Weather thread 2015

[Magma]

The merest MENTION of wellies being left in cars and we've had a downgrade.

[Magma]

Can we keep to weather predicting instead of rubbish shaming?

I believe there are points where you can drop your unwanted tents off on site.

Yeah there was a tent drop off point in pennards on Monday last year. Right next to my camp

I'm not intending to shame anybody.

 

We all know we're doomed with the weather anyway.

Indeed. Take the spat elsewhere guys. It's really not relevant to this thread.

Is that one to do with Camp Light I wonder?

Here are all the days on the 06Z run. Definite downgrade in the latest runs I'm afraid. Now a threat of some rain on the Weds and Thurs and a weakening of the high pressure on Friday. And a much wetter Sunday with rain overnight and light rain during the day until tea time.

Weds: Dry, though slight threat of rain has appeared to the north later afternoon/early evening. Very, very light nothing of concern). Pressure a tad lower than earlier. Max temp still 20.

Thurs: Again, the threat of rain has now appeared, though at the moment should be north of Glastonbury and there's not much to it. Pressure a tad lower than earlier, max temp down a degree to 22.

Fri: Very, very minimal rainfall if any at all. But once again there is the big band of rain which is hitting Northern Ireland and Scotland which could track down. Pressure noticably lower with the high pressure falling into the continent. Max temp down three degrees to 21.

Sat: Any rain would be exceptionally minimal, so looks like a dry day so far. Pressure lower again, though. Temps down a degree to 20.

Sun: More troublesome band of rain than before, hitting in the small hours just after midnight. Heaviest (and I mean heaviest, not actually heavy) around 3am. Then very much lighter stuff all day until it clears at around 5pm. But still heavy stuff to the north of the UK. Temps much cooler, now at 17 from the 22 of earlier.

So... Not much rain, cooler temps dropped a bit from previously thought.

Fantastic. Thats all I want.

[Mark it Zero!]

Netweather's midday update still is a thing of beauty, A lot of cloud early on, Things glorious from Mid Saturday afternoon through to the end of the festival.

 

Not a single mm of rain.

i reckon it may snow......

[briddj]

Basically, I think we'd all like to see the rain picture improve at 5.15pm. We don't want that to worsen for fear the trend will continue.

[Tigerdragon]

Gotta keep that trend pointing the right way. Which is horizontal. I want to be able to put up shelves with that trend line.

[CaledonianGonzo]

So it's another 4 hours before we start to see whether there's a worsening trend or not?

I thought they were doing it pretty well tbh

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

I know the concern is the trend, but to put it into perspective all that run has done to metcheck is add 0.2mm of rain to Friday and 2.9mm to Sunday.

Metcheck was pretty bang on with when the bursts of heavier rain were coming through last year, so I'm inclined to have some faith in them.

 

I guess the issue here is predicting thin localised showers five days in advance is pretty much anyone's interpretation. Also forecasts will be quite conservative, 'just in case'.

That's beautiful. 2mm over the whole 5 days. Mostly overcast. Not too hot, not too cold.

 

I'm saving my Bobby Moore World Cup image, but he's getting ready.

[denwyn]

It's not what you've done in the past that's the big problem here, it's your attitude towards it.

Ok my attitude may be wrong, its not to say I don't believe in recycling, just my age group wasn't brought up on it. No excuses though, at least I won't be leaving anything this year.

[Purple aki squat]

Please tell us, just one more time, how utterly fucked we are.

Are we?

Just facetimed the dudes I work with who are on site  setting up and it was windy with blue skies and a wee bit of cloud. The showers haven't been bad at all.
