The weather forecast has been real 'edge of your seat' stuff this year.

I'm still predicting no rain for the weekend

Anyone know where to pick up some ponchos?

do the pink moon showers be open during afternoon/evening on the friday too?

Latest GFS chart is nice downgrade of rain for Saturday with anything heavy clearing by 2pm or 3pm. We'll get high resolution charts in a while but if this GFS run is accurate it is a move in the right direction!!

Some of the questions now are starting to veer in this direction ..

Arne_Saknussem

So i'm assuming Le Galaxie Soundsystem will be Le Galaxie with James Murphy & Co thrown into the mix?

Dealz was a treasure trove for stuff yesterday. Got a fisherman's hat for if it rains, 4 ponchos, 2 water pouches for drink and a light, foldable backpack for brining cans to the Salty Dog etc - all for €7.50.

any chance you can bring a board down and do an onsite forecast saturday around lunchtime?

I am reminded of B&S , maybe 4/5 years ago. There had been some rain-nothing significant, but some. Then on saturday afternoon, the blackness appeared on the horizon. We went back to our tent and wondered what to do. There was going to be a deluge. We sat there for about an hour and a half and watched the biggest blackest cloud you could image pass across the horizon and miss ballinlough by what can only have been a kilometre or three... the sun came back out and stayed for the rest of the weekend! #EP16

I had my four year old down at the rave in the woods last year. I let him ramble off for a couple of hours to do his own thing. He's very independent. But I always, ALWAYS, make sure his phone is fully charged.

Metcheck has updated to show a drastic fall in the amount of rain forecast on Saturday (like 7mm vs about 20 from a day or 2 ago)
