UK Outlook for Friday 19 Jun 2009 to Sunday 28 Jun 2009:

The weekend is expected to be unsettled across the North with a good deal of cloud and outbreaks of rain or showers. The showers may extend a little further south into central parts but will be lighter and fewer. The South likely to remain dry with variable cloud. Into the week sees the weather becoming generally dry and settled across all areas. The wind, mostly from the Northwest, brisk at times in the North will keep the temperatures near normal. Further south is expected to be a little above normal and may even be warm in places. The dry, settled weather is expected to continue through the remainder of the period in the South, with the North returning to more changeable weather.

Countryfile forecast has it showery at beginning of this week with the odd thunderstorm...big rain band coming over Tues/Weds then drier Thursday and a big high pushing in from the South on Friday....too early to say for next week on this basis..but no mention yet of anything sinister...

next weeks forecast will be the one to watch

Evening All-

just an Early update on the run in to 2009 festival......

The current weather patterns are 'generally' seeing Small high Pressure Cells developing away to the East & far South East of the UK- as a result we are constanstly 'flirting' with the warmer in over continent,this week being a typical example, & a repetative pattern looks like developing through the start & middle part of next week-

This type of pattern becomes more prominent in Summer Months, as the warmer air in Europe extends further North- ( generally)

Interestingly though there seems to be a growing trend that high pressure will develop in the South western aproaches through from day 8- day 10 & Possibly hold firm-blocking out the atlantic-, *IF* this develops as being progged at the moment it generally creates idealic conditions in the SW- where as further East & NE the weather becomes slightly less settled-

At day 10 there is no detail to be had at the moment, ignore those preaching some sort of fabled forecast of X,Y or Z- It is simply a guess-

The gut feeling & broadbrush model suite shows very seasonal weather, & the SW beginning to become the focus of the best weather available out of that-

From this, the threat of frontal rain would seem to be quite low, Although this can of course change..

So far if there was a Swing o meter it would be close to 8/10 with 75% confidence...

NEW REPORT!

JACKONE is sticking to a 7, but has concerns about rain towards the end of the festival

http://www.netweather.tv/forum/index.php?s...p;#entry1542813

"The GFS operationals outlooks today after a setted start to the festival, have not been as good at the end of the festival, with signs of more unsettled weather, however the 06 and 12Hz ensembles remain good. ECM also goes for a settled start to the festival, so despite slightly more doubt about the chance of some rain at the end of the festival, I will keep the forecast at 7. (with 1=washout, 10=Heatwave)."

All looks good from Jackone too - I'm starting to allow myself (foolishly) to actually get excited at the thought of the driest since 2003!!!!

Good effort Steve and Jackone and thanks for taking the time.

Scanning across the different forecasts, yes it still looks promising but temps seemed to have dropped off a little, although no where near enough to be a problem.

This might be a totally un-do-able......but, can anyone find what these forecasters were predicting at similar times before the previous few festivals and how accurate they turned out to be?

Long shot I know but would be quite interesting!

I think......

Would be good to know. Trouble is, if you search for "weather" on these forums you get a LOT of threads, so it's going to take somebody with more patience than me.
