The mud on site is more likely to be caused by all the knicker wetters on this site rather than the rain tbh.

[Mr.Tease]

The forecasts don't look too bad, and even on the Netweather forums they are still talking of showers as opposed to persistent rain... but all I'm seeing are lows sitting over the UK, which to me just says rain! Feeling quite pessimistic

That video has lows in every direction at the 2.49min mark- an absolute horror show!

Then miraculously a high appears to the east, but does an instant runner. That high is our only hope- if it can somehow fight back against the low, we might stand a chance. Actually there is also a high to the south west- yet both these high's are getting pushed out by the low to the north west- if only one of them can make a stand...

Well so much for a clearly unsettled end to the week. The UKMO has suddenly realised that there is high pressure to the north and sends the low into France instead of the UK

GFS is bringing barely any significant rainfall to the UK, just a few showers here and there.

Still a lot of uncertainty even in the more reliable timeframes.

GEM is different to both at day 5

low pressure squeezing through slowly instead of the quick UKMO solution and the GFS solution where low pressure fails to reach the UK.

That's the latest post in the netweather forum. Not all doom and gloom!

The weather for the week ahead is available on YouTube. It doesn't look pretty! But still some uncertainty.

oh dear

What does john craven know anyway, he was a children's TV presenter

[tigger123]

looks pretty positive, note by all the showers it only says 'v light'

was going to do forecast for Pilton but wasn't sure if it was the Somerset Pilton or the one in Northampton

I think we can only really describe the coming week as 'fair' at best.

C'mon France, take that blue load!

[Mr.Tease]

Seems to me most sites have improved since last night? metcheck says rain on friday but dry otherwise, accuweather and weather.com say piddly bits of rain most days, and yr.no makes for entirely sexy viewing.

http://www.nme.com/news/glastonbury/70862 I just look back to this from last year. Yes it's NME... Yes, it's from a week or so below the festival... But in no way is it accurate

[whisty]

It'll be fine, just take these things.

And if all else fails, one of these.

I think 'BBC weather is shit/terrible/a joke/rubbish/pathetic/unreliable etc etc' is posted on a daily basis here. I can't fathom why people are STILL looking at it...

Because it is essentially the MET office forecast so is probably the most trustworty forecast going

[Splatt]

This thread is my crack cocaine - I just can't stay away more than 2 minutes at a time!

It isn't, half the time it's completely different to the Met forecast and by no means is the Met forecast the "most trustworthy" forecast going

[ICGenie]

I'm seeing some very positive changes since the first update this morning, where I was starting to get concerned over sat and Sunday.

Much better now, Thursday and Friday look most at risk of rain, but nothing terrible. Yes.... This positive energy is working ...

Aye, there's 700 pages of the stuff elsewhere

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

like Filmguy said, they deviate enough that I don't think they are. Met currently reporting a 40% chance of 'light rain' on Thursday so far. Which I'm comfortable with.

The bbc website forecast is computer generated from the models are is often rubbish. Could you tell me why the met office is not the most trusted?

[Gnomicide]

So how screwed to we currently look to be?

A mild fingering.

[Martin Ashford]

Fuck it. Have you seen the line up for the Glade Lounge? If it gets bad I will happily spend all weekend in there!

[Mr.Tease]

A mild fingering.

That could turn into a fist, if the trends continue. We basically need jackone to put a halt to the downward trend tonight.

[Boopickledaddy]

I put a net above my house to catch any clouds.

Brilliant, I think that will work :-)

[Nudda]

Forecasting the weather is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman: First you've got to check whether she's fair or stormy; both conditions are possible and changes may occur suddenly and without warning. Then see whether you need protection; as a rule, never leave home without. When you're done, you can simply toss your hat aside, safe in the knowledge that it's kept you from even worse conditions, and, more importantly, those unwanted lows.

Not sure how reliable these guys are, but I sure like what they are saying!
