Where's our weather thread?

[William of Walworth]

I'm fairly sure that Angwin forecast hasn't been updated for quite a few days, nearly sure I've read it before.

Richard is really covering himself in glory there.

funny watching this thread as i have done, obsessively, the last couple of fests.

All websites got everything wrong in 2005.

The friday am downpour was only predicted on the thursday morning and not to that extreme.

I watched the beeb this morning and it wasn't even reporting the present weather accurately let alone predicting it correctly.

Anything can happen although we are due a good one.

“Becoming warmer again”

The Azores high looks set to build again extending a ridge of high pressure across the UK. Temperatures are expected to be on the warm side especially in northern parts.

Rainfall amounts will probably be around the seasonal average, although it could be slightly drier than normal in the southeast. Average amounts of sunshine are expected.

[Cooter]

Don't forget folks that the festy is deep in a lovely warm womb-like valley of moist lush velvetness and its always at least 5C warmer than up on them hills. Honestly tho I've noticed this in the past, just from leaving the CV fields and getting into the site on a daily basis. A chillyish 16 can become a very warm 21 within a couple of hundred yards whether its sunny or not.

Just don't let it rain pleeeeeeeeeeeeeze. I hate mud at festivals, its not right!

I know its a bit OT but I love this blokes names, hopefully he doesnt live up to it http://ukie.accuweather.com/ukie/bastardi-...ner=accuweather

[stevieweevil]

not an expert, but it looks as though this warm settled weather is going to peak this weekend and then end with thunderstorms, unsettled conditions by monday or tuesday next week.

could this be a good thing? will things pick up again?

[paddydog]

The Synoptic chart for the 21st June, shows a continuation of the likely unsettled theme we have seen recently, however if we look towards the 22nd chart there are definite signs of a ridge of High pressure from the Azores.

Again looking to the GEFS, the charts both show an increased chance of High Pressure compared to yesterday's charts, and the average high pressure is much higher than yesterday showed. However even with this, some charts are still going for an unsetttled period with some heavy rain likely.

Accuweather for Pilton now includes Wednesday 20th.

Rain on Tuesday, 'windy with sunny intervals' on Wednesday. Top temps Tues and Weds 20C.

Could go either way ...

[Tenner Huey]

Accuweather are quite obviously correct, aren't they? I mean... they've got Accu in their name. That's way better than just "check".

ag. am in the throes of a full on weather panic. will someone please reassure me that i will have a great time no matter what??

in my more rational moments i agree wholeheartedly with those who say that there is no way they can predict the weather at this stage. 2 days ago every forecast was showing london as clear blue skies and 24c. instead it's completely cloudy and about 19c.

i'm also having a bbq on 16th and metcheck reckons it's gonna piss it down. *sigh*

[Tenner Huey]

Not even saying this to make you feel better - you're right, no one can predict it with any great degree of accuracy yet. I'll be mildly interested about five days beforehand, but I'll be going by whatever info I can get right before I leave work on the Tuesday night. Which I will of course post here.

“Becoming warmer again”

[Tenner Huey]

yeah shouldn't be a prob WoW

[stevieweevil]

Can you do anything latesish Monday (18th), as well? Surely matters will be clear enough by then. I'll be offline from Tueday morning until after Glastonbury ... Cheers

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

just taken the dog for a walk and it feels more like mid autumn than the start of summer, could even see my breath! cmon sun, you don't have long to get yourself sorted!

[William of Walworth]

The CURRENT synoptic chart (inside the back page of today's Guardian) doesn't look good. Phat and slow moving Low Pressure just to the West of Spain Portugal, which could very essily come in the UK's direction in the next few days (please not), with not much sign yet of any big High Pressure building to the SW of us .... there's currently a big High Pressure (which will 'slowly decline') to the North of Ireland. Not a good position!

Oh cheers for that Monday 18th promise Tenner! I may come to curse you for it though ...
