The mean is significantly lower than the operational. I like the word 'positive' but less sure about the word 'lower'.... do we need to start peeling ourselves off the ceiling?

kalifire Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 I’ve only just realised that @The Nal is eFestival’s online sacrifice to the weather gods. By openly accepting the worst case scenario, they are trying to appease the gods into providing the best possible scenario. Don’t know why it took me this long! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always lick to see the full day and normally laugh when I see one or maybe two images for drizzle for part of one hour being used to describe the entire day - take Saturday on the latest forecast for an example.

They want to keep us sad. Its not just the weather/glasto, look at the shite they pedal on the news and what's left of there programming.

There's an intern in the iPlayer team who has to stay behind to make sure that the Glasonbury content is all working. They also do the weather forecasts based on old Nanny Hilda's tealeaves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpins Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 I reckon the BBC change it so often to make sure people keep checking it and they get more hits - same as any commercial enterprise really. And it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko45 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 @briddj We got an evening kick-off? By that I mean we got a run to get really scared about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that.... BBC put their weather out to contract a few years ago and the Met Office was supposed to win (£75 million) but the Beeb being decent coves didn't tip them off so these new guys won who are frankly rubbish. The army and air traffic control does use the Met Office so you can safely discount the Beeb's new rubbish forecasts. How do I know ? My brother worked for them until quite recently and told me.

AdrianH Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 12z GFS isnt quite as clean as the 6z with the main atlantic trough getting closer to the UK. Maybe a few scattered showers for Tuesday night queuers but a good/warm run so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briddj Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 Ok, we had a good run on the 06Z. Can we get it firmed up on the 12Z? Let's find out! THROUGH TO GATES OPEN We're now starting to get into the period of more certainty for the weekend, and yet again there effectively no rain in the forecast. What is there is basically very light for a short period (also a couple of patches of drizzle Monday and Tuesday). It looks like there's no danger of a churn up before the gates open. GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY Dry for gates open, temps of 19-20. Completely dry through the day with highs of 23-24. Overnight into Thursday, 15-16. The high pressure isn't quite as in demand in this run (on the right), though it's not too much different. How will it develop? THURSDAY Completely dry on site, but there is a very small pocket of light rain out to the east in the early evening. Highs of 24-25. Overnight into Friday, 15-16. This is more danger from low pressure from the north on this run (on the right). FRIDAY Completely dry (ignore the wispy blue) with highs of 24-25. Overnight into Saturday, 14-15. Good news! The high pressure is now winning the battle. As you can see on the right, we've moved into a deeper red. But will it last? SATURDAY Completely dry (ignore the wispy blue) with highs of 21-22. Overnight into Sunday, 10-12. High pressure is in a very similar place to the last run, though temps are a few degrees down. SUNDAY Completely dry with highs of 21-22. Overnight into Monday, 12. The low out in the Atlantic isn't as threatening (right), which is good to see. SUMMARY Not quite as good as the last run, but still bloody great - and many people will appreciate the slightly lower temperatures on the weekend. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
