check www.netweather.tv for all your weather needs

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:

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?

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
