When is the earliest we can find out what the weather will be for glasto? Will it be 5 days before on bbc website or is there an earlier option?

Phone the festival office, they should have this all organised by now but it wont' be publicised til the programme is available

[HurrahBrother]

Last year metcheck had a prediction on their website, it looked like the weather from another planet, going by the temperature, wind speed and pressure they were predicting, I'd say the planet was venus!

i have been sitting in my chair by my tent in pennards getting a tan when the sky darkened within minutes and rain came down that flattened some tents. we then awoke on the Friday to a river flowing through the tent.

Any guess on the year?

Spent plenty of time looking at this in the past and the best long range (10-14 day) forcast seems to be Metcheck. Short range seems to be the BBC.

I was on Pennard hill too that year jedpan, the flood stopped 15ft from my tent!

Whilst I understand what you're saying there is a big weather thread already in the main forum so you could just have searched to be fair.

[buftyonetime]

And just so were not running around in circles here none of the first few pages of them threads were answering the question, Why is it you find you have to be rude or ignorant on here to people asking a question, Also if you know you have the answer to the question why dont you post a link instead of being arrogant?

If efestivals is an example of the people that are going to be at glastonbury then im going to feel let down by all the stories of people being friendly.

[Mr.Tickle]

Main weather thread is here :

/index.php?showtopic=133023&hl=weather%20thread&st=420">http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/index.p...read&st=420

Think it might have slipped down a few pages.

I think in general you'll find that any weather forecast further out than 3 or 4 days is pretty inaccurate. The last 4 Glasto's have proved that to me! Anyway, keep checking that thread and you'll get an idea, there will be expert predictions from 2 posters called JACKONE and SteveMurr who know more than me about these things from about 3 weeks befroe the fest.

weather.co.uk does decent 10 day forecasts - but anything over a week is a real guess, there are just too many dependencies to say what is going to definitely happen.

Think how big the sky is, and how small glasto is, they can tell us (with some degree of honesty) what will happen in Somerset. But to get the weather right for an actual FARM is almost impossible for anything other than the next 6 to 12 hours... could have brilliant sun in Taunton and rain in glasto, or the other way around.

But still I love a good long range forecast NOTE: all links open in a new window

MetCheck current feelings(note image will update automatically daily - so keep checking back):

Or: Direct link to the above image

The metcheck and netweather are peoples personal estimations of the weather, from various long range forecasts they have access to.

16 day forecast for glasto will be here:

LINK>>> - http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=events;sess= from the 9th of June - just choose the correct details from the drop down. Should be out first good look at what might happen!

LINK>>> - met office - check out the UK wide long range view

LINK>>> - 10 day www.weather.co.uk pretty accurate

LINK>>> - decent 9 day - weatherforecast.com

LINK>>> - In depth 5 day - weathercity.com

LINK>>> - Yahoo 5 day

LINK>>> - BBC - toggles between 5 day and indepth 24hour weather

And rough guesses:

Guardian predicts good weather (in a very general way...)

guardian.co.uk glasto 10

The Gorge usually puts together some sort of weather guide in the weeks before the festival:

gorge.org - glasto 2010

I'll be hitting all those sites on the refresh between now and the big day!

Praying for great weather - warm days, cool nights

Buffy,

I know you were affronted, but please don't be annoyed.

The slightly warped and evil sense of humour that pervades these message boards, is provided by the people who will:

pick you up when you fall over in the mud,

help you if you get stuck with your tent,

reload you if you drop all of your gear walking up to the campsites,

help you out if you get lost,

Enjoyed to the full Glastonbury does leave you with a slightly "skewed" view of the world.

Hope you enjoy.

2005 - we were up to our knees in water without wellies when lightning struck an electricity pylon - we were on our way back to the car for our wellies and the water was nearly into the car!!

Is metcheck not working this year? Went to the site and cannot bring up any events for June the page is blank? I know it's not very good but it amuses me!
