I just said to my watts app group in the last 2 weeks or so ive needed to water the garden daily apart from maybe 2 days .... ok the weather aint breaking any temperature records but no disaster at the moment , despite the Nals best attempts to maintain the same negative schtick hes been doing on here for years one day he might get bored with the windups . ive been in shorts for last few weeks with no issue 

 

I recently started living out in the sticks, and my dog walking route / the route to my local pub involves walking through lots of fields and woodland. Even with the weather being as rough as it's been lately, the ground feels bone dry. Even after a particularly wet day, it recovers far quicker than I imagine most people would expect.

We just need to avoid a tonne of rain when we're all on the farm.

yeah totally agree , and even on wet days it can and does dry out enough after to be able to be sat on again

To be fair hels it's going to rain next week for sure down there, but it all looks pretty showery mixed with sunshine.

 

No absolute wash-out days at all.

Its absolutely shat it down at about 5am this morning on the Levels. But its been dry with bursts of rather hot sun all day. 

 

After making the mistake of looking at the BBC's next two weeks, I now only forecast by looking out my window with a glace to the east.

Why does everyone keep posting the current weather wherever they are? What's the weather going to be like for the festival is all the matters!

 Im pretty local and the state on the build up does have a significant bearing on the weekend of.

Because it balances out some negativity on this thread while people could and should be getting excited for the festival in 18 days time

Its sunny here in Dublin today!

 

This thread borders on insanity and is indicative of the decline of western society.

Not all over the pyramid field in the build up

Strange. Perhaps anticipating some activity there over the run up to the festival and getting it down as a precaution given the rain forecast for coming days. Not like there will be much footfall there on Wednesday or Thursday so would have thought they could have done it then if conditions did end up being bad and their concern was for during the festival

Really important not to go too early, but still good. Dry on the Tuesday and 22-23 degrees.

You could say it's a bit of a ... knife edge?

This is the update to the map I posted this morning, so panic over. I get annoyed with myself every year for getting freeked out by one Fantasy Island run.
