Bring your suncream and sunglasses as it may well be a mostly dry festival, especially to start, perhaps hire those wellies as you may be able to get your money back on unused goods.

Oh I love it I love it I love it

I think I'd like to marry Jackone. Best get some suncream at the weekend!

[slamdunkdafunk]

But most of the other runs aren't supporting the return o the low pressure, and even the two that are pointing to LP look to have minimal precipitation. ATM it's looking like a 2002/2003 scenario, although I'm still holding my breath for more convergence in the ensembles.

Edit, this was written before I saw Jackone's post.

Three more updates' time and we are just about safe. Roll on Sunday and Jackone and Countryfile.

STAY STRONG PEOPLE!

7/10. ALL GLORY TO JACKONE.

I am currently more moist than the entire festival will be.

You won't be able to see but I'm doing a little dance right now.

I'm doing this dance

[ClareM1983]

It's been hoofing it down here in Leeds for the last hour... Let's hope any r**n stays up north over the next week and for the festival weekend!

[GlastoSimon]

This is good.

EDIT: Without getting too optimistic, am I right in thinking that the 2010 forecasts didn't predict a entirely dry and hot festival until a few days before? Just thinking the forecast for the latter days of the fest may yet improve!

Nice one - get practising that ticket gate entry dance everyone

[gwemyss21]

[TokiDoki]

Does anyone have a link for the 2010 weather thread? Can't seem to find it.

[just-spence]

Next Friday 8.30pm West holts, nice little warm up dance before Chic, see you there.

2010 started on the 23rd of the month, so I have a Jackone summary from 19th June 2010, which is actually later than the point we're at now. Bear in mind, the forecasts were worse before this one...

19th June 2010

A few subtle changes today that mean the low pressure to the west of the UK is set to have less impact on the UK than originally thought, Its progress over the UK and especially to southern UK is less progressive than yesterday, and this improves the chance of a dry Glastonbury festival. On this basis the chance of a wet Glastonbury festival has been reduced to 45%.

This does not essentially mean a completely dry festival, however the chance of heavy downpours and prolonged rainfall are less than yesterday.

Was the forecast before 2007 terrible the week before, too?

Trying to convince myself that the current forecast isn't going to be completely, utterly wrong.

[Splatt]

Are we counting our chickens too early? (It does look good tho')

[GlastoSimon]

My worry too, reckon if it remains this way (or even improves...) over the weekend - and there is little rain over this weekend itself - we might, just might be OK.
