mikeydredlox Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Celebrate the good. Ignore the bad. Ignore the Nal. If it hammers down at the festival get under cover and drink enough cider until you stop caring. Have a great time everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlandy95 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 4 minutes ago, Jacko45 said: I'm genuinely not trying to be negative, the vibes were immaculate start of the week. It's just numerous runs from different sources are now predicting a much cooler / wetter festival disappointingly. I think its good to look across all the runs, but again bear in mind the ensembles as opposed to just one singular op run. This was for the 00Z run and we should have the ensemble for the 06Z run later today (so it will be interesting as to where this run has sat) but we can see from the 00Z run that the op run was going pretty strongly below the mean, its also more of an outlier. Theres a fair few runs still going for something over 1010mb of pressure. Also again, as wonderful as GFS is it isn't as high resolution and it does get postionings wrong, and it can't as accurately pinpoint localised rain as say the ECMWF. But as with this every year, what is happening now will likely not be an acurate reflection of what it's going to be on the models in 4 days time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great time everyone. So many times I've had to have a word with myself after sulking, due to waking up to the sound of rain on the tent. When you realise that everyone's in the same position and you make peace with that fact, it can be a great leveller and some of my best Glastonbury experiences have been in unfavourable weather. Galvanise yourself, put on the appropriate clothes and lean into it, whatever the conditions. When you're past caring about things beyond your control, it's very liberating. Sure, we all have preferred weather, but come rain or shine, everything's gonna be alright. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pain in the backside not being able to plonk your ass for a few mins on the ground . Sometimes need to take a little time out (medical needs ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well ask one of the Mystic Meg fortune tellers in the Green Fields; her guess would be as good as these GFS charts Feverish rollercoaster of Drivel. That’s a good band name.

You'd think so, but there's no 'fun' in that 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a supermarket bag for life, one of the good ones, cutdown both sides and opened out flat. Easily folded back up and gives a decent surface to sit on. Even in dry conditions it stops you accidentally sitting on the remains of a pizza that’s hidden in the grass! this is a farmfoods one, other supermarkets available Edited June 20 by Ayrshire Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people get out the way or make negative comments etc Almost always very good. Sometimes hard to get to a mobility platform at headliner time, but generally fine. Had one incident when a lad was showing off to his mates and jumped on the back. I think he was trying to force me to do a wheelie, but flipped the whole thing backwards. His mates absolutely ripped him a new one and made sure that I was OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
