Flounder Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I tend to think the forecast for the nearest significant town is the best bet-- gives more detail. Metcheck forecast for Blandford Forum Not looking great at all right now I fear, BUT Metcheck have several times over this summer overcooked rainfall totals and undercooked temperatures (the latter they consistently do). So all is not lost yet -- check for updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William of Walworth Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 They've all been consistent in their incorrect forecasts so far - just done where I am now - it's stair-rodding it down here- on there they say light showers. Hope your party is a dry one mate:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William of Walworth Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 That rainfall forecast (as currently updated) for Blandford this weekend is X-rated, for Saturday , but I have little doubt at all that you'll get less than 25 mm In fact I'd put money on it that any downpours will be less extreme ...

Flounder Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I've not been onsite as yet ( trying to get down there now!!) but am informed that despite the rain all is fine- as soon as it stops it's all drained through the chalk with no problems, Whatever happens, we can't control the weather! - Aparently theres a high out to sea which is coming inland at the weekend??? Two days ago they said it would be chucking it down here - has yet to rain today - theres no predicting the bugger!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogsaway Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Can anyone provide any feedback on how conditions might be if it's a wet one. First Endorse It & I've got three mud adverse women with me, who are already cranking up the air raid early warning whining. If it's going to be bad I may have to spend the weekend in the Silent Disco............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 the ground drains extremely well, as it's chalk under the soil. It won't be a mudfest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamamole Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I've given up worrying about it - there seems to be a completely different forecast on every website, and the BBC seem to be different again. So long as the bands keep playing and the beer doesn't run out it'll be a great weekend whatever the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic42 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I just spoke to friend on site who says, even with all the rain the site has drained well and is not muddy at all, even with build traffic there. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William of Walworth Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Don't want to tempt fate but BBC website currently says it's cloud and rain today in Bournemouth. In reality it's very warm, sunny with not a cloud in sight. They really have no idea. Fingers crossed!! Cheers, Potts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
