This thread!

Bad report - "Ah sure you cant trust forecasts until X time out. Its bullshit, rubbish, guff, made up" etc etc

Good report - "Woo Hoo! Yeah! Its going to be a sizzler! Scorchio!!! etc etc

[Avalon_Fields]

According to the Met, Southern England could be facing a drought, with at least the next 10 days free of rain. 'Strong signal' and 'use water wisely'

Are you questioning our commitment to the principles of science?

My 10 day forecast has improved this morning

[simonizer]

I'm only seeing minimal amounts of rain on most of these forecasts . The only one bothering me is accuweather predictions for Saturday for

evening/night

Im packing a cagoule then

The models can't make their mind up about this weekend yet, never mind next week. Still too early to be overly worried. If I remember rightly, Jackone was still predicting some rain on the Tuesday in 2010 and we know how that turned out!

I'm bringing 150,000 cagoules to sell, after posting ridiculously optimistic weather bulletins here

[Swine_Glasto2014]

I led in bed last night thinking about the weather :/

[stevieweevil]

Slightly more encouraging charts today. Any breakdown of the high pressure looks to be brief (poss tues/weds) before moving back in again for the weekend. Of course way too far out to have any confidence at the moment and it'll probably be all change again tomorrow.

[A Guy Called Matt]

Ahh so you'll follow the science, just at a slightly later stage :-)

the rollercoaster is part of the fun.

Has anyone else noticed how the bbc website forecasts have dropped the temperature range for days 6-10 and now just says a min/max temperature.

Because they realised the futility of trying to predicts anything more than 5 days ahead. Only the gods know.

No, I mean they're being more confident in their forecasts for days 6-10. They're now saying it will be max 20 degrees, min 12 degrees, rather than max 15-22 and min 10-14.

If you go to the day in the future and point the cursor at that day it brings up a box......... it has details like this in it.. Proof that only the gods really know.

Light Cloud

• Most Likely High18°C
• High Between13°C/23°C
• Humidity69%
• VisibilityVery Good
• Pressure (Millibars)1019
• Wind DirectionW
• Wind Speed (mph)9

[Glastonlocal]

Yeah, but they're now giving a single headline max/min figure. They weren't before, they just gave the range.

the gods don't really know as they don't exist.

This is all looking pretty good I reckon. The uninitiated think that if it rains at the fest then that automatically means it's a 'mudbath'. The fact is that to get a proper one, you need heavy rain consistently in the build-up, followed by pretty continuous rain during it too. It looks unlikely we're going to get a sh1tstorm in the next week or so, so even if it does take a bit of a turn for the worse, the ground should be pretty hard anyway which bodes well.

Oh dear, I've started looking in the weather thread - the fest really must be close!

Except for Geoff the God of Biscuits. He definitely exists. I have sacrificed three chocolate digestives to his mightiness already this morning.

(Thanks to Eddie Izzard for that)

[JayBalls]

Read through this time on the 2010 thread and all was very similar with regards to the uncertainty a few days before and with the high pressure close, it's looking good people

[AbsolutelyNo]

Liam Dutton (channel 4 weatherman) reckons the high pressure will last til the end of the month.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Im sat reading this thread on the bus.

I look up and someone has a T-Shirt on with one word on it "BERLIN"....

It might be a sign?

[Homer]

Accuweather have got this 'generally nice but not too hot' theme continuing until well after the fest too...
