WEATHER 2009 !

Monday 15 June 2009 to Sunday 28 June 2009

“Warming up.”

High pressure stays with us for most of this period and should extend its influence across much of the UK resulting in mostly dry and often very sunny conditions.

Temperatures should recover from mid to late June onwards so it will feel more like summer again with some very warm days likely, particularly in the south.

Rainfall amounts could be very scanty in many areas although there is always the potential for some thundery outbreaks towards the south-east giving localised downpours.

It's going to be one humdinger of a hot mother f**ker.

And you can quote me on that.

[RevKev]

I really hope so!

[William of Walworth]

loving the forecast hit, its like a hit to an addict.

[mouth]

the bbc one has put a smile on my face too, not that im doubting how fine it will be

[amfy]

I have just realised that i am actually checking this thread at least 3 times a day in the hope that the difinitive sunny forecast will be in here.

It's like I think that at some point I am going to ba able to click out of here sighing with relief that it is definitely NOT going to rain.

from the 8th of June there will be a daily update to the forecast over on netweather. The signs so far look reasonable though

[William of Walworth]

Well I'm just back from Sunrise Celebration near Bruton/Frome, site a mere 18 miles from Pilton.

It was wall to wall warm sunshine there, no rain whatsoever Thursday to Monday, top temps around 24C.

Perfect festival weather!!

We can only hope that's a premonition of much more of the same, even warmer, to come in late June. General Netweather Forum chat predicts a cooldown from current loveliness by tomorrow or Thursday for a while. Getting cooler/possibly wetter weather out of the way, early to mid June?

It's all about the HOPE folks!!

"UK 17 to 30 day weather outlook"

and

Weather Online's "Month Ahead"

*20/06 - 26/06*

High pressure looks set to be on the decline slowly slipping to the west, this coupled with falling pressure to the east and northeast looks set to push cooler and showery conditions through all areas from the north or northeast, so perhaps an abrupt change?

Showers will be quite widespread and potentially heavy at times a stiff-ish breeze making eastern coastal areas cool and cloudy for a time, western areas should be drier and sunnier with just scattered showers. these dying away through the middle of the week, replaced by a freshening south-westerly breeze and cloudier conditions with outbreaks of patch rain from time to time.

Southern Britain should become warmer as winds fall light, an area of high pressure slipping slowly south across England and Wales.

*27/06 - 03/07*

Temperatures should be on the rise here, and this could well be the optimum time for summer 2009, an area of high pressure settling over the UK and all areas could be in line for some pleasant summery weather.

It'll be very warm to locally hot in places, scattered thundery showers may be the only fly in the ointment spoiling the predominantly fine weather as the humidity level begins to increase.

There are good signs that a slippage back to low pressure will be underway by the end of the period, a breakdown to widespread thundery weather occurring before the end of the week.

Its reminding me of the forecast that was given for a few mid decade Glasto's.

With a late June festival this year we have a better chance of drier weather. Consulting my crystal, I reckon it will be:

Sunny intervals Wednesday arrival, cold and clear PM and night,

Dull Thursday AM, showery Thursday PM, clear but damp overnight

Clearing and warming up Friday AM / PM with sunny intervals, clear night,

Saturday AM bright all day, hot and dry, but clouding over late PM, warm but overcast night,

Sunday AM full sunshine, dull again PM, showers overnight to Monday AM.

There - you've been told.

Heh, the rain is just in there for dust reduction purposes . . .

[Mardy]

after the grind that was 2007, when it started raining on the thursday evening last year, I was o depressed, and this close *gestures* to packing up and f**king off.

No mud, no rain, no compromise.

[mr cambo]

I'm coming this year, but I've only been once before... in 2002 (with Mrs Cambo)

That year the weather was great.

Now, if it's good this year then I'll feel like I'm a lucky charm, so I'll expect you all to chip in to pay for my ticket on 2010.

If not, then you might want to invite my Mrs next year!

Me too. When it started during Vampire Weekend on the Friday, i had a massive sulk, and went back to my tent for a sleep. That helped actually.

[marktea]

That's strange, because as soon as I heard Vampire Weekend, I had a massive sulk, and went back to the cider bus to get drunk. That helped actually.

Good Lord.

Hehe, I did something similar last year when it pissed down Thursday (?) night, got really grumpy and convinced myself we were in for another horrible muddy year. Soon perked up on Friday though
