He is doing something daily, but I've no idea how what he says relates to festival conditions:

http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/80198-glastonbury-wed-25-to-sun-29-june-2014/#entry2981828

he is basically talking about high and low pressure - troughs being low pressre. Low pressure more chance of poor conditions. I've just checked 1 of the models that goes out to 23rd June. High pressure very close on that run so a good start - obviously only get a trend that far out at the moment. More accurate weather predicitions are within 96 hours

The storms this weekend are only because warmer high pressure which is moving in is meeting existing low pressure which is already here. When the two meet, you often get a clash that results in thundery downpours.

I hope that what will happen is the high pressure will steadily replace the low and the weather will normalise and settle down over the next week or two, leaving us with sustained, sunny high pressure weather until July 2nd, after which - quite frankly - it can do what it likes.

I like this talk

Can so sympathise with the last sentence, quite happy for the rest of the year to be squiffy for the sake of this one week

Rain turned out to be no where near as bad as forecast- bbc, wrong again! So even if we are forecast apocalyptic weather with 24 hrs to go for glastonbury, there is still hope!

Known as the Micheal Fish Syndrome; meteorologists have, sine the infamous forcast for the great storm, tended to report the worst case senareio form the forcast data.

There's always a chance that the massed ranks of NFR NFC might be able to send up enough prayers to persuade the Weather Gods to send sunshine along.

We're working on it

    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
    • An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.
    • Ohhh it’s very, very good. 
    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
    • Would love to see them headline as well, but agree with Mr Bailey ☹️
