusty as it likes rather than that.

Think you'll find it's spelt meteorologists

So when shall we rope in the net-weather folks again? We need Steve Murr (I think that was his name?) back on here like in '05!

Looks like GlastoFestivalForecast may have given up, or they're just waiting for something interesting to come along.

Perhaps it's time to rekindle the unholy alliance between the festival geeks and the weather geeks!

< push button >

oh so it is not related that the pollution from that many cars congregating onto one area cause the clouds to be heavier and burst open????

</ push button >

oh that was fun..I now know where WoW lives as I just saw him shoot 100ft straight in the air screaming

We should get ME to invest in some cloud seeding, to ensure it rains near, but not at Glastonbury

Yeah, I'm sure there were rumours when McCartney played that he was going to 'freeze' the clouds or something so it didn't rain during his set?

Did I dream that?

[fur_q]

Didn't the Russians use something like this during the communist days, to stop it raining when they had those parades to show off their bombs.

Every year I go to Glasto the weather's great. Apparently, it's to be unsettled for the rest of May which has gotta be a good sign!
