kalifire Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I've popped into Frome town centre for my traditional ill-advised drink or two the night before. Shit me, it's hot. If it's like this tomorrow I doubt I'll venture much out of the shade until the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasto Weatherwatch Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 GFS 12z rolling out now. Wednesday - dry, but some hefty rain 100 miles or so north of site. Thursday - showing some very light rain in the morning, clearing into a dry afternoon and evening. Friday - dry. Saturday - showing the lowest level of rainfall all day, which is 0.1mm - so likely very cloudy rather than any rain. So cloudy basically, cloud breaking in the pm. Sunday - dry. Still some disagreement between GFS and Met Office on how fronts will move in, but similar outcome - very low rainfall across the weekend. Again, plenty of risk over next few days but generally very positive outlook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm not sure how weather works, but I know the Saturday just gone was predicted to be a scorcher from the start of last week and it was, so I'm happy to trust the forecasts now as being relatively accurate and even the worst ones are pretty pretty good.

Nobody Interesting Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 It's going to be perfect festival weather - just a little bit too warm for my liking tomorrow. Still my sweat will soften the ground and help the tent pegs go in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lubic Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I know its meant to be a scorcher tomorrow, but just remember the temps are going to drop off by the weekend. It's already cloudy, breezy and 19° in West Yorks, and to be honest it feels pretty chilly after the last few days. So don't get too carried away - remember to pack some layers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daconor91 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 BBC app is currently saying that the only bit of rain over the entire festival is the early hours of Thursday morning, which is when most people will be sleeping. So there will hopefully be next to no mud this year so fuck it the wellies stay home! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
