tumbles Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Anyone got any idea how much rain fell during Friday's deluge? A few forecasts mentioned there would be 10mm of rain during the afternoon, for future reference I would like to know what it actually was! I'm guessing it was a lot more, cant seem to find any info online tho I reckon it was 20mm plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Nah - the downpour on the Saturday morning was also a site-trasher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffie Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Better than I feared TBH. Pity there wasn't a day (I didn't get there till Thursday) you could wear trainers but ground held up brilliantly and dried very quickly I thought. There was a period before the downpour Friday when I thought we might escape with a dry site. I even took my wellies off and that mocking of the weather gods obviously prompted a mental storm. We definitely did get lucky at times - there was a huge downpour on Sat I could see on the rain radar that missed us by about half a mile. Mocking of the.....? Wrong thread mate lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_mark_ Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 It was diluting the inside of my can, I'm sure there were hailstones at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblecup Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I would have taken 2013 weather over 2014 any day. My feet aren't made for being cooped up in wellies and boots all day, the mud is hard work (yes I know it's been worse) and not being able to sit on the ground unprepared is a pita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonodillieono Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 No idea but a few drops fell into me cider and me cider jumped out.... Put hand over the cup... Didn't take long for my hand to be soaked.... Almost had diluted cider... I don't think I've ever seen rain drops as big as those before... Looked a bit like hail/sleet when landing on my black jacket.... There was 100% definitely hail at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostypaw Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 There was 100% definitely hail at some pointI think it must have been very recently hail to get so large, we're lucky it had melted or woulda been less fun I think one of those events and it would have been fine, both was the kicker just enough brief overload to last until Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestWorthing Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I've missed the weather thread. Long range forecast is looking great, first thing I do every morning is check this: http://www.festiweather.com/forecast.asp?EventID=667&event=Glastonbury%20Festival%202015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithy Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 2 months out seems a good time to start the El Nino talk (especially as I'm bored waiting for a delivery man!) Looks likely we'll have a strong El Nino this summer - http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/ensodisc.pdf "there is an approximately 70% chance that El Niño will continue through the Northern Hemisphere summer 2015" IRCC, a strong El Nino tends to lead to drier and warmer weather in the UK?

kabillion Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think this will be the 1st year where I'll avoid all Glasto weather chat. I'll take wellies and waterproofs and hope for the best.
