    Hi all,

    What would be the best website that would give the most accurate weather predictions for Punchestown next weekend?

    Also for all you experts how much rainfall would be needed this week before the place turns to slush?

    Cheers.

    M.T. Cranium gives very good forecasts on this very forum http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055579971. He gives todays and the following few days forecasts and I've found them pretty reliable and as good as you're going to get! Obviously the closer to the day you look at the forecast the more reliable it'll be. At the moment his forecast for the weekend is:

    THE WEEKEND should be a mixed bag but not as showery as this past weekend, and possibly a little above 20 C each day, at least away from the coasts.

    Getting some mixed forecasts from the ten day weather forecasts. Some sunny but cloudy others showery... Too soon for anything reliable.

    MET EIREANN Forecast for the weekend

    THURSDAY, THURSDAY NIGHT : Mainly or completely dry, at most just perhaps a few light showers. Variable cloud cover. Northwesterly winds gradually dying away. Continuing cool - temperatures 18 to 20 C at best by day, and falling below 10 C in many areas at night (could drop to 6 or 5 C in sheltered parts, especially Thursday night). FRIDAY. SATURDAY : Staying dry through Friday in some areas - especially further east - but cloud and rain gradually moving in from the Atlantic during Friday or early Saturday:mad::mad::mad:, and giving some heavy rain in places. Falls of up to 20 or 30 mm possible:eek::eek::eek:. Clearer drier weather following from the southwest during Saturday or Saturday night. Breezy or windy at times - freshening southeasterly winds as the rain moves in, veering west or southwest as the clearer weather follows. Becoming a little warmer again after the cool midweek weather.

    So ye cooler but rain always a possibility .....SO YE IM DEFINETELY BRINGING ME WELLIES!

    Looks like the rain will start at the same time as the first acts get on stage on Friday, it will then build up into a crescendo of heavy downpours with wild winds as the main acts take stage on saturday and then gradually ease off as the festival winds down on Sunday.

    You see - mcd shouldn't have messed with boards!:D Boards controls the weather!:p

    just a note to all not from kildare.
    was down at oxegen yesterday for a sneaky look (all the bands were practising :D) and the ground is quite dry but ALOT of dry muck everywhere which means once it starts rainin its likely to flood :(... be VERY prepared especially if your travelling far..

    Bring a old pair of boots and you can swap them for wellies for free at the schuh stand. There going cleaning up all old shoes received and sending them out to third world countries.

    yes the amount of disposed wellies from when i was down there was amazing. btw heard there was bedlam after the AC DC gig last week. there was a piece in it in trib about it. same story about people getting buses back from venue. seems to be a recurring problem this year
