Weather

[Ruwise]

If after all this perfect weather we've had for the past week or two, and all the favourable weather forecasts, it ends up being rainy every day, I will be weeping and ending the weather thread with this:

I know what you mean I get uneasier with every day of good weather we have. Would love a bit of rain in the next few days to stop me thinking negatively.

[Cooter]

So after 6 months of hopes and fears, at 6 days before we leave we know fukall!

Is Jackoff still on the fence?

Firmly! Sitting on a spike rooted up his arse. 5s all they way...............

What was last years rating at this stage? I quite liked last years weather, despite the bit of rain

I thought last year was similiarly cagey/up and down predictions predictions thoughout with an indication of the thursday rain but otherwise decentish coming around the beginning of the week? Could be remembering incorrectly though.

Nice forecast and a bit of super Mick as well

Wolves ay we

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but J10 said this earlier

"Haven't really gone into that much detail on temps, as given the model uncertainty there is little point, but if GFS is correct today, temps are set to be around 26c next Wednesday in the Glasto area."

Not surprising, as this is what Metcheck is saying and they use GFS.

J10's next update is out and it's a lil bit worse than yesterday

That doesn't look bad - still early doors and still better than Monday's forecast.

It was a 5 this time last year, with the same issues of the charts contradicting each other (as I read it, and I am a total weather chart reading novice). So pertty much what todays blog said

When he says "0=Dustbowl, 10 = Heatwave Scale" does he actually mean "0=Dustbowl, 10 = Mudbath" or the other way round? Either way he's made a mistake.

EDIT: He does mean 10 = Mudbath.

Yeah I think Jackones basically invented a whole new scale which entirely precludes and possibility of rain.

Clever.

Just bought waterproof trousers and boots today.... that should ensure drought

[drewsstrat]

Oh I knew this would happen. Friday and Saturday now taken a dip and showing a chance of rain on my app. Fridays risk looking early morning , so can cope there.

Saturday however looks most possibility , and there's even a lightening icon at the very time metallica take the stage... Temperatures respectable and there looks to be sun in mix so not a total downturn

Get those wellies and waterproofs packed, make the sacrifice to the weather gods and pray with our insignificant mortality.

[louise2014]

I'm remaining optimistic for now. Rain was forecast for this afternoon up north, instead I was sunbathing and sat outside having tea at half 7 in shorts and t-shirt.

If the sun shines, or it just remains dry...bonus! That said I may be checking every weather forecast I can find and praying to the wonderful weather gods ha!

Jackone (or 10) basicaally doesn't have a clue at this stage (or arguably at any stage). You'd be better off consulting my Auntie Fanny's seaweed (which incidentally is bone dry at the moment).

I was going to make a joke but my internal censor kicked in

Seaweed is often used as a natural weather forecaster. Kelp, for example, shrivels and feels dry in fine weather, but swells and becomes damp if rain is in the air.

[sjseabass]

I think my sterling work as a sun talisman will continue. I've never been rained on during a headliner at a festival, and I've done Reading 2010-2013 and Glastonbury 2013. NOW BOW DOWN TO ME.

Seriously, though, this is looking roughly the same as last year to me. Which is great .

[tumbles]

The level of rain forecast is still nothing at all.

[djcolsen]

Starting to look good.... couple more days and i'll truly trust it

all seem unanimous in a little rain on Saturday but leading up to that looks more then positive

Think we might just pull this one off boys and girls

[drewsstrat]

Change for the slightly better with me. Friday could well be dry with cloud cover, Saturday morning is now rain risk of up to 0.06inch but then improving. There seems to be a bit of wind too up to 15mph
