This ones different too - they're all different. Basically no-one knows. Me ma always says - There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing......

 

She obviously wasn't at Glasto in 2007!!

To put everyone's (including myself) mind at ease someone has summarised for us on the netweather forums:

 

Once again this morning the models remain largely focused on the behaviour of High pressure positioned out to the SW of the UK and how much influence it holds across the UK. In the short term it does allow some weak fronts to cross South across the UK but rainfall amounts will be very restrictive and mostly towards the North. Cloud amounts will be large at times and this may hold temperatures down to comfortable levels in the North but some warm weather could be experienced in the South. Then next week there are indications with some cross model support that a period of more showery weather may develop as a more enhanced trough moves down from the North in the light flow. ECM is the most progressive of these outcomes with several days of relatively cool and unstable conditions. However, it does indicate too that High pressure may well build back after this at least across the South and East where hints that it might become very warm are shown. So in a nutshell today prospects remain reasonable and while a heatwave looks very unlikely in the near future as long as that High pressure remains out to the SW conditions look favourable enough for most people to enjoy some fine early Summer weather and although this may be punctuated with odd days of cloud and a little rain or showers no large rainfall amounts look likely across most areas of the UK for the next few weeks at least.

Were you there in '07?

Yep but that was extraordinary, like Noah's Ark!

The rain at DL during Slipknot was pretty damn heavy though.

I was just saying that I doubt that we'll get any prolonged periods of torrential rain, by looking at the forecasts and by the fact that DL fell on a particularly bad weekend of weather.

In a nutshell - there will be weather, of some description!

 

This is the equivalent of the headliners thread. I predict that at the last minute we will knick whatever weather Paris has, good or bad.

Urgh .. Not liking the look of the forecasts at all. Trust it looking likely to break on the day the festival starts after a lovely few weeks. Typical!

I blame all of this on those who complained 2010 was too hot. Well I hope you're all happy now and enjoy the rain!!!

Better than our weather so far, although I know you won't be happy with those temperatures!

Today I do not like the Norweigans web site.

 

 

Last night the BBC said at just before 10pm that they should hopefully have a firm idea of Low or High for next week by this evening!!!!!! Eeeekkkk Go High, Go High, Go high..........

[Familiar2billions]

Accuweather is the only one prediciting doom and gloom. Festiweather, Metcheck and the BBC are all prediciting nowhere near as bad, just the odd little bit of rain but mainly dry and cloudy. F**k accuweather, they just dont like Glastonbury.

I always think there's a chance that could come in earlier....

This has always been my forecasting tool, based on how the last few days have been since the high pressure from the SW that was dominating has broken down it doesn't seem that bad to me.  I basically watch the patterns in the days and weeks before the festival and it gives you a good idea of what the weather is going to be doing in the coming days.

[Jakkkkobz]

Bollocks! its going to be just like Napoleons retreat from Moscow.

The BBC is saying a hail shower on next Monday WTF!

[majormajormajor]

One thing that isn't too far from being completely ruled out is a heatwave.

sorry, but I'm not buying the idea that the BBC can predict a single hail shower almost a week in advance. No idea WHY they're predicting that, but I'd bet my left bollock that we don't see a hail shower.

[**claire**]

I'm starting regret ordering a few pair of shorts

 

I hope you're proud of yourself!

So today's Accuweather forecast is predicting the worst Glastonbury rain on record? For the love of Grohl.

I don't get it - why is Accuweather so 'out there' with their predictions?

 

Do you/any of the knowledgeable weather folk here know what they use to forecast or why it'd be so drastically different from just about everyone else? I assume/assumed they had the same data as everyone else, so either they can't interpret data correctly, or they're trolling festivalgoers....

Yikes, that is bad. 

 

On the plus side, the minimum has gone down...
