Where's our weather thread?

[Cooter]

Does God take cash in hand for a good job? If so I'll chip in a tenner for a scorching Glasto weekend.

[ukdaasfan]

He means you've got the same name as someone who bullied him and me once.

Anyway, can we get back on topic?

[Katster]

Yes... before desperation hits, I remember the example of Saturday...

BBC 5 day forecast (at the five day point) claimed it would be 29'C, clear skies, Sun Index of 6.

In the final analysis, I spent the day hiding from the rain, freezing my wotsits off.

There is hope...

[ukdaasfan]

Yesterday I read reports of no rain, nice and dry, not especially hot. I could live with that.

And now......... you go on about MONSOONS. Not drizzle, not light rain, no - MONSOONS.

What are you trying to do to me?

[Langdale Wolf]

A monsoon is a type of weather system... not a description of a type of weather.

The monsson is nothting new has been hapenning for 1000's od years.

Jsut now taht the atlantic is getting warmer the effects are more pronounced.

Good reply. Cheers. I feel better now.

Damn my ignorance.

Damn your spelling!!

[kohoutec]

Internet bullies come in all shapes and sizes, it's a shame that this nice forum hasn't escaped their clutches.

[halvin]

Yeah sorry.

My spelling is fine...

I just can't type for shit!

[hulk mike]

crikey, metchecks forcast has taken a tumble today! im pretty sure they just look at the weather now and assume it will be the same in the future

[William of Walworth]

It's nice out today and it looked rubbish this morning.

Therefore Glastonbury will be just fine.

[ollyrag]

The full-on meterologists, the real ones, are being quiet ... suspiciously quiet .....

[steveo]

Seams to be as accurate a way of forcasting as any.

At the moment, the total rainfall (in mm) from Wednesday to Sunday is something like 66mm

I heard that 2005 was 100 mm.

NOT HAPPY

Yet another update, this time from the Metoffice

UK Outlook for Sunday 17 Jun 2007 to Tuesday 26 Jun 2007:

Little sign yet of any prolonged settled weather yet and it is expected to continuing mostly unsettled with rain or showers interspersed with drier brighter interludes. Some spells of persistent, heavy and occasionally thundery rain are likely to affect many areas, especially but not exclusively over England and Wales. Areas in the north of Scotland and Northern Isles may avoid the heaviest rainfall and see the best of any dry weather. Windy at times with strong gusts near thundery showers. Temperatures mostly near normal but warm and humid at times especially later in southern UK when it may be very warm or even hot. Conversely cool at times in northern parts of Scotland and in areas with persistent cloud and rain.

Not too sure what to make of it, but I like the words 'very warm or even hot' ...

[Superfly1967]

Consult the Oracles, The Haruspices, The Augures, The Prophets, The Fortune Tellers, The Practitioners of Divination, The Astrologers, The Soothsayers and The Shamen!

Somebody must know what the weather will be like!

[Langdale Wolf]

So, to summarise, we're looking at a potential downpour with mainly dry weather, but feeling cool, very warm or even hot.

So glad these f**kwits are paid good money for their 'predictions'.

if the weather keeps up as it is today... i will be quite happy

[goaty]

this morning the bbc, metcheck and netweather said it would be pissing it down in london this afternoon. it is sunny.

i have lost faith in any weather prediction services after all this close scrutiny. all this "they are best at the medium term" stuff is toss, too. they can broadly say it will be warm in summer and cold in winter. that is it.

[davelucs]

still a wee bit of hope from what W.O.W says. lets pray sundays news is good

[kerplunk]

..we won't know for reliable(ish), til Sunday or so.

Could've told you that in April
