  1. Yeah, mainstream forecasters apparently (this is according to Nate Silver) "bump up" rain, showing it as more likely than it is too, because readers will be more annoyed if its forecast no rain, and it rains, than vice versa
  2. Bit confused at what people are complaining about now. The ensembles now have us looking at extremely minimal rain all days. Latest ECMWF also has that Saturday band of rain missing us.
  3. Stupid question, but I'm a first timer: the email/info implies everyone keeps their festival tickets after passing through Gate A. Is that correct?
  4. I've been looking back through historical weather data and 2014 looks like it might be a worst case scenario for us (although I think the rain started earlier than its due to this year). There also appeared to be little rainfall in the build-up, like this year, meaning the ground was dry. Anyone confirm/deny this? Thoughts? Feelings? Should I fuck off?
  5. So...for those with expertise and experience in such matters... how much rain can a bone dry Worthy Farm take on a Friday/Sat/Sun of festival before it becomes a mudbath? (Feel free to send me packing to the weather thread if you feel this is bringing (bogging) us down)
  6. Any ideas what's going on with the Spike? Do they not normally announce their line-up?

    Secret sets 2022

    Much as I'd love to see The Smile, I suspect that flying back for one show might not sit well (environmentally) with them. Anyone checked the Eurostar timetable?

    Secret sets 2022

    This might be the case with the Chems. They also played a full live show in 2019, so would never have been considered to do the same again this time (given you probably have to also chuck more money at them to do the live show vs dj). Re: Hopkins, his last album was basically ambient music, and he's been touring it at places like the Albert Hall. I don't think it would work at Glasto. He's also sort of semi-transitioning back to music-with-beats through the process of dj'ing (as far as I can work out), so I think is very much enjoying dj'ing atm, and certainly sees that as an important part of his arsenal.
  9. Lovely update. The question is...how hard is a chocolate coated flapjack? Is it fresh out of the oven?
  10. Time to get the key out? No not like that. Like this:
  11. ECMWF unfolding here is an absolute horror show: https://apps.ecmwf.int/webapps/opencharts/products/medium-mslp-rain?base_time=202206181200&interval=6&projection=opencharts_europe&valid_time=202206241800 I'm out. Gonna stop checking this thread
  12. FFS - Current ECMWF is now showing rain throughout Thursday
  13. I'd take this run - there's rain flying around particularly on Friday, but there's no massive band of rain that just sits over the west for a entire day. The temps are also warm enough that the rain shouldn't be horrible. "Better than horrible" is my only requirement for the weekend
  14. Anyone understand jetstreams? Watching them unfold on the latest run is interesting, even though I can only guess at what their changes bring about. Could become a new area for us to speculate on and worry about?
  15. Looking at the latest GFS unfolding it seems there's a fair bit of certainty over what will happen up until Tuesday, but then there are so many different areas of pressure battling it out that I can see (even though I know nothing about this) why there's so much uncertainty/changeability in the forecasts.
  16. Next run has started. Strap in
  17. Latest EC is also shit. Game over. Tickets on ebay.
  18. Suspect this thread is about to hit the big time
  19. Last gfs run a shocker. Game over?
  20. Still way way too soon to be sure of anything from Friday onwards. But Weds and Thus are starting to look promising at least....
  21. ECMWF is running. Looks like more potential for showers Mon-Weds than previously. Only up to Weds at the moment
  22. As fa Haha - the rain and sea level pressure is what I'm focused on. It has what appears to be an entirely dry festival (until Sunday lunch, when it stops). Obviously a lot of this is too far away to be accurate. However, its giving us what look like fairly good drying conditions early next week.
