This Saturday is gonna be a shit ton of rain in a short burst I reckon. Depends what the rain is gonna be like Sunday and Monday, if it's light drizzle or constant downpours. But I still reckon if that Tuesday holds and it's relatively warm and dry, we could fine regardless of what happens this weekend.

I live in Prague and yesterday was one of the biggest storms I've ever seen, literally biblical. It was after 3 days of extreme heat and the ground in front of the house in the park was flooded and in 4 hours with sun after it dried. I can imagine the ground in Pilton now is very dry and dusty and can behave in the same way...

Why?

Itll just be another load of absolute bollocks that will be completely contradicted in a few hours.

The UKMO is not to bad - shows this but its pretty much gone inside 3 hours on Sunday

BBC says it is 16C this morning and out walking the dog the sun was out and it felt too hot. Dog also said it felt too hot. Makes all the difference if sun is out. So if we're going to have anything above 20 it has to be cloudy.

The voice in my head after I tell myself to take it easy on the Wednesday at the festival.

Yeah, it's apparently 17 degrees here but just went for a walk in the sun and it feels more like 23. Anything around 19-21 degrees if the sun is out should be more than fine.

I think sun adds at least 5C to recorded temperatures...probably more at this time of year.

If the weather is shit for the festival I am squarely blaming you two, jabbering on with your "cold is best" bollocks.  Don't you see you're tempting fate!

Cold leads to low pressure.  Low pressure leads to clouds and rain.  Rain leads to mud.  Path to the dark side that is.

It's all subjective dude. For me 30C and sunny is shit, same as constant rain is shit. Anyway. we don't want cold, we just don't want hot, ideally something like we've been getting so far this month... sun/cloud and 18/19C...which is infact the average weather for this time of year.

I'll settle on 22C, no clouds, pure sun.

0.5-0.75 mm of rain isn't exactly torrential

Worse than middling day time temperatures is the inevitable freezing off of tits at night, particularly as there isn't really a heat island effect when you're camping. It's miserable about having to add endless layers so you aren't shivering the entire time. The heat in 2019 meant that nights had a wild energy about them that can't be beat.

Great point.  I was up until 3-ish every night in short sleeves.  Of course, being pissed and dancing like a daft twat also helps.

20 degrees and cloudy, perfect weather to watch concerts from noon to midnight without issues.
