Balls!

I predict sun. Trust me.

[Mr_Grump]

They can't predict this weekend's weather let alone 6 weeks time...does anyone know this weekend's lottery numbers?

[bottonrob]

Lottery numbers are 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 & 3, weather will be snowy with long periods of hell, fire & brimstone, weekend overview- mauve... then again I might be wrong

[Comfy Bean]

Rain!?!?!?!?!?

I remember we were told it would be sun sun sun.

I'm too old for another slog like last year.

[johnny-yen]

Yes, it will be what it will be. Nothing can be done about it.

I was at a small outdoor music event yesterday and the met office said there was 80% chance of heavy rain. We got nothing!

Lochster I'm taking legal advice on your guarantee of sun sun sun. If it rains like last year I will also need a divorce lawyer!

I've back tracked on sun ! The wife says she ain't going if it's raining ! Fingers crossed ! Ha

The long term forecast for end of July is not great from Met Office at the moment.....

"How will July finish up?

A more zonal flow is expected though the period with a NW / SE split. The NW looks likely to see rain moving through which will mean more in the way of cloud. Southeastern areas look more likely to see drier and brighter conditions. Despite the brighter conditions in the southeast most of the UK is expected to average out as having below average temperatures for the time of year. Rainfall is expected to be above average in the west and below in the north while many parts are expected to see average or below average sunshine."

Remember that Penrith is in the North so according to this part of the forecast, below average rain (to me, the West is Wales/Liverpool)

Great. I'll take that thanks.

[fumps]

If we have rain I will be writing god a very stiff letter.

 

Anyway it cant rain because I traded some of my soul for sunshine....although I woulnt rely on that last bit because I traded  it before for some lego

I confess to being a total wimp and struggling with cold, wet festivals. It seems some of you survived last year's KC and are coming back for more this year, so any tips on the best ways to cope if it's cold and wet? (Which of course it won't be).

[jamj]

I confess to being a total wimp last year and having a whole afternoons sleep one day (it was the day Showhawk Duo were on as I missed them then realised afterwards), disgraceful behaviour but that rain was relentless!

 

I would say keep dry rather than try to dry out afterwards (not alcohol related), I will be taking some of those plastic ponchos this year as even my waterproof didn't do the job..........plenty of layers and take your wellies along with plenty of socks    

 

I sound like my mother!

[Jacko45]

Not posted for ages and ages! Sadly missing KC again this year but not for Latitude but as I've been in Australia for 10 months.

 

Hope everyone has a great festival and the weather gods shine on you.

 

Just for reference, I broke my curse of bad festival weather with superb weather at Latitude last year.

Hello mate, welcome back ! The weather threads been named in your honour the few years before this one and we all wondered if you were secretly there last year as it lashed down from start to finish !

Hope you had a good time in Australia and im sure not even your luck could make it pour over there !

make sure you buy decent placiponchos before coming the ones they sell on site struggle to handle beer dribbleage never mind a cumbrian storm!

[IbizaPrincess]

Too soon to tell, I hear it was muddy last year though :-( after several wet and muddy Glastonbury I think I can cope with anything but would love a proper sunny festival for once!

[fumps]

A military poncho Is heavy but worth it's weight in gold. Ive had one for years & nothing gets through it.

[Lowther Calling]

Roasting my knackers off here today! 

 

Just needs to stay this way!!!!

[sloaney007]

Im taking no chances after last year, I'm still a little bit scarred from my gazebo snapping in 2 and being blown into the next field so I've bought a massive tent! If it chucks it down you are all more than welcome to join me (bring beer!)

[ramragon]

As long as it's not a repeat of last year I'll be fine. Doesn't have to be blazing sun for me, 22 degrees an overcast sounds ideal !

[dooke10]

This weather would be ideal for me!

...still a little bit scarred from my gazebo snapping in 2 and being blown into the next field...

 

 

 

 

That be the Festival Gods telling you that Gazeboes are NOT allowed at Lowther Calling...
