With just a little bit of rain over the next week it will be a muddy one. Time to dig the wellingtons out.

[briddj]

The latest models show rain on the Saturday night to be heavier than previous, need the high pressure to come up north to push rain higher up.

But as ever all still to play for so not too concerned!

[Buzlightyear]

Ouch.

[steviewevie]

yes agreed - need ECM to keep with this high moving in from south pusing that nasty low north of uk. Stupid weather. Stupid country. Stupid planet.

[fur_q]

To be fair to me that chart seems to show a max of about 12mm of rain, not great but not really 05 or 07 proportions.

As others have said we need to wait and see what the ensembles show

[rabid]

means rain and afair bit of it

Michael Fish gives his thoughts on next week's weather. Be aware that the latest GFS run could be an outlier (rogue run) the ECM (a more reliable model in the short range) still suggests a High pressure edging in for next weekend so all to play for

The GFS is just toying with us, let's not worry our little heads yet.

Countryfile is an hour later than usual this week, which could be decisive!

NFR, NFC.

These charts and stuff are changing all the time. I'm alright if it rains earlier (Thur/Fri) but want it start brightening up Sat/Sun. Heavy rain forecast today and over the weekend. I'm not so fussed about the mud, but hope it rains like a bastard over the weekend and relieves itself to move over for the sun!

No need to wait for Countryfile - the Weather for the Week Ahead is first shown as part of Country Tracks (1100 on Sunday morning), then repeated in Countryfile.

[jezzer]

When does ECM usually come out?

[Funkungfusion]

This is the latest from netweather.tv's Glasto forecast.

Very light rain? Not too bad. Only goes up to Friday at the moment.

is it exactly the same forecast in both, or is it an updated one in the later show?

[Lentus]

I've always thought the Countryfile forecast was an updated version

[jezzer]

You would of thought wouldnt you.

You must be a fev fan like me. I was at the game tonight too but have been cheered up by glasto weather news :-)

[Titters]

3mm?

[tedlgn]

A friend of mine who is a working meteorologist told me this today

'indications are probably a few showers early doors then plenty of dry weather through the weekend, and increasingly warm. Quite early to say definitively though..'

[grandadcollective]

I'm now working on the assumption that it will be wet. Anything else is a bonus.

[Titters]

For comparison,

I THINK 60mm fell over the weekend in 2007. Grim.

100mm fell on the friday morning in 2005. June average is about the same figure...

Please feel free to correct these numbers, I can't recall where I got them from, and can't reference!

[Gutterflower]

My dad is a weather forecaster for the Met Office. My plan is to ask him what the weather will be like on Tuesday and then do the Exact Opposite of what he says.... has always worked before.

[SteveTLizard]

I know as Brits we all love wallowing in misery, but ffs, sort it out, it's Glastonbury next week you misserable gits.
