I am doing a cheeky little dance of joy - last seen on ticket day as I gave the final registration number to the bemused guy on the end of the phone at See Tickets!!!

An absence of mud would absolutely MAKE. MY. WEEK. !!!

Good to see William there fretting and and me trying to calm him down :-D

He was right to tho, I was clinging onto straws. Bad times.

Still very odd remembering how nice it was at the start of the festival. Worst weekend ever in my life, not just for the rain.

Accuweather forecast has taken a slight turn - looking more cloudly/rainy than it did the other day.

Any value in this? It's early doors so I assume it'll change (as it has changed loads already) but is Jackone 'gospel' as far as Glastonbury weather is concerned?

I've been following the general Netweather model updates (posted over the whole of today) over the last 45 minutes. Hey! I do these things so you don't have to!

And I'm left ....

.... feeling neutrally, albeit still a bit faintly, positive.

But that's only because I'm massively, Worthy (and other) Farms sized, paranoid. My paranoia is bigger than Glastonbury Festival's actual site!!!

Objectively speaking though .... if that's at all possible .... a lot (not all) of today's technical updates are looking pretty benign for next week ....

Back tomorrow ...

Huge thanks to the people that put so much effort into this thread. As well as saving me trawling through each site, it's hugely entertaining.

Funny how everyone was freaking out in 2010 just 5 days before the festival began. Some forecasts were going for wet conditions over the weekend, and lots of the GFS runs were going for some rain Friday-Sunday looking at the ensemble image I posted on 18/06/2010!

If anything, the current model output at this stage before the festival is better than in 2010.

EDIT: You can see the long dry (and hot) run-up to the 2010 festival in the above image clearly though.

NFR NFC... the collective will of the people. The force is strong in this one...

I try to follow this thread but get lost now and again with all these charts and diagrams. What we saying it's looking like at the minute?

Still unsettled but won't be a mud bath. Will likely see some rain over the course of the festival but less than originally expected?

There will be weather, and a lot of it?

[TokiDoki]

So basically what you are saying is this year is going to be better than 2010.

err am i the only one looking at the toe of the camel ?

contrast and compare:

2010 (festival 23rd - 27th) - mean of predicted pressure went from about 1022mb, declining to 1018mb.

2013 (festival 26th - 30th) - mean of predicted pressure starting on 2027mb, declining to 2022mb

Huffington Post is a big thumbs up.

[FTHC]

And that's good, right?

[bombfrog]

it's about a 1000mb higher than is likely

[TokiDoki]

And that's good, right?

[dan05delaney]

so the higher the mb, the higher the pressure... the hotter and better the weather?
