Current heatwave?! Had two nice days in the last three weeks here. Was 10C on Tuesday, people had their winter coats on!

When you setting off from Antarctica?

If it's 35° in the shade - At that point, I'd probably not go. 

 

 

I'd definitely be with you in that circumstance, in that I'd really struggle with it... I'd probably still go, but I wouldn't be day drinking for sure.

That's seven centimetres nearly three inches.

That's similar to what I tell the missus too... "Good 8 inches that is love." 🙈😂

It does... if that little mole hill can grow upwards, from France, a little more over the weekend, and keep that low off the south west away... 🙂 

 

Edit: Never mind, the low won... Outlier... TWIST

The low is still developing in this run but not as bad as last time.

Does make it a pretty wet Friday...

 

 

Better sat.

[briddj]

Weekend completely dry on the 18Z.

Massive improvement, temps 21, 24, 23, 23, 23.

Good night!

The best news really (and something actually worth looking at this early) Is that most runs on both GFS and ECMWF suggest there doesn't seem to be much rain around in the next week or so, just a few passing showers... Site will be fine. 🙂 

About 3cm total between now and Sunday 25th on the GFS



And about 1 to 1.5cm total between now and Mon 19th June on the ECMWF

Touch wood obviously 🤞

Edited to add... To put this into context... Despite the scary images of showers... 0.5cm to 4cm of rain PER HOUR, is classed as a moderate rain shower. That's per hour, signs suggest we're getting less than that spread over the next 15 days!!! 

Touch wood again. 🤞

Until August? Hardcore! I did the Other (NME) stage in 94 then all over in 95. Found ALL SORTS! As I bet you did! 

I’ve always been curious about what the litter pickers find.  What sort of things did you pick up?

Mainly drugs and money. A lot of coins. All together in the week I did the Other stage I found about £50 in shrapnel. Also it was the World Cup in 94 and I found 20 World Cup design acid tabs in a little baggie. Which of course I handed in to the Police…

00z has a completely dry festival with temps up to 29 over the weekend…

[richy24]

Latest run is 🔥 

[Duggyfresh44]

That’s almost an exact copy of the actual weather in 2019. Right up to the rain on the Tuesday!!!

[squirrelarmy]

The rollercoaster hits another climb. 

Time to rethink my packing. Again. 

[rebus]

The 00z run might just be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

We need a series of alternatives to pack for (I think I need a bigger wardrobe):

Hot and dry

Hot and wet

Cold and dry

Cold and wet

Well it’s all change with the midnight run of the GFS.   It has completely flipped and now gives us a completely dry festival.  But it gives with one hand and takes with the other.   It puts the High pressure over Scandinavia and the North Sea giving us a warm continental feed so temperatures rise by the day:

Wednesday: 24

Thursday: 25

Friday: 28

Saturday: 30

Sunday: 31

 

Low pressure still lurks nearby to our south, so this is bound to change again over the next 10 days. Let the rollercoaster continue!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Let it not. f**king stick.

Wakes up, checks the weather thread. Don’t know why because I don’t believe any of the forecasts anyway. 

[Jacko45]

This thread is a wild ride, not understanding the data and nuances of the graphs being shared

Then not even knowing which responses to said data are genuine LOL

Absolutely! I’ve become really obsessed with this thread, despite it being wayyyy too early and not understanding any of the pictures. 🤣
