Really?

Absolutely torrential here in fallowfield with thunderstorms. Well it was from like 10-1amish anyway

Nothing here. Well I went to bed at about 11, nothing then. Woke about 3 for an hour and up now. The path and windows outside are bone dry.

Hammered down here in Denton/Tameside at about 10pm , bit if thunder and a bit damp now. Sun looks like it's going to be putting in an appearance very soon though.

Hopwood which is kind of the Heywood / Middleton border.

As I have got into Midd and towards town there are puddles. If there was anything at home, it couldn't have been much. It was all bone dry when I looked out at 3am

Manc's swamping the weather thread... look how desperate we are for some sun 

[Larraht]

It was been beautiful, bright sunshine here in Plymouth since the middle of last week and I'm closer to Glastonbury than Manchester so...

[p.pete]

This is descending into actual weather!

Not looking quite so bad today

Just watched the local forecast and they said there was lots of uncertainty from Saturday onwards. If that is the case then I will take no notice at all of any forecasts for two weeks time.

They can only predict specific weather with any reasonable accuracy 3 days in advance. All you need to look at this point is the trend in pressure- if it's looking like just high pressure about, then the weather should be good and quite easy to predict. If it's just low pressure dominating, again it's easier to predict but will be bad. If there's a mix (which what its looking like) then it becomes unpredictable and we won't know what way things will go until a few days before hand.

At least that's what I have gathered from following these threads over the years!

[Trout Mask Replica]

I'm absolutely convinced Glastonbury creates it's own microclimate anyway which makes any forecasts beyond the extreme sun/rain variety completely irrelevant.

All those people congregating in a square mile or so creates funny meteorological energy I am certain.

Anything could happen...

Latest run has some low pressure hanging around:

Not a massive low and only on this run, but it needs to clear off in subsequent runs

So the main threats will be that low pressure to the north east and the one to the north west- I like that it's high pressure everywhere else

Accu weather and festi weather are looking good today, if we can just freeze frame that forecast that would be great

I don't want it to burn man! ;-)  Just a nice dry festival would be nice.

Always worth keeping an eye on this thread as we get closer to the festival. Bods with far more knowledge than me talking about weather

1-2mm a day is almost not worth bothering about. We had a mental shower last year on the Friday, made a few banks a bit slippy, but nothing to worry about.

[mungo57]

Shame Lemmy died.

 

I remember the rain last year on the Friday stopping almost on cue as soon as Motorhead walked on.

[Trout Mask Replica]

Got absolutely drenched up the park for Wolf Alice last year on the Friday.

Found out my so called waterproof was as much use as a chocolate dildo in the Sahara desert.

Found a firepit to dry off by but it was pretty heavy rain.

[Winslow Leach]

The rain last year during Mary J Blige didn't half make No More Drama seem even more dramatic.

I got absolutely fucking wet standing at the pyramid, I'm sure it was the tail end of Alabama Shakes, my phone suffered massively fatal water damage

Yeah Alabama Shakes was a washout.
