Weather thread 2015

[alframsey]

What is the prevailing thought then? I can't decipher the mood.

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

Fuck I hate these people with their twisted headlines and click-bate crap.

 

I like the way they gloss over the "confined to the North and showers" part of that forecast.

 

I guess the headline wouldn't be as good.

Tomorrow is Wellie shopping  D-Day. I've got some shit ones which will get through if it's like 2013. They won't survive another  2014 again. £9.99 in Sports Direct that I don't want to have to spend, but left it til Monday last year which is why I have hte shit ones that don't fit...hoping for a conclusive removal of all low pressure in all forecasts by lunch tomorrow.

[TheParkAfterDark]

You guys know the sun doesn't *actually* rise right?

We also realise the sun doesn't go down, it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round... or something.

The Glastonbury Recycling crew FB page said it was hot hot hot to today

I don't want to go all NFR NFC on here, but buy them. Better safe than sorry, have and not need etc etc. I'll do you a deal, if it's sunny all festival and you don't need them, in the style of Family Fortunes, I'll give you the money myself.

Buy them or it's your fault.

Plus the chances of zero low pressure in the forecast are zero

Mens Dunlop half welly

£8 sports direct

Unsure how waterproof half a welly would be.

I presume it's not split down the middle

It has no sole.

It has the wellington, just no boot.

A green plastic floppy tube to put over your pants if it gets muddy.

[justperfect]

That's why they are only 8 quid

[Mezhyp1]

Got me some new waterproof walking boots and gaiters today, just incase

[frostypaw]

All this optimism has left us with a poor GFS run, brace yourselves. I suspect it won't be reflected in the ensembles - looks like almost a freak occurrence flicking the low down towards us

[NorthernScum]

I have bought a very good waterproof boilersuit/overall/all-in-one kind of thing. But it's gonna be warm n dry so i'll not need it.

[stopwn1981]

Haha - the latest GFS run is catastrophic - pure green...jackone next score is bound to be a 9.

[stuartbert two hats]

Yes, it does. Just ask Einstein

Still no Pedmills?

ive been watching this thread for a while and I still have no idea what a gfs run or an ensemble is......is it an overly techy way of saying `we also dont really have a clue until monday ish`

GFS = Global Forecasting System (I think) an American weather computer

Each 'run' is a prediction of the future weather.

An ensemble is when the model is run many times with fractionally different inputs - because it is a chaotic system small errors in measurements make big differences so this shows the range of options from now

[brettredmayne]

Well wish I hadn't looked at this tonight

[LEDZEP66]

we knew it really. Chemical brothers and the Who clash makes it 2007 all over again. At least ticket day will be easy 

[pilton digger]

hopefully not after licking his bollocks

he licks his sack, his bollocks were nicked 2 years ago.

[A Guy Called Matt]

It must be true - we're fucked...

When I read that they think Wimbledon will be  awash out as we have 10 days of rain from this Saturday I stopped reading - as Wimbledon does not even start until 29th June.

[T-Mouse]

WHY!?!

WHY THIS SHIT EVERY YEAR
