The Weather Thread 2023

Let's kick some ice!

22C in full sun yesterday was perfect. Borderline taps aff. When the sun went in it was too cold so 25 daytime max is ideal. If you have to wear a tshirt, let alone a hoodie, it's basically too cold.

I think we can all agree that 26-27 with minimal cloud cover is the sweet spot.

18° is perfect. Cos when you are moving, it's t-shirt weather & warm.

Walking about in 8° (yes eight) would do me if it was dry.

Easily my favourite profile pic in here!

Anyway back to weather….I get the whole wind in the east of the country now. Down in Kent for a couple of days and that wind has taken me by surprise 

This is what I'm talking about!! It's been dry kind of sunny but fairly overcast this side but I've still been freeeeezing the last couple of weeks. The sun's been a bit stronger the last couple days but still a bit chilly from that bloody wind. I have hypothyroidism and my worst symptom is feeling the cold. This is why I'm dying for sunshine at Glastonbury. Feels like we haven't had the warmth yet!!

18 is not shirt weather. That's hoody weather and at night I'll get hypothermia when it drops

By the pool or at the beach, yes.

But not at a festival.

[Henrik]

Is there much of a festival scene in Antarctica?

Accuweather still holding strong for us.

Ignoring this whole thread apart from this one post 😅 looks fine to me! Wouldn't mind a little warmer Fri-Sun but as long as it's not lashing down... I'm happy 🙂 

[WelshWonderer]

I don't know why I do it to myself every year, but every few hours when those charts come out I am none stop looking at this thread full well knowing that it won't be confirmed until we are actually there either sweltering or knee deep in the brown stuff.

So if it is hot shall we make an efestivals rota to follow @FuzzyDunlop around and spray him with ice water. Maybe an hour shift each

I'm hoping for 24-25c with a few fluffy white clouds in the sky. NO WIND!

I'd be disappointed if I got that on holiday by a pool though!!! I'd want 30-32 if I'm sitting on the beach!

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

Clouds is where rain comes from. 

No f**king clouds! No f**king Rain! No f**king Compromise!

Nope, little white fluffy ones make the skyline beautiful. Two little white fluffy clouds, once an hour going over for 5 minutes. Very specific

What weather is associated with cumulus clouds?

Mostly, cumulus indicates fair weather, often popping up on bright sunny days. Though if conditions allow, cumulus can grow into towering cumulus congestus or cumulonimbus clouds, which can produce showers.

Being greedy, I'd like 24/25 degrees with the odd cloud coming over through the day but also a fair amount of cloud cover at night to keep the temps up & them not burning off until about 11am each day so being in the tent isn't baking

 

Not too much to ask surely?

#teamfuzzy twenty degrees. Max. Occasional cloud cover as a break from the direct sunshine. You donuts who want 27 upwards want to try being made of Irish skin, it just doesn’t work when the sun’s splitting the stones

Yep let’s drag a suitcase of clothing and thermal layers around all day. No - shorts and T-shirt 24 hours for 5 days is what’s required!
