Weather

[marktea]

Oh god, I've just caught up in this all in one go. Nerves shot to pieces, confused, possibly delerious. Still not clear what's actually happened. Can someone just tell me I've got this right:

1. Significant differences between the forecasts still
2. Rain is a certainty
3. How much rain, or if the rain will be prolonged or showery, is less certain
4. It's not looking very sunny - mainly overcast
5. It might be a bit chilly at night
6. There's a faint glimmer that this could change again
7. Several people have got engaged to CaledonianGonzo

2. is not a certainty. 6. is a certainty.

In forecasting terms there is still a long way to go.

Marvellous. That will calm me for now and I might actually be able to get some work done before the out-of-office goes on.

Yeah the rain forecasted has dropped dramatically since this morning for example

You stealing a joke (http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/topic/183856-weather/page-185#entry4422182)? Bastard!

But then you'd be stuck with a rubbish weather forecast and a rubbish phone.

Never go back. Never explain.

Or.... It was posted three times, I though't I'd join the phone. I mean fun.

For the record, I own neither an iPhone or a Samsung or even a phone. I do get to use a Nokia something or other which my work provides. It doesn't have any aps unless you count Snake of which I am a master.

Also for the record, I remain positive!

All of a sudden and for no apparent reason a warm glow of optimisation has engulfed me. I've accepted it'll rain on the friday but im also certain it won't lead to armagedon and balls up everything for the entire weekend.

I remember walking around last year on the friday morning early doors and thinking it looked like a disaster zone everywhere. That turned out great and so will this. I refuse to believe anything different from this point onwards

^^ I agree

This thread is a sledgehammer to my emotional stability, I'm all over the place.

[Joshuwarr]

My guess is we can probably take the Weds/Thurs forecasts as likely to be quite accurate now. Other than that I'd say best to just go and have fun and prepare for the worst (or the best!) outcomes. It is too soon to be sure about the weekend weather, in my opinion.

If we have weather like last year I'll be bloody happy!

Cant belive people are wetting themselves over a shower or two.

[Trebor]

But most aren't. They're reacting to forecasts from earlier predicting worse.

[Porcelina]

I'd rather wet myself than we wetted on from above.

If we were all offered a deal that at some stage during the festival, you had to piss yourself, to guarantee a dry five days, we would all take it right?

How long do have have to sit in my pissy pants? Who sees me with pissed pants? Would I be pissing myself at the festival or in normal life? I'm not signing anywhere until I know exactly what I'm getting myself in for.

[PRSBOY]

no.

selfish.

Ive got some tenner men for anyone that wants to try

Damn, I just misread this and did a massive racehorse p*ss in my chair at work. Now I'm soaked in stinky water and the forecast hasn't changed. Thought I was doing you all a favour but all I've done now is alienate the office cleaner and make the rest of the day particularly uncomfortable.

Just a straight up tinkle in your shorts/jeans and then you can go back to the tent to change.

A good old-fashioned wetting yourself with no catches.

I've tried both and it's more unpleasant than most of the years with the current minimal mm rain. It most likely occurred during a year with very heavy rain, with the aptly named "vodka day".

Any new maps, charts, runs or ensembles?

Has this dratted low pressure still got our name written all over it or is it being tempted further Wales-wards?

So that's why it was so sunny last year? I felt pretty ashamed at the time, but now it looks like I did 130,000 people a huge favour.

[Yesiamaduck]

Latest GFS accumulative rainfall (06z run) is only 12mm for the whole festival. The previous two runs were 20-25mm and 40-45mm.

I hope you aren't married

Am I the only person left on here who hasn't been proposed to?
