RAIN AND DRIZZLE is set to make way for largely dry weather this weekend for the Electric Picnic festival.
The festival is celebrating 20 years and close to 75,000 people are expected to attend the festival in Stradbally, Co Laois.
Some attendees will arrive at the camp tonight, where festival goers will attempt to break the world record for the largest ‘Rock the Boat’ dance.
Outbreaks of rain and drizzle are due to clear this afternoon, leaving behind drier conditions with sunny spells.
It will continue dry into the night with clear spells.
Met Éireann forecasts that a dry day is in store tomorrow, with a mix of cloud and sunny spells and top temperatures of 21 degrees.
It will remain dry in Laois on Friday night, though there will be scattered light showers on Saturday morning.
However, the afternoon will bring dry and sunny spells with highest temperatures of 20 degrees.
This dry weather will continue into Saturday night and clouds with some sunny spells is expected on Sunday morning.
And though scattered showers will develop throughout Sunday morning, this will make way for sunny spells during the afternoon and evening with top temperatures of 21 degrees.
However, the weather will take a turn for those making their way home from Electric Picnic on Monday morning.
Light rain and drizzle on Sunday night could turn into heavy outbreaks of rain on Monday morning.
Meanwhile, Alan O’Reilly of Carlow Weather remarked that the sun will be out in Stradbally come 5pm this evening and that tomorrow will be a “very good day with some good sunny spells”.

O’Reilly said Saturday will also be a “pretty good day”, and while there will be more clouds, there will be sunny spells and only a slim chance of a passing shower.
And while there is a higher chance of scattered showers on Sunday, O’Reilly said it will still be a “good day with sunny spells” and that it could hold dry until Monday lunch time.

I just simply ran a cable under the Irish sea to a friend’s in Wales and hooked up to their box with a splitter.
Try a vpn way cheaper
Genius ;)
Lol u live up to ur name cupid!
Simply install AnonymouX and you can change your ip address to a UK one and watch BBC online if you so wish.
Tips and tricks 2015
Just use a proxy/VPN. I use ZenMate from the Chrome Web Store. It’s free and you can change your IP address to one from the UK, US, Germany, Romania or Hong Kong.
Hola is a service that tacks on to your browser and changes you to the US or UK at the touch of a button.
I use hola on the lap top and my iPhone. It’s great for netflix and I’ve never had a problem with it
You just risk someone else looking at dodgy content on your ip address that could land you in trouble. Never heard of Zenmate. Does the same risk apply and does it work on iOS??
You could just not look at ‘dodgy content’. Or if you have to look whatever that is, just do it when you don’t have the vpn turned on and just let Eircom/UPC look at your ‘dodgy content’.
The way Hola works is someone in another country could be looking at all sorts if stuff but yet the cops will knock on your door.
I’ve read my post 3 times now and I still can’t understand how you misunderstood it???
@Darren – re-read Bob’s initial comment, he’s correct in what he’s saying.
Why not just throw a £5 paywall on it for people outside the UK?
RTE could make a buck by doing the same, they’ll probably ruin it though, and get greedy.
They’d actually make a good bit on it, with the positive reaction to the hurling on Sky last year.
I only watch it for the Angelus myself.
Because nobody would pay to watch Fair City…
Fairly Sh!tty :)
And this is why God invented IP proxy services. I can happily watch BBC and US Netflix from the comfort of my sitting room. The world and technology is changing quicker than regulation can keep up!
F*ck the story, isn’t my angel Benedict looking beautiful?
I thought I’d find you letching here…
You can get all the UK channels at filmon.com for free, streaming in real time. Many other country’s channels too, works great in Ireland.
Hola Unblocker is brilliant! I watch BBC, CBS, Hulu with no problems.
+1
Hold works great. Watched the whole world snooker championship with no stoppages
if only there were some way to use a proxy to fool the BBC website into thinking your browser originates in the UK. But as far as I know no such technology exists and we will have to make do with RTE…
No one is saying there’s no way around it now! But obviously it would be far better if you didn’t have to find a back door in the first place.
That said, what on earth does “cross-border access to the content [...but not...] wanting to destroy this principle of territoriality” mean? He didn’t think that might need a little clarification?
Bismarck would be happy
Does anyone care??!!!!
Yes. The hundreds of thousands of us who use Netflix from Ireland, for example.
Yes you pay for a service that shafts you even before you start to watch. European version of netflix is terrible. The American version has way more content. Hence your getting shafted. Get what you can for free. It’s always better when it’s free.
Type stream into Google. Whatever happens after that is up to you
And they wonder why there’s piracy. Take what you can get after all even if your a good law abiding citizen your still going to get shafted all the way to the bank. Thats a fact. So don’t start with the smart comments. Just enjoy life. After all one way or another we’re all getting robbed ripped off and scammed. If you worry you die. If you don’t worry you still die. Enjoy life
Hidninja vpn …problem solved ..
I have iPlayer on my Sky box and I swear, I may have used it once in the past 3 months. You’re not missing too much.
I recently rented a book from the library, The Gym Bible , I was so impressed with it I decided I would buy it online , when I searched for it I discovered that it could be downloaded for free, happy days until it said that content was not available to download outside of America. I did but it in the end online for €20 but if i didnt have to i wouldnt have .
ExPat Shield is brilliant for changing your IP address to a UK one. Works perfectly for BBC or ITV players.
Their blocking UK based vpns now as well.
have your say
