Bit of a mixed bag going on with the forecasts... Probably not worth that much stock but I still can't ignore em:,

Yes you can, just close this thread, deep breath, get yourself a brew and read the other threads

In theory it's possible but that'd require a level of discipline that I just don't have!

[djdavejohnson]

For the first time this year I've given up looking at forecasts. The last three years it seems the forecasts were changing every other day!

I'm disciplined about packing lists, getting provisions and avoiding the weather thread until the previous week - apologies to lovers of the thread. 

The times we've had truly awful weather it just makes you miserable for extra weeks in advance

This is a first for me, haven't been here for any of me other festivals... Eh good weather will be nice but I'll still have a great time of the weather's crap anyway.

I'm going off those Norwegians.

Reminds me of the run up to 2011... I'm with The Nal today!

Much better.

[Stretlow]

This rain that's being banded about for next week is pretty much whats been being said for the last weekish isnt it?, the general (albeit rough) consensus was on off rain in the run up with it brightening up from the 21st onward.

 

Well that's what i'm going with anyway

This would be perfect. Especially as im off work for the week after Glasto as well!

[shuttlep]

when you look at the break down day by day it mentions how many hours worth of rain, and the most it says at the momnet is that on one day it will rain for 2 hours

[nban2010]

Yeh just a bit of rain Sat aft, I can live with that.

[richy24]

Would definitely take 4 days of sun!

This chart would bring some rain. Not loads, but enough. If the Azores high pressure pushes NE a bit and the low recedes to Greenland then it could be perfect. If it goes the other way it could be a wash out.

Latest run has gone the other way :-(

[tjfish]

I'd rather be wet from sweat!

[FatAmmy]

Bonnaroo is happening right now and the weather forecast for the next 3 days is 96F, 97F, 96F. No Clouds, no rain, 100% humidity. 

So, things could be worse than a little rain

[ukmountie]

I've just bought new waterproof trousers, so clearly it will be hot and sunny.

Are you mad? It mentions thunderstorms. 

A pm thunderstorm in spots

Sounds ok to me - good chance it won't hit if you are in the right spot

[boredawn]

It's just way waaaay too early to say. Squeaky bum time from maybe 18th/19th, but prior to that you'd be as well reading the bottom on yer tea cup for an answer.

I mind living the dream in 2010, checking obsessively until maybe the Monday beforehand when it became clear that it was going to be el - scorchio. Every forecast got better and better until I eventually become so cock sure of myself that I stopped checking. Those were the days.

We're getting all the storms at the minute. Feel sorry for the Downloaders, but hopefully the weather is getting this out of its system for the end of the month!
