Weather thread 2015

[deebeedoobee]

Today on Worthy has been warm - very warm and the sky looked dark (see photos on other thread) but it went around us. Not a drop has dropped since early morning. Plus the ground looks like this

 

[Divein]

If I'd have a bowl first on that I reckon.

Amazing pictures, I should be packing but I'm having a little break on here.

[Gnomicide]

The lastest met office doesn't look great for the weekend - wind and persistant rain..argghh..lets hope it misses us.

UK Outlook for Thursday 25 Jun 2015 to Saturday 4 Jul 2015:

Dry and bright for many places on Thursday, with the warmest conditions in the east. Windier and cloudier with outbreaks of rain from Friday and into Saturday, although the south and east should keep the warmer and drier conditions for the longest and here it may become very warm and humid. The rain will become persistent and perhaps heavy at times through the weekend, especially in the northwest where the strongest winds are likely to be. The final days of June and early July will probably see further unsettled weather, with the south most likely to see some longer, drier spells. Temperatures are expected to be around normal for the time of year, but above average at times in the southeast and generally rather cool in the northwest.

Sounds fine for the south.

CONFIDENCE IS HIGH!!

Those clouds currently dumping their load on gloucester : (

With cracks like that you'd have to fancy quick wickets. Should be a dust bowl by day 3 and 4.

Expect some uneven bounce

would quite like a bit to drop between now and tuesday, to soften up the ground somewhat, and get some of that shit out of the air

The wind and the rain is for the north half of the UK, as per the last published runs, and NOT Glastonbury. The south stays warm and pretty much dry. However, as with the caveat I posted earlier Glasto at the moment is relying on that low not slipping down the country. Will be interesting to see where we stand when the next runs come out. Could do with that low weakening further north.

Think I may pack some rock pegs for pitching the tent, the normal ones will just bend.

It'll be turning sideways off them cracks by day three. Which I imagine a lot of us will be doing too.

[justperfect]

So who's going to be glued to country file tomorrow and just how accurate/trustworthy is it?

Is it renowned for getting it right.

Does john craven and the farmer type lad off the one show still present it

I love Countryfile and am glued to it most weeks. It's about as accurate as any 7 day BBC weather forecast is, so decreasing in accuracy as the week goes on.

 

Yeah they do, as well as that woman that used to be on Blue Peter and some others. I hope Adam's on his farm, it's not as good when he goes off gallivanting. 

[Lizzim]

On my first stage of my journey and currently in Glasgow. It is a lovely sunny evening, much better than forecast. So quietly optimisic for the week ahead.

12z GFS run today looks very good, pretty much dry with only very light showers over the weekend until the Sunday evening, and then some light rain over Sunday night/early hours Monday

The 12z has our old friend "the French Finger" returning just in time for the festival

 

[SteveTLizard]

You lot do realise that no one has a single fucking clue what the weather will be like until about an hour before hand.

Take 2005 as an example, it was looking amazing right up until friday morning when shit loads were swimming back to their tent.

Jeez louise .......

Fucking ell, 5 down votes for pointing out the bleeding obvious. I stand corrected on my timing, a subsequent poster pointed out that it was not an hour before the 2005 storms that they were predicted, but 2 days. Let's take this as fact, this means that as of Wednesday it was looking glorious for the weekend. So the forecasts that you are basing your euphoria/despair on for this year will right now, in all likelyhood turn out to be complete and utter bollox.

Down vote the fuck out of that bitches.

You're a bit cross, Steve, aren't you?

 

Do you really care if some people you don't know click a down vote button regarding something you wrote on the internet? Really?

 

Come on, man, it's so nearly Glastonbury!

I THINK its because your discounting any forecasts which is obviously nonsense, weather is an innaccurate science but it still helps us give us an idea

Would you like a medal for pointing out that what was referred to as a once in a century freak storm was a once in a century freak storm?

I can probably find you a picture of one but cba I'll try :medal: did that work for you?

One freak incident doesn't mean you need to fling all your toys out the pram
