Lovely. Bring your big coats and leave your shorts at home.

Should pacify the weirdos who can't go outside unless it's like stepping into a walk-in deep freeze.

Shorts are king regardless of weather, nothing worse than trudging round in wet jeans

I avoid this thread like the plague but what are we looking at?

For those who have been through this before, how accurate have the calls that have been made now (ie 2 weeks out from the festival) been in previous years? Surely a lot of time for things to change (perhaps even drastically)?

There's at least eight more rolls of the dice yet my friend

They just used the Met Office until they changed a couple of years ago to MeteoGroup. The BBC dont predict the weather

Of all the members I didn’t think you needed emojis 😉

almost always the rough outlook is correct - it's just the particularities of rain etc. that are pretty much unknown at this point. But if the outlook suggests a pattern of high moving to low pressure over the next two weeks, there's a pretty high chance that will happen.

2019 was a freak anomaly

Every year is the same. This thread consists of 2 kinds of people:

1. The Nal

2. Everyone arguing with The Nal.

Depends. Some years have shown relatively settled predictions this far out (2007 an obvious one, also 2016 I think) and haven't changed much, but for most years there's plenty of time to change. What we want to avoid is consensus developing over next few days around a low sitting for the whole week. 

But 2019 looked terrible at this point and was lovely, and 2015 looked like it was going to be pretty great the week before until we got hit by a couple of random downpours.

Accurate, hah hah hah 😂

Sorry. Serious answer, yes it can all absolutely change. Often many times within 24 hours, let alone day to day. 

The forecasts now ~2 weeks out are a little more statistically reliable than the absolute crystal ball territory we were in earlier on, but it’s still highly uncertain.

This year has a new dynamic. We have Stevie complaining anytime there’s a hint of sunshine.

I think they're working in shifts to maximise the hysteria 😅

Tbf I've never ever not worn shorts at a festival in... I've lost count of the years...

[steviewevie]

hey man, I just don't want it to be hot. I also don't want it to be wet and muddy. And I'm not doing all the doom and gloom stuff like Nal, I'm just saying it's looking fucked. 🙂

12z GFS is up to next weekend so far and this run keeps the low away from UK - no breakdown and rain. Waiting to see what that means for festival week.
