The weather thread 2011

[brettredmayne]

Inspired by the Glastonbury forum thought we needed a weather thread.

The few predictions ive found so far

August

Temperature: Close to average

Precipitation: Slightly above average

First half

Rather unsettled conditions are expected during much of the first half of the month. Significant rainfall is possible in the form of heavy showers or more persistent and longer spells. Temperatures are likely to be slightly below the seasonal average.

Second half

The second half of the month is forecast to bring mixed weather early in the period with showers or longer spells of rain. During the last third of the month drier and brighter spells of weather should develop across most of the country. Temperatures over the period are close to or slightly above the seasonal average. .

I'm not too bothered about the temperature, as long as it's dry and not too windy.

Cardigan weather. Dry and not too warm, not too cold. But I'd be happy with it just being dry.

Most weather predictions can't seem to get it right even a few hours in advance. As long as it's dry I don't mind, the mud doesn't bother me that much but I find I don't wander around the camp site as much.

i'm going to be the ultimate pessimist and say that its going to be shit weather all week - from the wednesday to the monday.

then if its better than that its a bonus!

As long as it not as cold as it was on Sunday night last year I'll be happy!

Think the weather has been terrible for most festivals this year so far, Download, IOW & Rocknesss got dreadful weather, Glastonbury had a torrential downfall and was miserable (apart from Sunday, were it was really quite warm) and now I'm watching TITP and the weather doesn't look much better there either. I think in order to even it all out there should be a heatwave on the weekend of R/L.

But that's just wishful thinking.

What are you on about? It didn't rain at all last year.

[therefused]

as long as it doesnt rain im happy, it can be cold, but no rain.

What are you on about? It didn't rain at all last year.

[The Mean Bean]

Well that's what you get for living in the South. Even the weather Gods prefer the North.

[mrtourette]

At Reading it rained the three or four days previously which made the campsites a bit problematic but the only rain during the festival was for an hour or so on Sundy afternoon.

[The Mean Bean]

a little bit of rain a day or so before the fest is good for camping, your tent pegs are just going to slide straight out of dry soil, especially if you're camping in some shite asda tent.
