Though I have now bought 3 raincoats and got my willies out the shed.

[teamsofa]

More than one? Impressive!

None of us can control the weather, but at least consider the following. This is the first time (as far as I know) where they haven't timed Glastonbury so that the concluding Monday falls in June. So we should all have been headed there today - I even had that written in my diary for ages just assuming it would be the case. We've therefore dodged it falling on what will be a weekend of largely dodgy weather!

Now we just have to hope the next one is better.

I live about 12 miles from Glasto and atm it's veryyy sunny, blue skies everywhere! Really humid as well!

Or deeply disturbing..... no mention of them still being attached.....

Metcheck currently shows 20mm of rainfall in six hours on the sunday morning.. thats flood volumes!

fingers crossed it'll be as unreliable as ever.

I read somewhere that there was a study done to determine how accurate forecasts are and the study showed that weather forecasts are more reliable in winter months than in summer months.

In fact, it said a seemingly better way of predicting tomorrows weather was reviewing the weather you experienced today. The study claimed that in doing this the prediction of tomorrows weather was more accurate in summer months then that of weather forecasters, on average..........thus if you review the weather you experienced today and use it as a predictor for tomorrows weather, on average, you will be more right then the weather forecasters! I found that very surprising!

Make of this what you will..............just thought it was interesting and kinda relevant to this thread.........

I'll stay with Accuweathers forecast, even the BBC is good, surely it can't go to biblical from here?

[JoeyT]

Forecasts starting to turn sour...

[hulk mike]

accuweather's still fine, i'm sticking with that

here's hoping for some of that!

[fur_q]

Na, it will have fallen on these dates before, they just go for the last full June weekend. Not sure when the past time was though so i don't know what the weather was like last time it .

[TokiDoki]

The 00z GFS (which a lot of the forecasts are based on) brings in low pressure but is an outlier on the ensembles so not too much to worry about.

[danbailey80]

Can't understand where any negativity is coming from. Fuck Metcheck it's totally shit.

The general concensus is that there will be rain the weekend before, and mostly dry during the festival.

Jackone, although my hero, has not been to glastonbury and doesn't understand how it dries very quickly.

Unless it rains on the Tuesday before loads, there will not be mud.

[TheNewUnion]

Metcheck it like a roller-coaster ride. Someone links to Metcheck with "stick"! in a post, I go to Metcheck and it's biblical downpours. I email the link to someone, they check later and go - awesome, warm and mostly dry.

Accuweater, and the Norwegian one and in the main, the BBC appear to be converging on a similar theme, looks OK to me, not schorchio, not ranio. Just Averagio. Not looking like 2010, not looking like 2011.

(BBC showing Sunny/Cloudy from Tues-Fri of Festival week)

always trust the Germans with this kind of thing. Very basically if higher pressure is maintained from South-western UK up to Scandanavia it won't be too bad. I can't remember whether this site goes off one model or an ensemble but I've always found it pretty good

agreed about Metcheck - ignore that guff.

I'm keeping positive, anything other than a mudbath (e.g. so we can sit on the grass!) will be lovely!
