Weather thread 2011

GFS 12Z looks pretty bad actually - rain monday, then potential for some showers wednesday/thursday, then more rain moving in on saturday.

GFS ensembles still show a relatively dry festival with ok temperatures (18Cmax)

latest ECM not out yet...but previous had rain on monday, showering/windy wednesday then settled over weekend. Have to see what next ECM comes up with, and hope GFS 12Z doesn't come off.

At the moment he's giving the GFS 12Hz run a 7 but I've forgotten which way round the scale works!

[glasto'newbie']

no

f**king

rain

no

f**king

compromise

[steviewevie]

0=dustbowl, 10=mudbath.

7 is a move in the wrong direction - need to see what the enslembies and other models show.

This could all have a very sad ending...

[howlin_pete]

not looking good on the latest forecast so far, better to wait till his summery before jumping to conclusions

[haznutuk]

0 = 2010

10 =2005

[barrychuckle]

I think those would both count as a 10, from what I have seen/read, I didn't attend personally. 98 was also a 10 and apparently 85 was a 17 and if you weren't there you are norman tebbit and I claim my five pounds.

Everyone will be pleased with the 3 they are going to get and by the time they get home will declare it a 1, by 2013 it will have been claimed constantly to have been a -3 by the people who just won't shut up about it.

Welcome to the efestivals weather thread.

NFR NFC. Keep it scorchio kids.

[Cooter]

looking good but we won't truly know til tomorrow or even Monday. Dear god this thread has been a living nightmare

[haznutuk]

0=dustbowl, 10=mudbath.

[Sketchead]

I don't understand all these technical weather diagrams, what's the suggestion at this point? Few showers but generally okay?

[steviewevie]

so - which was worse, 97 or 2007? I went 97/98 - can't believe it can get any worse!

[Homer]

Well we had a downpour of biblical proportions earlier in Middlesbrough. This has led to a leak in the bathroom roof and we can't get a roofer out untill the weather improves, so stuck with a leak while it continues to rain. So now thats my sacrifice for a nice Glastonbury

[drunk pumpkin]

OK. Thanks. But 2005 wasn't a mudbath except in certain localised areas - where it was actually a flood that submerged tents. But once the rain stopped Friday lunchtime the sun came out and most of the site was fine within hours. I didn't wear wellies once that year.

[steviewevie]

I dislike this news - 7 is moving in the wrong direction...

[beodeejay]

So....

maybe a bit squidgy underfoot on set up day & perhaps Thurs too.

But, no big puddles and no running rivers of mud. Possibly the odd drizzle/shower, but mainly dry. AND cloudy in the evening...so not too chilly at 2am

Whoo-hooooooo.
