Anyone know of good, free weather websites? Just wondering, as its my
yearly outing to the Glastonbury Festival on wednesday - and I wanted a
bit of advance knowledge on what to expect..

I have some info for wednesday/thursday - showers and sun, and sunshine
respectively, but I was kinda hoping for a longer reaching forecast

fingers crossed for sunshine like last year :smile: any help is appreciated...

Cheers for all the links guys.. it looks pretty much like there will be
sunshine, with cloud - and the occasional shower scattered here and
there :smile:

A bit like last year then, I suppose :biggrin:

rubs hands in anticipation (i should stop doing this, ill have no skin left.. :razz: )

But expect the sun to last as long as last year, apparently, our heat wave is already nearly over, some how this reminds me of the day after tomorow, but on a lower scale :sad:

Really, a filter? f**king asswipe censors. s**t.

edit: Ah... I kind of see how it works... It replaces the entire word with a string. For example, the s in s**t was capitalized, but now it's not.

Haha, Melbourne weather. Rain and 15-degree weather can - and will - occur in any season, but this is partially balanced by the three randomly placed 35-degree days during the other seasons. It's impossible to plan for any event, and don't you dare say the word "barbecue" outside on a fine sunny day. Wednesday is always rainy and cold.

actually no, not in the US anyways..

we have all the climates you can imagine by default though..

the terrain is a major deciding factor in weather.. with elevation and the jet stream being determining factors.

you would have to imagine how the US is setup, from west, to east..

moisture comes in predominately from the west, via washington/oregon (north), and baja california/texas (south) and everything proceeds east from those two points.

the rockies block the lions share of the moisture from reaching the midwest.. but anything coming in from texas usually dumps a lot from midwest eastward.

as for monsoons.. nope, but oregon/washington get a s**tload of rain because of said mountains.

arkansas gets most of its rainfall in the winter.

and that.. was your meteorological lesson for today :heee:

I wish we would get some rain here (although i live on the coast it
rains a little it needs to rain in the catchment area on the other side
of the mountain range :/).

Were in the worst drought ever recorded at the moment most dams (main
water supply) are below 40% capacity and the last 'worst ever recorded'
one was in 1994 some parts out west of here have had little/no rain
since 94 :sad: (the main farming region for crops) one problem with that
is basic fruit/veg/meat is starting to get pretty expensive. So send us
some rain plz! :smile:

Yes, real time is cool. Like when all the English people in chat rooms suddenly can't type at 6:00 EST. Which would mean it's around midnight in England, meaning the most likely explanations for their sudden lack of typing prowess (these would be people who can type, mind you) are:

1. They are tired.

OR

2. Many of them just got back from the pub.

:heee:
