Weather thread 2015

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

We've got charts, graphs and coloured maps (sometimes with the colours moving), so is it too much to ask that we have daily Glasto weather updates from a floating map of the UK?

if anyone is prepared to put this together it'd be much appreciated...

It's only accuweather (which doesn't update every day) which is looking bad today:

So seems like next week is going to be great all week - sun sun sun - up until Wednesday night of the festival and then its clouds and thunderstorms. We're a week out on the current cycle. If only Glasto was next week.

So its going to be 2007 again basically.

I don't know why you're looking at Pilton Green (nr Swansea), but the forecast for actual Pilton on there is virtually the same. Ah well, the only way is up. And as Pedmills' chart shows, they are the only site suggesting it's going to be anything like that bad.

Maybe Accuweather is actually ran by Nal?

[GlastoSimon]

Some nice charts today, don't think accuweather has changed so we'll get a better update from them when it does change.

And for some balance, Nal's forecast - as ever - is shit

The Pilton, Somerset one looks worse though

So someone in this thread is summarising all the websites to try to get an average and points out that accuweather is the only one against the trend and that's the one you choose for your argument?

this is Nal for you. I think its a kind of reverse psychology thing to fuck with the weather gods.

Either that or Nal really really loves the rain.

[Gnomicide]

The festival should be in late July, not June. What is the reason for it being now?

Gives me a good excuse not to bring the kids.

I wonder what happened to that lovely chap..............

Oh, one thing I keep meaning to ask. Is the graph that pedmills is updating showing what's forecast over the length of the festival on that day? So on the 3rd the forecast was for no rain at all over the festival and today there's forecasts of varying amounts of rain from different places?

The local news here used to have competition "Where's Fred".

He gave clues and people guessed the town / place.

He hasn't done it for a while.

I used to post daily updates from the various (more reliable) weather forecasters. Thought I'd start again, so here goes:

J10: The NOAA charts are very promising in the run up to Glastonbury for settled weather. The Ensembles go for a settled period the week before Glastonbury, but will it last for the festival, the 7th/9th June runs suggest no, but today's suggest they might.

A long way off still, but the more patterns are starting to emerge time will tell if they are the right ones. However not the worst charts ever seen in the run up to Glastonbury.

GFS: Showers Wednesday night and Friday evening. Only covers until Saturday so far. Pressure looks good.

TWO: Dry (but only has forecast up to Friday of festival).

Meteox: Not in forecast range yet.

Meteo: Only forecasts to Wednesday of festival, but dry.

GFS Ensemble: Likely to be dry, with only a few outliers showing showers.

Met Office: No specific forecast yet, but "Generally settled with plenty of dry and fine weather likely across many southern areas".

ECM: Not in forecast range yet.

YR.NO: Not in forecast range yet.

Yeah I just add up the mm's of rainfall predicted for wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday and sunday of the festival.

As we get closer more websites will start forecasting over the period of the festival. On the 3rd we only had 3 websites, and they all forecast 0.0mm.

[mr flow]

The rain charts are showing up till Saturday morning now and they're showing a lot less than predicted yesterday... Lets hope this continues to trend!
