Is that from 6z GFS Scorp? Looks high pressure dominated with an easterly breeze kicking in but as we'll all be in the sheltered south west so i reckon temps of mid 20's with some scope or possibly slighlty higher! I noticed that Euro model has now moved more inline with UKMET today meaning the high sticks around over th UK much longer.... :(

Irrelevant. The significant winds and rain in the South West today was forecast. Swansea/Wales are copping it even more, it's downright depressing here in South Wales right now, but also the rain is passing through pretty quickly. From tomorrow, conditions look like picking up swiftly

Swansea is indeed copping it big time.

Looking at the flood warning radar though it is almost through, it appears to be dry in Pembrokeshire already.

The SW though does look pretty wet - but I don't think it will last long.

And as will said - it has been forecast.

It's raining rather a lot here in Bristol and i've now got very wet feet :( . Hopefully getting it all out the way now though....

I really do hate the anxious weather watching of the last week before the festival!

When checking Metcheck and its updates, can I please continue to lobby for people to use the general forecast for Glastonbury (town) (or maybe for BA4 4BY).

I mean as opposed to the 'Glastonbury Festival' one which people keep quoting -- the latter only covers a limited number of days, and gives less detailed information overall.

I have some barbed criticisms of Metcheck in general, but not of what it's showing on the 13:19 pm update today (Weds), wall to wall sunshine shown ...

That dark blue square of 8.9 mm of rain on the Tuesday before is clearly the after effects of their continuing crack habit, no models anywhere are really supporting that.

    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL. 
    • We've reasonably predicted/wanted a bill of Blink, Avril, Good Charlotte for a while 😅    I'm surprised that Good Charlotte's UK shows in November seem to be doing well atm... obviously if they sell out those venues then they should be subheadliners right? (if they play download that is). They'd only look a strong sub if it was before Blink though I rekn.
