This thread needs real weather discussion- so discuss…

Been in Krakow last few days. App said thunder storms 80% from Thursday to Monday right up to the 24 hours before. Turn up and had one 20 min shower so unsure how accurate the app is

I remember watching the app one day last year at the festival..

"80% chance of rain in the next hour"

hour passes..

"70% chance of rain in the next hour"

This went on until 3am every hour until it just stated "cloudy" or something in the end.

Sounded like we did actually dodge a bullet last year though and it rained all around us.

 

I would say it's not very accurate.

Ahh, one of those "substitutes for a personality" things.

This might just be copium, but Met Office always been the most accurate 7 day forecasts in my experience.

I never expected this thread to get EVEN BETTER, but here we are.

Sas- great poncho! I almost want it to rain now so I can spot you in the crowd and say hi!

I think if it was going to absolute to shite they’d probably be the first to know

[stopwn1981]

I predict the ECM will turn in our favour tomorrow followed by the GFS on Wednesday.

why are some people getting so stressed about other people's reactions to people getting stressed by other people in this thread? I think we all need to calm down a bit.

Its the KNIFE EDGE. It has this effect on people. 

[gazzared]

I like ventuskys graphics but don't like the forecast, iam using GFS - is that the best one to use ? 

Does the video work for everyone ? Ive lowered the res and bandwidth

Ive got the leopard print one. Tried it out in a torrential thunderstorm yesterday and it did the job. Hoping mine also stays in it's pouch!

Aaah that one is very chic! 

Glad to know its been road tested. I was slightly worried I was putting form over function 😄

Do you have any charts to accompany your 3-day weather forecast predictions?  Getting very meta

Not heard from Sheffield Steve for a while...

*Awaits his forecast for the arrival of the four horseman of the apocalypse at Worthy Farm on the Thursday afternoon*

Has anyone found the definitive forecast out yet?

if anyone wants a laugh they should look at the current accuweather forecast, they are definitely trolling us 😂

I went for the tartan. Its so pretty, nice and long, and has elasticated cufs and a massive hood. Perfect for dancing in the rain - I love it! 

And may it remain in its oversized tartan pouch for the entire festival. 

Love the poncho! It's a lot sassier than my sensible orange pacamac.

Might be wise to skip the roller skates though.

I'd take accuweather's forecast, seems perfect... 

Few days with morning rain and spotted light showers in the afternoon... to keep dust down.

Careful now @CaledonianGonzo will be along any moment to tell you that any rain spells the end of civilization.

I'm with you though.
