Suntan Sunday was more than alright, was a lovely end to the festival! And on the Saturday afternoon it was dry enough to sit on the ground outside the acoustic listening to Glen Tilbrook, there were still muddy areas where standing water had taken longer to shift or had heavy footfall but they were easily avoided unlike on the Friday. 

 

Yeah just meant the ground was alright. Weather was perfect for Brian Wilson.

 

Other stage never recovered, never does. I know this because I fell over after Ian Brown on Sunday night.

Friday was total mayhem for a while last year, Rudimental rain was the wettest I've ever been, and I do triathlons.

 

But the Sun came out for Elbow and it was lovely, if a bit muddy.

 

Wasn't until Sunday pm when I could sit on the ground anywhere.

Just look at that sunset... almost made the storm worthwhile

Using my not in the least bit Scientific analysis of various websites this morning is definitely an upward trend on yesterday. Where 60% of the festival was covered in rain, we're now down to 40% (I don't include the Monday weather in the percentage).

 

I have added BBC now it's all in range. I'm tempted to add the Norway website just to massively skew the sunshine odds back in our favour.

 

Anyway, it's mainly Netweather and Metcheck letting the side down. A few days ago they were the most positive of all the forecasts.

 

I am mostly pleased that all the predictions for storms have gone.

This endless date on uncontrollable and unpredictable phenomena consistently enthralls me. Keep it up!

can people please stop saying this? the weather was absolutely appalling. the mud was horrible, the mud was everywhere.

Really?  I thought it was quite manageable and could have been a lot worse.  I had wellies, I had a poncho...sat in a few tents and things, saw a few things I wouldn't have otherwise bothered with....all good.

I like this from Netweather:

MY THOUGHTS Slightly busy this morning so just a quick appraisal of the runs this morning and in general they reflect a somewhat better picture again with less domination from Low pressure once we get through the messy array of troughs affecting the UK early next week. High pressure looks to be holding on for dear life across Southern Britain from most output this morning with more of North/South split likely through week 2 when things could become warm and humid across the South in largely dry weather while the North sees the greatest chance of rain and showers then. So while there is the risk of a shower almost anywhere next week a lot of dry weather will largely supercede the effects of this with temperatures pleasant enough for late June in the South and while the North may see more in the way of wind and rain in Week 2 the South looks set fair with a warm SW feed likely..

Further from Netweather blogs is UKMO has High pressure sticking around. UKMO has also proven to be the most accurate ensemble* (?) in the past 31 days.

 

So I'm voting UKMO.

 

(I'm very new to all this meteorological jargon).

 

In vaguely sunshine associated news, this is the best newspaper story of all time:

I do think it's hilarious that science can accurately predict the timing of a high tide or a lunar eclipse in four centuries' time, yet it can't reliably tell me whether or not it's going to rain next Wednesday.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
