ICGenie Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 You can look at all the forecasts you like. What concerns me most at the moment is that Download might not be a washout. Download ALWAYS takes the fall for us. The weather gods require it. A dry Download is a bad Glastonbury omen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally run pretty warm and as long as the sun is shining on your back you'll feel nice and toasty. Slip on a hoodie for the morning and back on for the early evening. Good to go.

Walter Sobchak Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 All this pointless speculation let's just wait for the countryfile festival forecast. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Met are arguably least of a bad bunch, else look at the non public forcasts like the ones for farming and especially shipping, where the economics matters.

Wrong feed I know but any idea how much a pint is there this year, always good to know as a measure of how expensive it’s going to be at the farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're mistaking the 25 for a 35. 25 degrees is just a nice balmy summer's day. On that note, since when did 30 degrees become the "danger zone" rather than just "summer"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
