The threat to Sunday morning is indeed greatly reduced!

[jparx]

[Alcatraz]

A better run than earlier with any threat to Weds or Thurs non existent. Friday could be showery, but in doses I think we expected to have even yesterday

[Spindles]

I reckon it all depends on how that high to the north behaves.  

[Space Shanty]

Sunday is indeed one to keep a close eye on. We may be fighting two waves. So far the runs have us us winning

 

It's not often you can say that about the runs

[MrPink]

That's like swapping a weedle for a pikachu. Good deal.

 

Superb analogy. However, i'd rather have a Charizard.

Walking boots and gaiters in the bag.

 

See you all there, if you haven't already been swallowed up by mud monsters.

Good news.

Huge improvement for Sunday from earlier, which basically has no rain now. Thursday also clear now. We still have the showers on Friday with the threat of something further north.

We've lost some of the heat on Saturday, but all is still good.

Weds: No rain, max temp same as before at 20, pressure stable.

Thurs: Now no rain forecast unlike earlier and no danger in view, max temp same as before at 22, pressure stable.

Fri: Light showers in the afternoon to early evening, with the threat of something a bit more (but really not much) early evening if the rain set to hit Wales comes further south, pressure maybe a little lower. Max temps of 20 so a degree lower than before.  

Sat: No rain to speak of forecast, pressure maybe a little lower.  Cooling continues with max temp now of 19

Sun: Big improvement here with no rain now forecast to hit until 3pm (was around midnight before). And even then it is literally a drizzle. Max temp of 22, so up a whopping 5 degrees from earlier. Pressure much higher as it keeps the rain band from hitting the UK.

YES!

Is it windy on site, looking at the glasto can, all flags are fully elevated with the wind?

The flags all have top rails so they fly all the time

Having successfully deflected my work stress until after the festival I was entirely ready for a shock. Still waiting.

Phil Jones, who has had to fill in in goal because de Gea got sent off and Valdes got injured warming up, Has just parried a long range shot out for a corner

It's still 5-2

What time's the next update?

 

 

Starting about 11pm for the GFS run. J10 weather report normally about 10pm. Loads more in the morning.

[devonhammer]

NetWeather festival forecast not looking too shabby:

Your posts are a very helpful summary, thanks. What time's the next update?

Always helps when they're positive, too!

Yeah it will be about 11.15 by the time we get Sunday.

 

J10 normally posts 7pm-9pm though (but it will be based of these models anyway)

[frostypaw]

Next update is the 12z ensembles, should be with us in half an hour or so

This is much more fun than when we were picking which apocalypse we fancied

[GlastoSimon]

I still don't think Jackone will be amazingly positive, but probably a bit better than the last few reports!

[Koroviev]

I am not impressed that Jackone has ditched his 0-10 rating. He needs to replace it with a Phil Jones reaction face. 

[ogriff]

What does the "z" refer to?  Actually, what does the number before the "z" refer to also??

 

Or should I not worry my dunce-y head about it?

I'm popping out to play football (hopefully not getting an injury...) so I expect good news!

Think it's Z for 'Zulu' which is the international code for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) with the numbers being the time.

[stopwn1981]

yr.no upping the rain a bit, particularly Sunday.

[frostypaw]

German for time is zeit. That's all I've got

much prefer the zulu time business as an explanation, after all it matches up around the world in every time zone

Exactly. We get them late (up to 6 hrs late) because it takes a while to get from the US computers to the NetWeather computers and then turned into pretty maps.

Sounds like that must be off the 6Z runs, as that's gone on the new 12Z.

They get their data from the Norwegian met office and ECMF, so it's different models.
