Cooter Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Over the colder months I occasionally use an electric blanket for content fluffy nesting cozyness. I'm not 95 quite yet but it's the best thing I've ever bought. Anyway, the last couple of years I've put this thing into storage about late March time. This year I'm still powering it up mid June 3-4 nights a week ffs! Am wondering if there's a 12v model I can plug into my campervan! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gherkin8r Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 (edited) For those of you who know about such things - is the amount of rainfall the most difficult things to predict? ie 5 days ahead do we have a higher level of confidence around temperatures but less around rainfall? Considering revolutionizing the forecasting game by building my own models in excel Edited June 11 by gherkin8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyisRFC Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Seems like the general consensus on the apps/sites I’ve visited (will probably change 100 times before the festival) say frequent showers in the build up to the festival but nothing dramatic, I think the worst day was about 2mm of rain. The festival itself is looking ok though, no rain and high teens/low twenties in temperature. STICK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EavisAintDead Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Just been up the Tor and I can confirm it is an absolute stunner today. Was too hot in shorts and a light hoodie - would have been too warm in walking boots Left my phone at home but the site is looking glorious and really starting to come together 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the view of the site amazing up there? Always thought it'd be amazing to see the festival at night from The Tor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great photo from the Sunday last year - have never really seen it at night as the days are so long and I rarely go up there after 6 PM 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianH Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Next 7 days or so look cool and showery but not overly wet. After that, the GFS has started showing some signs of warmth - the risk being that it could bring more substantial rain with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You soon learn to spot where the festival site is even when it’s not built! The pyramid skeleton is easy to spot! took this Tor photo last year,hope it’s as nice in a few weeks time🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny T Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 When reading forecasts such as Accuweather, can someone help here. When it says 7.2mm of precipitation/rain, does this mean per hour or in total for that day?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 (edited) You cant see sh*t from the Tor. Amazing views of the countryside but you can barely see the festival site. YR have updated. Shocking. Edited June 11 by The Nal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think AccuWeather split it into day and night though on the monthly screen when you drill into a given date. Mine showing different numbers to yours though. This looks promising in the lead up to the festival lol Edited June 11 by gherkin8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seeing any heavy all day washouts in any of the forecasts for the next 10 days. Certainly not going to be dry, but looks like sunshine with showers, some for a few hours. But not full days worth of heavy rain etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not full days worth of heavy rain etc. The one standout takeaway from all the forecasters is their low confidence in anything they're predicting over the next 4 weeks. They're looking for signs of a bend in the jet stream which will bring warmer and drier weather....and basically they don't know when it will happen (if at all).

AdrianH Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 This is the sort of scenario the GFS is toying with during the festival week. A plume of heat but if the low pressure gets too close to us, it'll bring a lot of rain with it! All for fun at the moment anyway, another week and we'll start to get a bit more accuracy.

Ayrshire Chris Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Forecasts for the next week show the heaviest rain to the north and east, rest of the country showery and some sun. trying to keep positive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
