WEATHER 2009 !

[Sam Crawley]

Ah ha, the weather thread, good bump. I find it delicious that the thread which has become the Official Weather Thread of 2009 starts off with a post saying "This isn't meant to be the official weather thread", though being a pedant, the lack of apostrophe in the sub-thread grates oh so very slightly every single time!

There's still that silly link floating about with the ridiculous numbers.. I don't think they have a proper event page for this year yet, but they do have a "ticker" widget thingie (technical term!) which you can configure to show the weather for any future event and location, then stick it on your blog etc. (See here for my personal one as an example). It's still clearly nonsense though as despite being two months away, the weather prediction changes on a daily basis!

It's going to be a scorcher by the way

Looks like the Events section has disappeared off Metcheck.. then again I've never been very good at navigating their website!

Looks like all the news outlets have picked up on MET Office's "hot & dry" summer.

It is going to be boiling! We will actually be complaining about it being too hot to walk between stages. Can't wait!

My forecast: There will be weather. That's the closest we're getting this far out.

[joshwarrr]

I disagree. I do not think there will be any weather at all.

[mario man]

This is actually not so good at this stage

This is a little bit worrying potentially, but EVERYTHING hangs on where the east to west line is drawn, West might end up only including Wales and Northwards.

Does anyone else always get the same 'it always rains at Glastonbury' response when you say you're going to the festival? I never hear people say 'nice one' or 'great, who's on?' just 'it's always raining and dead muddy there'. It really hacks me off.

Sorry, this has absolutely no relevance to this year's weather at all

[lianne and craig]

Almost bought a pac a mac today in topshop......but then i thought nah, its not gonna rain. Funnily enough i came home and logged into efestivals and the main page says that the bbc forcasts hot and dry weather!!!! Hooorah!

However........

According to metcheck, from the18th to the 27th june, the third and final wave of the 'European Summer Monsoon' brings more wet and windy weather to the UK with further heavy showers. They are 77% confident too. Bloody metcheck

What do i need to buy?! I need to buy clothes in advance because i will need all my money nearer the time for spends while im there. AAArrrrgggghh, do i need a cagoul or would a plastic poncho do....or a bloody wet suit?

I cant handle the suspense and not knowing!!!

[Mr.Tickle]

What time of year does that guy (was it Steve Murr or something) start giving his informed forecasts for Glasto?
