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.

Re: The (speculative) Weather Thread
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.

Re: The (speculative) Weather Thread
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

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.

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

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

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.

You just need an Australian Weather Stone.

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.
Re: The (speculative) Weather Thread
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

Nah. There was a bit of rain in the afternoon (during Biohazard ISTR) and then it was a bit windy later on. Can't blame the weather for shoddy tent putting up.

That day it was boiling hot mostly as that's when I was feeling ill during Saxon and went for a lie down when Amon Amarth was on.

Ahh, 2010, AKA, Mudstock.
Yeah, let's not have that again.
