It'll be chilly in the evening/overnight no matter what (based on the latest runs) which is a bit of a bummer but still, better than the wet stuff.

RRChip Posted June 20, 2024 Report Share Posted June 20, 2024 So, are we on the usual knife edge or what? Is it going to fall on us like the sword of Damocles or are we putting it back in the knife rack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the site current dry and dry for majority of the build, and not much rain scheduled before Wednesday, is it safe to say the only thing that could cause a lot of mud now would be torrential rain during the festival itself? A couple of hours of fairly heavy rain would make the site muddy even if there no rain between now and it starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicAtreides Posted June 20, 2024 Report Share Posted June 20, 2024 I think I can deal with chilly temps, even overnight, just don’t want to have the face the hell of a mud bath but I’m hoping that’s increasingly unlikely considering how’s it’s been and how it’s shaping up at the moment - even if it is a little underwhelming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, definitely not a certainty that any substantial rain automatically turns the site into a quagmire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

behindthebunhouse Posted June 20, 2024 Report Share Posted June 20, 2024 In the interests of balance (and against my better judgment for getting pulled back into this nonsense again), the Met Office’s mobile-only trial data is having none of this damp shiverfest that the netweather graphs keep spitting out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 20, 2024 Report Share Posted June 20, 2024 Yeah, I've signed up for the trial data and nothing to be too concerned about there yet. Miserable overnight tomorrow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
