It's out, still a 7

http://www.netweather.tv/forum/index.php?s...p;#entry1546085

Today's operational GFS charts are rather disappointing for the weekend of the festival with 2 of them going form a breakdown for the west, and one from the south. Unfortunately today there is a lack of ensembles available, and it is difficult to determine as to whether these charts are outliers. however going by recent ensembles and what ensembles are available for the runs today, it does seem as if they remain outliers, and as a result I am keeping the score at 7, even though some rain is possible over the weekend, it seems very likely the start of the festival will be dry and warm and this is closer to the reliable time frame.

Just looking at the GFS output for the most recent run (12z) there is a lot of rain forecasted for Saturday and Sunday :)

Click on GFS -> Europa -> >180 (along the bottom) > Neiderschlag (rain)

Then click on 192, 204, 216 etc to show projected rainfall moving up from France on Saturday.

Obviously it's a long way off so it's unlikely to happen just like that, but it's worrying that it's a possibility!

So some people say cloudy, some say rainy and others say scorchio. Can we maybe agree that noone knows yet and its advisable not to get too high or too low about the weather, either way it'll be ace anyway.

Although if we have to choose i believe scorchio.

Every year I subject myself to this tread and the roller-coaster of emotion it brings, I must be mad. It really feels as though we're back to 50/50 on the sun/rain chances now though :)

Looks just a little concerning at the mo, looks nice up until Saturday morning but then how much rain after that is anyones guess, even Jackones not sure and he knows it, we're still a few days away to be definite with anything.

From what I can scan from the present various forecasts, Wednesday to Friday looks warm and sunny for the festival but towards Saturday and Sunday you may need to unpack your wellies! However all are pretty sure it won't be monsoon stylee at any point of the fest. So the small amount of wet mud that may appear will probably dry up and vanish rapidly.

"The Weather always repays its debt."

The UK typically has good summers every 3 years, 2000 was a good year, 2003 also and 2006 was good as well.

On New Years day I made a prediction, that Glastonbury would be hot and dry and in less than a weeks time that is exactly what we'll have.

It's going to be dry and hot people!

Believe!!!!

Now that all the weather model outputs are published directly online it allows everyone to make their own conclusions on the choppy, changy, unreliable (especially one single run) models rather than the professional forecasters everyone would rely on 10+ years ago. Defintely leads to much more stress :)

    • Hilarious to describe this as suprising, for the guy who can't afford to go on holiday, the guy who goes on holiday is rich, for the guy who goes on holiday, the guy who gets 3 holidays a year is rich, for the guy who gets 3 holidays, the guy who stays in 5* hotels is rich, for the guy who stays in 5* hotels, the guy that flies business class is rich, for the guy who flies business class the guy with a private jet is rich etc..   I think one of the greens video's that they put out that went viral, Zacks description of "the rich" covered 12 people in the UK.

    • Funny the amount of "K*ll The Kardashians" shirts I see at Download that we could be a getting a member of that family headlining next year lol
    • There are similar articles on the IFS website. No one will be brave enough to spell it out and we've reached the limits on what we can borrow. The likely outcome is we'll carry on with a slow decline in services followed by a either a right wing govt or a public finance crisis. Both options lead to big cuts.
