Weather 2017

[Jugtanion]

Well, that forecast has potentially extended my partying by 2 hours a day vs the mud of last year when the tent was so attractive. So that's 10 extra hours of Glastonbury 2017. There is a (weather) god!

All I saw was lower pressure and fronts coming over...up where I live that means clouds and rain

Not necessarily. Not all fronts are rain bearing.

With all the excitement over the Countryfile forecast, JackOne has chosen the same moment to release his latest forecast.

TL;DR Pretty much the same as Countryfile. His summary: "Still looking pretty good for Glastonbury 2017, but not quite as good as suggested yesterday, and certainly not as warm."

MeteoGroup, starting in the latter half last year ...

Like i said, where do you think most of the met data originates from? Meteogroup are the same as any other met company, they have forecasters etc.... but they all need accurate obs data to analyse and forecast on.

Tuesday is when accuracy kicks in for the five days of the festival; still looking fine from what I see

The Norwegians have got it spot on. Sunny and warm when we're bimbling around without any real purpose and then cooler and sheltered from the sun when we're busy packing in the bands.

bloody perfecto!!

Frigging doing my nut in now! One minute it's the hotest Glasto ever next it's gonna be raining a couple of the days.... Make your mind up haha 

A dry lead up is very important tho and we seem to have that

Pre heatwave we would have said this forecast would have been perfectly acceptable, while there is rain there's not enough to cause a problem. 

After spending two days in hot humid weather with the prospect of at least 3/4 more days of this I'm actually going to be looking forward to some cooler stuff.

I put faith in the Norwegians for my weather forecasts in day to day life. 

I have no reason to do anything else for this week

Isn't this saying there's a 5% chance of a very small amount of rain falling? I like those odds.

latest gfs run shows a load of rain, fuck it last one yesterday i saw showed no rain, you know what? these people? gavs weather vids? netweather? the norweigens? they dont have a fucking clue and im fed up of pandering to them, if they had a clue it wouldnt be changing on a daily fucking basis. 

This exactly they have no idea other than what tomorrow's weather will be like! This is my seventh Glasto and every one has had significant rain. This one will be the same there will be sun as well But as for Fri,Sat & Sun they are just guessing. 

The fact that I've been glued to this thread for two weeks when I know theres no way of predicting accurate weather more than one or two days in advance just shows that I'm a complete moron!

It does seems to be turning a bit after the last couple of positive days.

And it will do again. Stay seated, we're not done yet.

Metcheck!!!  is this the Metcheck that tells us its 55 degrees then the next day it's 4 inches of snow. Ffs, I'd rather trust the Daily Mail on matters of compassion, kindness and social equality.
