Weather 2016

[Keithy]

As we're down to 99 days now, seems rude not to start up the Weather thread and fill it with 11 weeks of speculation until we get the more accurate forecasts a week or two out

Looks like there's been another strong El Nino this year

...temperatures have been spurred on by a very large El Niño in the Pacific Ocean...

Would be great to have a repeat of last year, was pretty much perfect for me.

Must go and see what the Azore's finger is up to this year

[Hotchilidog]

And so it begins! Woo hoo!

[jparx]

Strap yourselves in...

[The Nal]

That El Nino is bad bad news

Thanks for taking the plunge Keithy, it's a long road from here 

[SwedgeAntilles]

It's back!

I think on the 2016 FOPJ* scale, we're currently at 'nervous apprehension'

I like it mostly dry with a bit of rain overnight every now and again to dampen down the dust. I get hay fever and find it uncomfortable sometimes if it's blazing hot sun shine for 5 days. Must admit, I did like last years weather, including the mad downpours. Due to the one when Mary J Blige was playing, I got to be involved in an impromptu Beatles singalong as loads of us randoms all took shelter under someones gazebo next to their tent by one of the tracks on the hill facing the Pyramid stage. Made for a very happy memory that did

Metcheck already have a forecast up and running.  Doesn't look too good...

http://www.metcheck.com/UK/180days.asp?MonthOf=6&zipcode=Glastonbury&locationID=57455&lat=51.1&lon=-2.7&findtype=

Of course, accuracy this far off is very low.

My favourite thread has returned.

Pleased that it's arrived on a day full of sunshine. Definitely an omen.

[dooke10]

Lets have 2010 again I could do with a tan (although I was sunburnt from head to toe after a day but that was my own fault)

[**claire**]

No r*in allowed this year folks - not sure the new trailer tent is waterproof & I don't want to find out one way or the other.

Well that didn't take too long did it  first rainy forecast from the dastardly metcheck.

[Drfoxxx]

There'll be plenty of sunshine I can feel it! 

Sunshineeee and cider go hand in hand... and there'll be plenty of both in June 

[dexydexy]

Omg last year I was obsessively checking this thread multiple times a day in the run up!

I think it's that thread which got me hooked

[Avalon_Fields]

El Niño is on as a TBC

[Wow-wys-buzzing]

Nah it better not rain this year 

[LeeGalvin]

Fact: it's going to be SCORCHIO this year.

[sophlamb]

Shall we only share the good forecasts we find? If we pretend any with rain in don't exist maybe it'll just go away.
