The Weather Thread 2024

[Flighty Zoo]

I am a bit bamboozled by this thread. Was having a good run of keeping up with it and last I saw on Wednesday was overwhelmingly positivity, but... where are we at now?! Unsettled weather? A deluge of the sorts not seen since the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs?

Sorry my mistake - I was talking about 2005

I still think one of the enduring Glastonbury myths is that 2008 ticket sales were slow because of Jay-Z and Emily 'rebooting the festival'. I went with a group of about 35 in 2007, and it was so awful only four of us returned in 2008. 

 

Similar experience here. If forecasts were showing a 2007 washout, I think I'd actually just stay at home. Especially since I'm nearly 20 years older now! It was so exhausting, and depressing by the end. Destroyed me physically and mentally.

I thought we'd never see that lovely high again.

 

No chance I'm getting excited after Wednesday nights euphoria only to be 2 days of garbage after.

Happy for it to be an outlier if it's the only right one.

Been away from the thread for a day and I am so confused. Am I just packing for all eventualities? Do I need my snow boots and flip flops? Thermals and suncream? 

[cb4747]

Also froze two litres of sangria this morning to test its freezability and am happily quite merry at 4.45pm. Could someone explain the weather predictions in simple terms please.

We’ve got 3 one litre cartons from Sainsbury’s in the freezer at the mo - glad to hear it’s worked out well!

Just dropped 120 quid on a pair of waterproof boots and a good poncho/light jacket. Bring on the weather.

There will be weather, in simple terms. As usual in June, it could be good, bad or ugly.

 

I reckon it’s going to be OK. Pack a sun hat and a coat and walking boots as well as trainers.

Walk me through it your procedure mate, I'm planning on doing the same.

 

Thinking of mixing red/orange juice beforehand , and topping up with lemonade for fizz when I get there(with ice and fruit of course)

The ECM improving is massive, given the GFS will be all over the place for the next few days. V happy with that.
