Does low pressure ALWAYS equal rain?

The only good pressure drop

Met Office lastest

UK Outlook for Tuesday 23 Jun 2015 to Thursday 2 Jul 2015:

A drier, brighter interlude for most on Tuesday and Wednesday with somewhat warmer conditions expected, although there is still a risk of slow moving showers, mainly in the south. From Thursday onwards, northern and western parts will tend to be cooler and windier with showers or longer spells of rain at times, whereas southern and most eastern areas are more likely to hold onto warmer, drier weather at times, but even across the southeast intervals of occasional rain and stronger winds seem likely at times. There is a possibility that a more generally settled picture to develop across the whole UK towards the start of July, but confidence in any detail is low at this stage.

Pattern btw forecasters now starting to emerge???

That met office latest isn't all doom and gloom

They are explained fairly regularly and there are text forecasts posted often.

Yeah and there's also this website called Google that you can use for researching stuff you don't understand, it's pretty new so you may not have heard of it but its a bit like Altavista.

Does low pressure ALWAYS equal rain?

Not exactly. At the risk of making things more complicated it's the rise and fall that really does it, so you can already be in fairly low pressure and it can get lower etc. It can also bumble along like that and not be wet.

Still what you really want is consistent high pressure, there's no two ways around it. But middling and no low systems coming through is just dandy too - which is what it looked like were were getting(ish) until that last run

Prefer just to believe this for the time being: http://www.centralsomersetgazette.co.uk/Glastonbury-Festival-2015-Weatheforecast/story-26722738-detail/story.html

It's still a week away, I'm no meteorologist but I presume there's a lot of room for error in these models at this point. Is that correct?

Yeah this time last year it was predicting 5 days of sunshine and we ended up with a fair bit of rain

"I am working though the blog now, and it should be up a bit late tonight. past 9pm, although given some of the models today, it is a bit X rated."

[Swine_Glasto2014]

That Met report is good, great start anyway.

At least on accuweather the days after look alright. It could always "blow in sooner"

[briddj]

The good thing still remains about the stinking forecast that they say you can't predict it right 9 days out.....

Is that in a "my god it's sexy" porn type way or a "don't even think about looking - you really don't want to" way I wonder. Probably the latter

[stopwn1981]

When he says X rated I wonder whether he's alluding to a 10 rating???

[JoeyT]

Going to be sat in a tent hot boxing the shit out of it looking at those latest charts. Throw me a rope!

[richy24]

We should start some sort of weather sweepstake. Then even if it rains at least one of us will be happy!

Netweather showing rain all day every day

[Keithy]

It looks so perfect tonight too - http://glastocam.panomax.com/

[Keva]

So we've gone from little rain to a washout in 24 hours? Wonder what tomorrow will bring

[jobleakley1]

Jackone says the blog tonight will be x rated!!!

Mortified - perfect conditions.

Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!

The confidence levels are 50% or less... its just a guess!

[Swine_Glasto2014]

Absolutely gutted really. I know some of these posts and links are tongue in cheek and a laugh. Unfortunately tho, it really looks like it's going to change and it's saddened me tonight.

I'm sat, up the ridgeway trail, in.me camper, drinking a gin, watching the sun fade and it couldn't be better really.

To.think this time next week, quite possibly it could be shit,when it really matters. Is very upsetting

[airwaves]

I love the way this thread every year seems to alternate between GREAT and WE'RE DOOMED

when the actual point about weather is

WE CAN DO F### ALL ABOUT IT FOLKS

Go prepared for anything folks and enjoy it whatever the weather
