Saturday a few degrees warmer

[Heartbreaker]

So far so good. The only blip could be that the low coming off the atlantic could easily hit further south on fri/sat and cause some rain as opposed to the drizzle being predicted.

[briddj]

Sat: Not a drop of rain. Much warmer than the last run, up three degrees to a high of 22. Pressure stable.

Yeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaa

 

 

Fuck, that's the Wurzels in the Avalon 2010 all over again get in!

[MichaelsBeard]

This is all starting to look TOO good. Think I preferred the pessimism in a strange way.

[danwood]

So are we pretty much in the clear then? Surely a dramatic change for the start of the festival in the next two days is now pretty unlikely?

[frostypaw]

I think I need to go to bed. This has not helped the excitement levels though!

[GlastoSimon]

There's a huge band of rain on Sunday which appears to divert to the North at the last minute Hopefully it stays like that, although I'm still a tad wary!

 

Great run though

[Alcatraz]

Another day, another positive trend!

[briddj]

Here's all days. Pretty much similar to the last run really, a bit more of a concern about possible issues for Friday but only slim. And we still have the other low on Sunday hitting much further north, but it remains a threat. Still very much winning, with a watching brief. Weds and Thurs look in the bag.

Weds: Pressure stable, no rain, max temp a degree lower at 21.

Thurs: Pressure stable, no rain, max temp a degree higher at 23.

Fri: Rain hitting midday to 3pm, possible a little more than before but still not very much and soon disappearing. Bit more rain in the north of the UK but the worst is through Scotland so it would need to track right down. Temperatures a few degrees cooler than before at a high of 20, but pressure is much higher than on the last run.

Sat: Not a drop of rain. Much warmer than the last run, up three degrees to a high of 22. Pressure stable.

Sun: No rain for Glastonbury, but we still have a big band of rain currently showing to hit around Northern Ireland and Scotland from 9pm on Saturday night through into Sunday morning. Again, don't want that to track south. But now that rain is pretty much done with by midday on Sunday, unlike on previous runs. Max temp down a degree to 22.

Not in the clear yet by any means with those two bands of rain.

At least the first two days seem to be consistenly coming in as dry. Great start to the fest.

[ThomThomDrum]

Think we can be confident Wed and Thurs will be good for us. I'd wait till tomorrow to be getting cocky about the weekend

[pedmills]

To add to that, I've just checked the websites and the average is a tiny 1.4mm for the whole festival.

[GlastoSimon]

Weekend is subject to change, but early days of the fest looking fairly consistent at the moment! To be fair I won't be 100% confident in the forecasts until they actually happen I suspect

[Heartbreaker]

seems weds / thus is nailed on, if we get similar results on tuesdays runs regarding saturday, and sunday, then its time to post every picture of Phil Jones holding silverware as possible.

Touching 30 degrees?! Bloody hell. That's actually hard work, but shouldn't complain!

[Redwinevino]

11:40pm - Sorry everyone, but it appears to be raining! #Glastonbury #Glasto2015

Steady light rain in Frome right now.

That's about perfect though, isn't it? A smattering of rain two or three days before everyone arrives. Settles the dust, softens the ground.
