Latest from JackOne!

Some of you have been very kind to send some site photos and conditions are looking good, however if the models are correct for the next 6 days, there will be a big change.

I know some of you will be off to the festival for the next few days, so have a good one and remember to keep in touch via the Net Weather twitter account which will publish a link to all new blog posts.

Enough padding by me and on for with the forecast, which will again do the forecast for each day of the forecast.

Overview

Tuesday is looking settled and dry, with some decent sunny spells.

Wednesday 25 June

High Pressure will change to low pressure over the UK, with NW winds expected over Glastonbury, pressure is expected to be around 1030-1032mb, Unfortunately this means almost guaranteed rain.

Thursday 26 June

Low Pressure continues to dominate, with winds West to NW over Glastonbury, pressure again expected to be around 1028-1030mb. A weather front if still forecast to be embedded with the Low Pressure. At this stage the continuing expectation for the heaviest of the rain is to hit the festival site Temps are expected to be around 19-20c.

Friday 27 June

Slight variances in the models at this point, but the general theme is for Low Pressure to be slightly further out west with winds West to North West, and for the pattern to be slightly flatter than on Thursday, with pressure around 1025-1030mb. Friday is now expected to be extremely wet according to the models, but with quite a bit of uncertainty about the cloud amount.

Saturday 28 June

The general pattern of Low Pressure to our South West is agreed. Pressure for the Glastonbury area between models ranges from 1023-1028mb, and some have the centre of the High quite close to the UK, others halfway to the Azores. It does seem likely to be again extremely wet and temps are likely to be low to mid 20s. Some sunny spells seem likely but some uncertainty at this stage.

Sunday 29 June

There seems even less agreement on Sunday's weather, the general theme of Low Pressure being nearby is agreed, beyond that no real agreement, with pressure forecast between 1022-1032mb and that is not even including the ensembles. Winds are likely to be from a West to South West direction and with 850Hpa temps around 10c, it not likely to be cold. So in summary looking wet, warm with temps low-mid 20s, and the chance of some sunshine.

Overall

The total rainfall charts are very consistent with rainfall, both runs go for around 73mm of rainfall in the next 9 days.

1028-30 is not low pressure .. otherwise not a bad attempt!

My, what an unusually specific piece of bad news, how awful!?!

Sorry mate, the highest of peccary apologies to you

[glasto84]

Did a lot of rain fall in the preceding week? Can you find the video - I didn't go that year so wouldn't recognise it.

I think I remember this; and think they might mean this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG-u6JjWImI haven't re-watched it but from memory it was a guy driving around in lots of mud pretending there was no mud.....

[simonizer]

Nal , I'm going through a difficult time emotionally at the moment & was considering not going as a result, I know it's all meant as a joke but a real weather report (which I thought it was) like that would swing it for me as I could cope with the emotional strain. Have a heart , my nearly burst then .

[Yesiamaduck]

I'll give u props Nal You had me going for a moment

I'll take that Accuweather report right now. 4mm rain over the weekend seems refreshing if anything, looks like comfortable temperature.

Lots of pictures suggest the 2011 damage was done on the Wednesday/pre-festival.

I got to the site on Thursday and it was nice and sunny, Friday it pissed on us all day, Saturday and Sunday really nice.

[Titters2]

Hook, line and sinker for a few moments there.

Well played.

[filmguy]

Nicely played Sir!

This is excellent news. Four days before the gates opened and it was already muddy. We're now 5 days away from the gates opening and the ground is dry as a bone, plus we're expecting less rain. This is 2009/2008 style, which is fine by me!

It rained just as the gates opened = total mudbath

Yep, some areas are already really muddy, and most of the grass looks soggy. That was the saturday before the festival. I doubt there's an equivalent video for now, but I'm guessing it currently looks nothing like that.
