Almost every other country I've been to, weather forecasts seem to be much more consistent and reliable. Over here it literally changes by the hour, often swinging from heatwave to biblical rain in a heartbeat If I can (mis)remember my A level Geography, it's because the UK is affected by wind or weather coming in from four or five different directions. Polar maritime / polar continental Something else and something else from the south. And maybe another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was however in trainers for the entire festival and rhe ground was fine the entire time. Yes I arrived Friday morning and was not a patch of mud.

Arrowman Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 I'll take the flack for this one guys, been wearing my new walking boots to wear them in before the festival... But after some stunning runs, thought I'd switch it up and wear my old trainers today, get my feet settled into those. Back to walking boots tomorrow.

And GFS is often thought to be a less reliable system and changes all the time - the fact that ECM and UKMO are also showing same trend overnight is what is really prompting the panic. If they were sticking positive, we could ignore the GFS runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR10416 Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 Still time to make a few more weather god sacrifices. My personal contribution being accidentally snapping my sunglasses last week and holding out on the temptation to buy a fresh and black tent.

rlandy95 Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 I think its still really important to note though that we are still in unreliable timeframes. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are still 9, 10 & 11 days away and with any forecasting at those timeframes its just too volatile and uncertain. For all we know in 3 days time the GFS, ECMWF, UKMO, GEM & ICON could all be forecasting 30º weather across those days. The models are constantly falling in & out of agreement! Also, as wonderful as it is looking at the ops runs, the ensembles often tell of a bigger picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physical_graffiti Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 fantastic last run. Follows the warm and dry trend, and as it's impossible to predict specific weather a week in advance, I'm totally ignoring wednesday, which is just the model attention seeking because it has a sad little life.

SighMo Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 1 hour ago, balti-pie said: Ive always dreaded setting up a tent in the pissing wet rain, and finally had to do so at Bearded Theory - and you know what, it really wasnt that bad at all. It concentrated my efforts at getting the bloody thing up in quick time, but when it was the majority of bits to do can all be done inside the tent, and it was absolutely fine. So the worst case scenario happened, and it wasnt that bad!?!? I was the same until I had to set up two tents in the pouring rain at EOTR last year; my mate was in plaster. I knew it would be wet so dressed accordingly. Head down and went for it. Probably quickest I’ve done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never want to do that again. I also have someone else's tent with me this year that I need to pitch after carrying in. Ideally some nice cool, overcast and dry weather but just not heavy rains would be good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a garage - Bikes, Car parts and “good” tools only! It’s got posters and motorsport banners everywhere and a single stool so I can stare at my bikes with a J. All shite in deep storage, gardening stuff & “boring” tools (diy stuff) gets piled up in my decrepit shed.
