Weather

From what I read, it isn't that bad. Showers rather than persistant rain are forcast?

click the days on the map: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html

...and read the text to the right and down a bit; click the sections of days. doesn't sound too bad; very similar to last year, so no big deal. after friday, drier weather will extend from the west.

fuck fuck, half tempted to book a hotel for the Friday night now.

This thread is ruining my sanity. I wish I was just living in ignorance instead.

Doesn't sound too bad!

You're in for a treat- it's looking like showers AND persistent rain!

There is talk on the weather forums of the low perhaps heading towards northern France than directly sitting over us.

What can we do to make this happen?

U2 in the rain is definitely the lowest I've ever felt at Glastonbury & made me really dread the next couple of days.

Woke up the next day & the sun came out! (a bit). Sunday was nice, I remember sunbathing whilst Plan B was on.

U2 was w*nk, the rain was not the worst part of it, was like glastonbury itself was crying at bono singing unaccompanied.... That was a low point

It could be as simple as wafting your hand in the air- it's a bit like chaos theory where the tiniest atmospheric changes can have a cascade effect- so get wafting!

Hope some of the methane gases from the long drops absorb their way underground, entering the atmosphere in the English Channel thereby creating a barrier against the low pressure?!

it's been said somewhere else but the issue with 2011 is that the site was already sodden. This year the site is bone dry. Sure we might get rain across similar days, but a totally dry site will make a difference.

In a strange way I quite enjoyed the rain on the Thursdays last year and in 2009. But that was because we knew that was the worst of it gone. 2011 was a different magnitude, partly as you say because the ground was pre-soaked. But I would hate another day like that Friday. Trying to watch music when it's pissing down is No Fun. Still, nothing we can do except suck it up. Gah!

mostly or exclusively on Fri, it seems. some persistent rain, then, maybe not heavy, or light stuff with heavier showers.

[Mr.Tease]

I don't think the ground has been this dry pre-glastonbury for over a decade- who knows what will happen when it starts to rain? Will it just roll along the top and pool? will it slip down the cracks a drain instantly? Will it cause the ground to soak up and seal the cracks like bullet wounds to the T-1000 in terminator 2?

It couldn't be clearer!

If you haven't already, said a thank you to Jackone I'm sure it would be appricated. The daily updates take him a long long time..

Quoted from JACKONE: "Thanks for all the feedback, (good and bad) it is appreciated, and makes the hard work worthwhile..."

As clear as mud!

The BBC have changed - Friday now brightening a bit and forecasting no rain for Saturday - presumably that means they are rubbish at forecasting weather, apart form Saturdays, which they are oddly brilliant at

[tumbles]

yr.no forecast looks pretty decent bar Friday.. quite happily take that - the weekend looks fab.

Blimey - I looked 40 minutes ago and it was really really awful.

I like this one much better!!!

[swede]

In summary - no one has a fucking clue whats going on !

Morning runs must be suggesting that the low pressure is dumping itself on France. Happy days.

Pick a forecast, any forecast - look at it, remember it - now put it back and shuffle the rest.
