Those complaining about temperatures above 18 degrees are from the wet side of the Pennines. 

warmer side.

Bearing in mind how dry it's been in the runup, if it rains all weekend, could it still end up being very muddy, aka welly conditions? My hope was we might swerve that, but I know how quickly the site gets churned up when the rain starts.

I'd take being tired from the heat but able to  wear trainers, sit down wherever I want, get around the site easier and  not be cold or wet over mud any day of the week.

Where's the upside to it being wet and muddy?  Being able to sleep in a little later in the mornings?  The thrill of slipping in the mud? taking 3 times as long to get around the site?

 

 

 

Less sore feet.

that is the million dollar question. If does get above 20-30mm on sunday, and the following days also are on and off rain and not that warm then yes could be muddy.

YR have updated, dear oh dear oh dear.

A months worth of rain in 24 hours.

Topped up nicely with a few days of more shite. 

  

 

What the fuck is up with this unhinged lunatic and his 25 minute forecasts? 

He loves weather?

Latest predictions are unbearably cold temperatures

I was worried you'd say that... but entirely expected it!

On the downpour on Sunday - if rain was to fall between now and setting off home on the Monday, a massive downpour in one go this Sunday is probably the best case outcome.  I reckon the hard hard ground and the current drainage will cope with it nicely.  Half the amount that fell in 2005, with nobody there and way, way better drainage.

I hope!

30 mins until we can get back on the GFS rollercoaster for the next run 🥳

I've just bought a new really warm bomber jacket to appease the weather gods. I know I'm on the 'science' thread, but I think it might help...

Sit on one of the many, many benches dotted about!

The ones that people stand on and cover in mud you mean?

[TaylorT]

When will snow be forecast? Always fancied sledging from the stone circle down the greenfields into West Holts.

You're in a field, not the theatre.  It's fine.

yeah, thick mud is exhausting. And it must be a nightmare for anyone with mobility issues...

I'd still prefer to sit on something dry and not covered in wet mud

You do know that this is the midsummer solstice and not the midwinter one.

Come on The High!

It's also Britain.

I'll tell you why the weather's turning to shit, it's because we're 20 pages behind where we were at this point in the 2019 weather thread.

Not enough effort being put in!

Yeah, me too.  I don't want the mud, but it's fine.
