Take heart from the fact that on 18 June 2010 Jackone predicted 60% likelihood of a wet festival.

Sorry, should I call you El or Bingo? I realised after I posted that you were bi-weatheral....

[elbongo]

Thanks! Might watch it on iplayer on the Monday if I can pluck up the courage...

[Zoo Music Girl]

I am just down on site now and the ground seams to be holding out, seams nice and hard and nkt much mud about.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

Sundays 12:20 ish - but the weather is on later in the programme. My advice, either record it and zap through to the weather or wait for it to be on iplayer and zap through. OR wait until the forecast has been talked about on this forum! BBC is not always the most reliable forecast.

Sorry! This thread is clearly a bad influence!

To be clear I only want to watch it so I can discredit it.

In 2011 the front part of this webcam image had a huge pool of water in front of it for the whole of June which just never dried up. It's been dry the whole month this time.

Unless something catastrophic happens this next few days there's no chance of it being like 2011.

@fergieweather for local weatherman Ian Ferguson... he started some updates a few days ago and does answer tweets for any weather!

Jackone dug out his 2007 forecast earlier on, just to show that things can change dramatically last minute:

http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/76531-glastonbury-wed-26-to-sun-30-june-2013/page-5#entry2716771

The Sunday stands out:

"ECM shows high pressure establishing itself over the UK with the GFS doing this but to a lesser extent, so some uncertainty as regards to the weather but it should

be drier than most days of the festival, but with the risk of the odd shower. Temperatures look like being in high teens, maybe hitting the low 20cs in any sunshine."

If you weren't there, go find The Who's set on Youtube - constant, relentless heavy rain that set in until about 3am!

I see the NFRNFC neanderthals are back polluting this thread again.

shoo shoo

Woulld be fairly happy with this, almost 2008 or 2009 conditions.

Lot of bluster behind Jackone IMO. A charlatan, if a hi-tech one at that.

Most of his "runs" give me the runs.

Let us just be thankful that Glastonbury happens next week, not this week, and cross fingers that this situation does not repeat itself:

[Mr.Tease]

In the past 10 years, usually its been fine on the Wednesday and Thursday, rainy Friday, and hot and sunny on the Sunday. In fact i think the only crap Sunday has been 2007 (think it also rained Sunday night in 2009).

Hate to do this, but according to The Met Office (as at 4am this morning) - we are fecked !

UK Outlook for Sunday 23 Jun 2013 to Tuesday 2 Jul 2013:

An unsettled period of weather is expected during Sunday and Monday with rain or showers across most parts. The heaviest and most persistent rain is likely across central and eastern parts on Sunday, before brighter but showery conditions move in by Monday. It will also be windy, with a low risk of gales in the east. Feeling generally rather cool, especially in the east. Thereafter, a north-south split is likely to develop, with northern areas staying unsettled with further spells of rain, heaviest and most prolonged in the west. Whereas southern parts likely to see some drier and brighter interludes develop for a time between showers, before more unsettled conditions return here later in the week. Temperatures still rather cool in the north, but probably recovering to near average elsewhere.
