This one is interesting as it more clearly shows the breakdown of the hot, dry spell somewhere Tuesday / Wednesday, which is a little further forward than before.  

So as suspected from as far back as a week ago, we've missed the good weather by a week and it is going to rain. 

Now its just a question of how much. Metcheck say every day, starting Sunday.

I reckon it's going to be mainly sunny with a couple of showers; not enough to churn the ground up as it won't be torrential during the build-up.

NEXT!

Close the thread.

If thats the storm of 2014.... That was my favourite day at the festival. Sunburnt, a top storm, Arcade Fire.

As long as there isnt a shower between 5am and 8am Wednesday morning when I am sitting in the queue I'm happy.

 

Except for if there is rain on the thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday - Then I'll be furious.

I've corrected that for you.

I know theres more security checks but  a 10 hour queue is a bit extreme

Don't worry people, this doombringer above is trying to mask the fact that we will have perfect festival weather.

Yes there is rain forecast every day but its very minimal either late at night or early morning

Solid ground, warmish temperatures and good cloud cover to minimise sunburn, slight bit of moisture at times when the site won't be busy to keep dust at bay.

It may be cooler as we progress into the festival but we'll be in busy crowds at that point so it won't be uncomfortable and probably quite refreshing.

Yep, gutted we missed it. As you say it is how much rain and if the ground can dry quick enough

I don't believe there's rain forecast tues, weds or thurs?

Latest gfs run certainly doesn't indicate so.

Not till you look at the quantity forecast, barely 1mm in total. It will be nice and refreshing without creating rivers or swamps. The times forecast mean during the day people can sit on the grass and the nights bring the moisture to keep the ground in good condition. 

Optimism people! Don't lose the faith yet

Rain is a bit of a stretch, drizzle is more appropriate.

Timings of said rain more important than amount for me.

The ground clearly has the capability to absob quite a bit following this dry spell - and as long as the initial shower isnt heavy and cause flooding before the ground starts its sponging the lamount of rain isnt as big of a factor

However if the rain hits at peak footfall travel times itll still cause issues.

My weather app of choice has turned a little sour for all of next week.
