Nope, the high causes the rain to fragment when it hits the UK - simply sporadic light showers.

You're forgetting to add together all the rain that's supposed to land relatively evenly across the South-West for the next month to find the true figure for the rain that will dump itself on Worthy Farm on Friday.

True!

I'm broadly in favour of all that's been predicted.

[Alcatraz]

Fuck me, these temps are hotter than I am after running around for the last hour packing

[Mr Splodge]

Are the morning temperatures still a bit chilly? Or will we have tent sauna by 8AM

Well the rest of the UK looks like its gonna really feel that rain on Sunday, it's just a case of whether it will come low enough for us to feel it

High teens early Thursday morning, low teens for the rest

Sunday is starting to look threatening I'm afraid. Not right now for Glasto, but a lot of rain just north.

[jparx]

Right now I would happily trade a downpour on Sunday for cracking weather weds-saturday! Hopefully it all works though and we have a smashing weekend of weather 

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Cheers for the updates briddj.

My only worry now is that over the last few years I've found Met Office very good at getting short term forecasts right and really want that Heavy Rain symbol to fuck off so they fall in line with the very low rainfall GFS is showing.

[briddj]

Onto the 18Z update....

Good news. And not so good news.

Weds and Thurs in the bag now. Friday is markedly warmer than it was and probably is a little drier. But the downside is that it now forecasts showers practically all day on Sunday with the very close threat of something more than light showers (especially early morning through to morning). That Sunday is being a real pisser, but still a lot of time for that to change.


Weds: No rain, max temp stable at 21, pressure stable.

Thurs: No rain, max temp a degree lower at 22, pressure stable.

Fri: Light showers hitting the site about 1pm, so later than in the earlier run. Again minimal threat to the north to make matters any worse. Those light showers now only set to be around til roughly 9pm so improvement. Really minimal rain. Max temps three degrees higher 23 (that's five degrees higher than two runs earlier), pressure stable.

Sat: Same as earlier with the chance of a few very light showers in the afternoon but really not amounting to anything at all, and certainly nothing to even remotely worry about. Temps stable at 20, pressure a little lower than earlier.

Sun: This is more about the risk as much as what is in the direct forecast. Showers now skirting literally just north of the site from 3am. The patch from 3am to 9am has the threat of being some heavier stuff, so we wouldn't want that tracking south from Wales where it is currently hitting. We remain on the cusp of worse rain, but at present only get light rain but it will last until around 7pm before clearing. There is the definite threat of some persistent stuff until early afternoon, again which is currently hitting Wales, which we really don't want to be hitting us. After 7pm there is not a drop of rain across England! Max temp has dipped back down a degree to 16 (bloody hell), but pressure stable.

[frostypaw]

Smashing work guys, in queue nice dry and almost warm lol

[A Guy Called Matt]

BBC and yr show hardley any rain on Sunday.

[deebeedoobee]

Carol just said expect rain on Friday and Sunday

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Most forecasts now look great, so why are Met Office persisting with heavy rain on the Friday?

Really, really annoying.

You will need them. Surely being a Spurs fan, you know the worst is going to happen?! COYS

Very true!

I'm taking them but hopefully I won't need them. The forecast is looking a bit better today. Rain only Sunday now.

Walking boots for me....served me well last yesr even in the mud....less chance of them being sucked off and less chance of sweaty boot rash anyway even if its raining haha muddy legs i can deal with! Sweaty itchy uncomfy boots? Nope!

Yeah I'm taking my walking boots too. Only time they ever get a run out is at Glastonbury so I'm hoping just to wear them the whole time. Well, until the ground gets cut up on Sunday.
