Just for Jacko - The long awaited weather thread

[bottonrob]

we're in north lancs near Wray not far from Cumbria border, had rain and thunder this morning, was supposed to last all day but stopped around 9:30 and not had anything else bar a few drops all day despite the forecasts saying the depths of hell were preparing to break loose. I don't mind too much if the forecasts are out but when it says at 11am that we have thunder and I'm sat in the garden in the sunshine that is just lies. I am not going to trust anyone ever again ever.

Seems that Yorkshire and Pennines got it worst.

Yes halfpint! So not a mudbath just yet?

Why are you on site out of interest?

[blue6field]

Cheers for the update! Much appreciated

No not a mud bath - but we did get a tad bit wet. I am with the oxfam shop - arrived today, setting shop up tomorrow ready for you all arriving on Thursday!

Thanks for the update, and we'll pop in say hi

[Jacko450]

Has no relevance but its a lovely morning in Skipton and set to be dry allday.

Hoping same for Penrith

[Nixy]

An hour south and I have gone to work leaving my washing out because apart from a few wispy clouds the weather is looking pretty good.

General concensus now seems to be bit shit on Thursday but ok for the rest of the weekend. One more sleep!

[Flaminglippy]

I'll think of you all Friday & Saturday nights when I'm climbing into my nice dry PROPER bed :-)

I think I can speak for everybody on the forum when I say that we'd probably all sleep a lot better if you wasn't thinking about us in bed!

These caravan/chalet types eh!??

[halfpint]

Had sunshine all day - ground drying nicely

[duds]

I have no idea to get a pic on, but the weather is looking even better :-)

[Velvet Overground]

Pouring with rain in Bristol. That's pretty close to Penrith, right?

[duds]

You can leave it down there thanks ;-)

[Flaminglippy]

I am pitched. Its bloody GLORIOUS! JACKO! Its bloody sweltering!

[ramragon]

Is it time to start and worry Jacko yet with next years long range weather forecast ?

[sloaney007]

Bump...

Don't know if jacko is around anymore but thought it might be fun to bring back the weather thread for another year.

Cumbrian weather is being as unpredictable as ever over the last few days, going from 20+ degree blue skies yesterday (my poor white, northern body is now a rosy red) to torrential rain/flooding today. Hopefully we can get the heavy rain out of the way early this year and kc will be awash with glorious Cumbrian sunshine.

I feel honoured you have brought this back in my name!

Also you will all be glad to know I am not attending KC this year sad for me but great for you guys. Without me attending I can pretty much guarantee glorious sun for you all!

[RossendaleR]

theweatheroutlook,com is currently saying no rain between 21st June and 1st July. Let's hope that doesn't mean summer will have been and gone by KC!

[Flaminglippy]

Its lovely and hot in Brum today...

...wasted weather if there isn't a festival on and I'm stuck in an office wearing at spreadsheets

[Flaminglippy]

Bum...long range forecast is rain the day before (lots of mud caused by setting up) and rain on the Thursday.

[Lowther Calling]

pointless looking at long range, the weather can change in the Lakes in minutes, and sledom does what's forecast

[eddiepolio]

Any updates?

[Flaminglippy]

Looking OK...ish
