[Lucanesque]

Waaaay too early, although if someone has premium access to Metcheck then you get access to 300 day forecast updated daily.

I have inside info from a more than reliable source on glasto 2010 weather . He said you could put your mortgage on it .

Sunny periods with some cloud cover , with the chance of rain , oh and it will be dark at night.

[Neville Street]

Not dark at night again, it always does that at Glastonbury

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

Dead? *Gets coat..*

[Deepsky]

meh.

Tbh.

That is all.

[Kyelo]

Not fussed this year. I usually take my Muckboots to festivals but this year only shorts and trainers. If it is muddy, f*ck it! I'm going tribal brown!

[glastofreak]

hasn't this been started already

[Deepsky]

basically, it's not going to be as bad as 2005.

Therefore, it'll be fine.

Sun.plz.

[Josepipe]

Such is my obesession, that sometimes instead of dreaming about glastonbury, i dream about watching the weather forecast for glastonbury! Or looking at the bbc weather page.

Last dream i had said it was going to be quite cool (16-18 degrees) but dry. You heard it here first.

PS, More of the same from 08 and 09 would be just great!

Yes - far too early.

If last summer and the recent cold patch have taught us anything it's that long and medium range weather forecasting is a very inexact science based ona lot of guesswork.

As such we'll know nothing worthwhile until around 10 days before the festival.

My guess is that when that time comes they'll be some sun, a bit of cloud and a chance of showers.

I've been to 5 Glastos and yet to have one where it didn't rain at all...

Severe winter usually means blazing summer.... fingers crossed (but not too hot, I hope for a nice 27/28)

Hope I don't jinx it

Bad Winter = Great Summer

Unless you live in the Arctic Circle in which case

Bad Winter = Bad Summer

[Deepsky]

I wish it worked like that.

the global average temperature could reach a record high in 2010, according to the UK's Met Office.

Forecasters predict that the annual figure for 2010 will be 14.58C (58.24F), 0.58C (1.04F) above the long-term average of 14.0C (57.2F).

They say the combination of climate change and a moderate warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean are set to drive up temperatures next year.

The current record record is 14.52C (58.14F), which was set in 1998.

"The latest forecast from our climate scientists shows the global temperature is forecast to be almost 0.6C above the 1961-90 long-term average," a Met Office statement said.

"This means that it is more likely than not 2010 will be the warmest in the instrumental record that dates back to 1860."

However it added: "A record warm year in 2010 is not a certainty, especially if the current El Nino was to unexpectedly decline rapidly near the start of 2010, or if there was a large volcanic eruption.

"We will review the forecast during 2010 as observation data become available."

The Met Office, in collaboration with the University of East Anglia, maintains one of the three global temperature records that is used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Warming world

The current record year, 1998, was dominated by an "extreme El Nino" condition - the warming of surface waters in the eastern Pacific that releases heat stored in the deep ocean into the atmosphere, raising temperatures globally.

Earlier this week, the Met Office and the World Meteorological Organization said that the first decade of this century was "by far" the warmest since the instrumental record began.

Their analyses also showed that 2009 would almost certainly be the fifth warmest in the 160-year record.

Burgeoning El Nino conditions, adding to man-made greenhouse warming, had pushed 2009 into the "top 10" years, the organisations explained.

Just because we might have a warmer average temperature doesnt mean it wont be an utter monsoon at glasto.

[jonbob]

As such we'll know nothing worthwhile until around 2 days before the festival.

I don't really care about the weather but I want it to be nice and sunny. But if it is miserable then i'll be fine with it.

Usually the week up till glasto I view the BBC Weather page for Worthy Farm every five minutes. I become obsessed. But right now I don't care.
