I am pretty sure they do a glasto forecast nearer the time aswell, in fact I know they do - they usually start about a month in advance and update it daily to reflect the updated weather models that come out every 6 hours.

I like the sound of this:

From what I can tell, the jet stream has shifted back north again - its this that has brought all the wet weather the last two summers. This should make for a more settled Azores high and a much better summer.

Incidentally, does anyone have a strategy for stopping people from discovering that old page on Metcheck with the nonsense numbers on it, then posting a new thread on here to share the hilarity? :rolleyes: If I see one more I think it will actually spur me into complaining to Metcheck and asking them to take it down!!!

God I'm late visiting this thread this year - 10 pages already!

Anyway - I've become obsessed by the jet stream since last year and have found this which I'll now obsess over daily until the festival:

... if you go to 'North Atlantic - Latest Available' it shows you where the jet is at the moment:

As of today (22 April) it shows the jet tracking to the north = the lovely weather we're having.

Just needs to STAY THERE goddammit........

Over here, before the May Day parades, the4y sent planes up to drop chemicals on the clouds to disperse them, guaranteeing lovely sunny, dry weather.

Given the compromises Glastonbury makes, and the fact we're all agreed it hasn't sold out, what about that :lol:

actually, I've got it. I'll gt hold of some of these chemiclas, then we send them up on the Wednesday night via those sky lantern things from the stone circle. Best of all worlds.

You'd better be quick with the lanterns before someone finds a nasal home for those chemicals...

Forget long range forecasts.

A man came yesterday to paint the outside walls of my house. He said: "The weather forecast for today is for rain but it promises to be sunny tomorrow so how about we leave it for today and I come back tomorrow?"

I didn't argue and away he went. Twenty minutes later the clouds disappeared and we had a wonderful sunny day.

He came back this morning, on the day that sun was forecast, and it's raining.

If we can't get it right on the day or for the next day, what chance of realistically predicting two months ahead?

    • So, what would the weather have been like at this year's festival?   It's been shambolic around here, the rain is soul destroying and showing no sign of letting up, bar odd sporadic days here and there. Disgraceful for June.   What's it like down there? Have we had a lucky escape?...

    • belated thanks for this ended up going, was a good evening and a great venue with a cracking beer selection (give the festival a few tips on that). Never been in before despite reasonably local.       Main takeaways from the film (as someone who didnt go for much later). The festival has changes a lot since then apart from the Green Fields that looked the exact same.  Me and my mate both agreed that Shambala is today than Glastonbury.   Cool piece of merch aswell.
