Weather thread 2015

[TokiDoki]

appreciate the updates as I'm not really able to check the weather models while on site!

[sunnyshoes]

Thanks, I'm still here and watching the forecast closely

[jparx]

Just arrives and it is BAKING hot. You couldn't ask for a more perfect day. There's a nice little breeze.

[doogie]

Afternoon update, mainly for me, as it's only me left:

 

Most sites stil saying very little rain Friday.

 

Most agreed it will start first thing in the am, peak round lunch then die out early PM, with the evening being nice and sunny.

 

Met Office still predicting heavy rain, but change the location to Glastonbury (6 miles from site) and they say light rain. 

 

There's now a BBC Glastonbury specific video forecast, and, although it warns of potentially heavy downpours, it also mentions that the rain will be quite light for the most part and will pass quickly.

 

(As an aside - someone on Netweather forums noted that some heavy downpours were skirting close to Somerset on their latest models, so not just Met Office warning of this).

 

So essentially - patchy, light rain tomorrow am and most of pm, with potential for heavy periods if we're unlucky.

 

Sunday looks like either patchy light rain or none at all, depending on how the front comes in. Disgareement at moment, but neither scenrio that bad TBH.

 

Worryingly threatening for a while, with a Welly Warning in place for Friday.

 

Good time sunshine for Friday evening and much of Saturday, with a possible Welly Warning again for Sunday.

Evening update, possibly my last one before I get on the A303 tomorrow....

 

Tomorrow

Woooo - improvement from Met Office through the afternoon! Patchy showers from early morning (10am or so), might get a bit heavier briefly round 11am, should be clear by early pm. This is a big improvement from this morning. So WORRYINGLY THREATENING going into GOOD TIME SUNSHINE.

 

Saturday

Universal agreement on GOOD TIME SUNSHINE, possibly even some SUNBURN HELL after lunch for a bit.

 

Sunday

Latest GFS says NICELY CLOUDY, Met Office says patchy light rain through the afternoon with possibly a heavy shower round lunch. 

 

And that's all the weather. 

[stuartbert two hats]

Almost perfect. It's in "just enough to keep the dust down" territory!

So happy for you all.

[sedra]

Can confirm that it is definitely hot and sunny here- shady spots at a premium!!

[PollyPeach]

I'm still here but going at 640am tomorrow. HURRAH!

[jimmyt]

C'Mon! Even I'm a believer now!

[mjsell]

I'm so fucking burnt - yet in a good way. Will there be some cloud cover tomorrow (Friday)?

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

One *last* update:

Today

May be a shower first thing (ie now), then again at 2pm and late afternoon, but will be light and brief. Cloudy until The Vaccines, then lovely sunny evening.

Tomorrow

GOOD TIME SUNSHINE

Sunday

Couple of light showers, otherwise cloudy with sunny spells, and might be completely dry.

Either way, we win.

Happy festival everyone, someone get me a pint ready at Brothers.

Have a wonderful time everyone, I'll be watching from the comfort of home but I know where I'd rather be!

[frostypaw]

It'll be waiting for you on the dry grass :-)

Woke up expecting drizzle, nothing but sun. Some splatter on the radar but nothing to be seen here

[MrWixi]

There was a light shower last night, but it was next to nothing. Practically a handful of raindrops. That's our 1mm out the way. Bring it on.

Although if someone could turn the humidity down a notch!

[waynewdk]

Looks roasting outside my tent at mo,urggghh hangover

[al_coholic]

Dark clouds approaching Oxlyers from Glastonbury at the moment. Still really warm already though

[dirty_dog]

proper storm weather this

proper storm weather this 

 

Barely anything on the radars and only light drizzle for an hour this afternoon now on the BBC site.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Dark clouds loom

[danbailey80]

So did it dump?

[tumbles]

If it did, looking at the radars it probably was only isolated. Can't imagine the amount threatining is going to do any damage.. and tomorrow is looking glorious.
