That needs to be 3-5 degrees hotter for my personal liking. 18 is just a bit too cold for hanging around outside all day.

that'l feel well into the twenties in the sunshine without too much wind. lovely

If its above 12 then its time for shorts and warm beer :-)

Bloody Northerners. There are times when I visit home and my mum will be saying how it's a lovely warm day and I'll be freezing a tit off. I need my insulating London smog.

When do the Netweather guys get involved and start doing the break down of the geeky stuff I don't understand most of the time?

The weather charts don't go any further than 16 days ahead.

Obviously the further you go from the current day the lower confidence is in terms of what the chart is saying actually happening.

The charts are updated 4 times in a 24 hour period and can vary significantly each time.

Basically the rule of the weather thread (as most already know) is to not take anything to seriously until the Sunday before the festival. There will be highs and there will be lows so just enjoy it :)

Luckily at Glastonbury you always have your beer/cider coat on to keep you warm

Yes.

There will also be occluded fronts and there will be temperature inversions. There may be some clouds, the occasional precipitation and early morning mist and fog patches.

Yep, I think that just about covers it.

Oh, and long unbroken sunny periods too, of course.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
