Michelle Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 yr.no gives it fine and very warm on Friday evening too: http://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/England/Stratford/long.html Um, that forecast actually looks rather poor, with rain. And their forecast for London after Saturday is depressing. I really hope it's warmer than 17C come next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 BBC forecast has just changed, now showing thundery downpours and rain showers well into Friday evening. I give up, never known a forecast for a particular day to change so much. It's like the weather gods are playing with us. Let's just wait till Friday, as no doubt the forecast will change another 50 times before the big day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 They seem to have no clue as to what the weather will do, even now. I think they won't know until the day arrives. But it's not Friday that bothers me anymore, it's the entire first week. The weather looks awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattygs Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Certainly is strange weather, latest report I saw had the met office downgrading rain reports from Friday evening, saying if there is any rain it should pass by Friday arvo - I dunno, best just to ignore and see what happens when coverage starts.

Exactly. I'm obsessing over weather forecasts - all we can do is wait and see and make the best of whatever comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tickle Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Im totally obsessed. I keep telling myself theres nothing I can do, but I keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Lol - exactly Davey - I think the different forecasts show that in the case of any rain falls, that they will be very limited to an area... It can be that in one street it is raining and in the next one not... Or that in one borough is light rain in the next not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Here is the latest forecast from the MetOffice in the UK @ 4pm on Friday. They are hoping that by 9pm, the showers will have passed, but are still uncertain about this. Forecast seems to be deteriorating however. The worst part is that up until 2pm in London on Friday its to be beautiful, and then Saturday will be another relatively sunny day. It seems the period between 4pm and 11pm on Friday is still uncertain, with risk of thundery showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOUIS Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 "The long-awaited summer spell is forecast to continue on Thursday and, for London and the south, into Friday with previous warnings about rain affecting the Olympics' opening ceremony on Friday night now downgraded. The Meteorological Office says the possibility remains but the signs are that any showers or possibly thundery downpours after high humidity will cross London on Friday afternoon and have moved on before the 9pm launch of the spectacular show." http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jul/25/london-2012-sunshine-high-temperatures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micheal_warren Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 The weather forecasts seem to be so unpredicatable! I have my fingers crossed it will be fine. Am just watching the start of the womens football between New Zealand and GBR and it looks nice and fine in Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 It appears as though the weather may cooperate come Friday. But according to accuweather.com, the Olympic outlook is grim I so hope this does not prove to be accurate or these really will be the overcast games :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 After years of following British weather forecasts I never believe those single picture representations of the daily weather. Most days I see cloud symbols for UK weather and in fact they turn out to be rather pleasant days with lots of sunshine. Most days dont normally turn out to be as grey as the pictures would suggest. The only thing I go by is the temperatures that are given around 3 days out. They are a generally quite accurate and a good represntation and of what the weather will at least feel like.

dhiren.doshi Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 The weather has changed again, showing improvement on bbc weather now. There is still hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 The weather has changed again, showing improvement on bbc weather now. There is still hope. It had been showing improvement and their latest video also showed improvement. Then an hour after the video posted, they updated the forecast for Friday again, to this I just feel they have no idea what the weather is going to do on Friday - as their updates change by the hour. It's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 The jet stream is on its way southwards yet again, which was not expected! That is why some websites are only showing temperatures of 14C on some of the afternoons for next week, specifically Tuesday - Thursday. Looks like the last few days in London will be long forgotten, come Monday :/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulhudson/2012/07/jet-stream-set-to-spoil-summer.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its a bid of magic Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think the endurance athletes i.e. marathon, cycling, triathlon will welcome the drop in temperatures and maybe a little rain - but the watching public will hope we don't get heavy continuous rain and hope they are brief and transient. The Opening Ceremony will just boil down to radar watching on the night itself. Nobody knows weather that 9pm-Midnight slot will turn out to be lucky or fall victim to sods law.
