The (speculative) Weather Thread

[i0th]

Obviously the festival's far to far away to have an accurate weather forecast, hell it can be hard to be accurate in this country for more than a couple of days but fuck it. Accuweather currently has:

Thu 8/10 20°/11° 1 mm rain Clouds and sun with a shower
Fri 8/11 19°/11° 4 mm rain Partly sunny with a t-storm
Sat 8/12 20°/11° 0 mm rain Partly sunny
Sun 8/13 19°/12° 1 mm rain Periods of clouds and sun

Little hot for my taste, but I could live with something along those lines.

We haven't had a wet one for a while, I'm not looking forward to the year when luck runs out on that front.

Slightly overcast each day would do me just fine.

I got burnt to a crisp the last 2 years.

Bought a hat last year as got burnt the year before. It's wind that bothers me more than anything else though tbh, ruins the sound.

[Gandalf the Red]

Less than about 18 degrees, calm and showers will do me.

I certainly don't want hot weather. You can't sleep, you can't cool down and you get sunburnt/sunstroke.

And no wind as it affects the sound quality and if it's too windy it's probably the only weather that could totally ruin the festival by it getting cancelled.

We are usually pretty lucky with weather I think. Last time it for really wet was 2010

As long as it's not really humid and is mostly dry my main ask is that it be cloudy as fuck in the morning so my tent doesn't turn into an oven

[WorMzy]

So long as it's not a total washout during the day, and isn't arse-freezingly cold on a night, I'll be happy.

[Bizza]

As long as I'm not soaked through or melting then I'm good

[donotron]

I'm going to bring my Mac In A Sac. Pretty good if it starts raining, light and breathable and easy to pack away, not so much a burden to carry about. They are about 20 quid.
mind and bring your sun tan lotion in case its a roaster. check darksky app/page for weather closer to the time, pretty nifty

[Black Wizard]

Accuweather is a load of crap. Nobody has a clue what the weather will be beyond ten days and Accuweather is wasting people's time by providing daily forecasts four weeks in advance.

[Gandalf the Red]

You just need an Australian Weather Stone.

[Black Wizard]

They're more reliable than Accuweather.

2014 was pretty bad. Got a text halfway through Amon Amarth letting me know that my tent had collapsed.

[Jay1993]

Yeah I recall the Sunday of 2014 being pretty bad, I felt really ill during Amon Amarth but the flames did an amazing job of warming me up

Saturday in 2013 was bone dry - my only Bloodstock experience so far.
