Weather 2016

[mario man]

The Norwegians have gone off piste again, predicting rain this evening but I can't see any other sites saying the same. They are saying dry & sunny tmrw though which I like 

[parsonjack]

The sun has just made its first appearance on site 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Big band of rain north of / on top of Cornwall. 

If it sticks to its current SW to NE trajectory it will (hopefully) miss the site....

Love it!

I've still got Colombo / Sri Lanka in my weather app from a trip there earlier this year and just had a total conniption when I didn't realise I'd accidentally scrolled up and was looking at their monsoon forecast.

[justperfect]

Met office & bbc still showing no rain(.5mm which ammounts to nothing) throughout the weekend 

[CaledonianGonzo]

On paper it looks incredible...but then they didn't clock this morning's rain coming at all...

There's rain on the radar over Bridgwater at the minute

Weather absolutely glorious on site at the moment. Getting very sunburnt

[Wallace]

Just flicking through my weather app and Vegas popped up, smiling suns across the board

Quite a satisfying feeling sitting here in Edinburgh watching all of the rain passing by just north of the site.

Looks like Bristol is catching it in the neck, but hopefully we'll continue to be lucky.

Fuck the weather. I'm at GLASTONBURY

[CaledonianGonzo]

French Humid Air and the High Pressure Isobar lads doing incredible work on the festival's behalf right now.  Love those guys.

[Jacko45]

Not going guys but love the Glastonbury thread gets me very giddy for my Latitude Festival trip.

Weather looks great for the rest of the weekend for you all! So go on and enjoy it now.

Have a great one all

Quick summary of where we are - almost certainly clear of showers until Friday pm, good chance of staying dry for whole weekend:

 

- BBC and Met Office have knocked off any forecast of rain for the site since this morning, and kept it off

- The band of rain that we thought might hit tonight is well north and not a worry, and also looks like thunderstorms are staying East. In fact, sunny for rest of day to dry out site

- That aside, exact location of showers over the coming 48 hours TBC, so could change over next day or so and we might get unlucky. Met Office south west shows patchy light rain around the site on Friday pm for example, which is probably why it keeps dropping in and out of the symbol forecast

- Sat and Sun now look good time sunshine 

 

Generally, really can’t complain, big improvement from yesterday.

 

Norwegians say 3.6mm rain Friday, less than a mm Saturday, which fits with above.

 

Choosing to ignore GFS runs now because they show patchy rain (albeit light) Fri/Sat/Sun. Also, looking back at last year’s weather thread, Met Office called it correctly on Tuesday evening / Wednesday before festival (they subsequently became more positive after originally forecasting Friday’s heavy rain).

 

So site might be okay by late Friday!

[TokiDoki]

Radar shows lots of showers passing by just north of the site (on site - can see the dark clouds!)

Latest yr.no shows showers on Friday, maybe something more persistent during the afternoon.

[Winslow Leach]

Showers can get to fuck, I'm here and that's all I give a shit about.

Radio silence begins now. Have a good one guys.

Do you think it's safe yet to remove the Welly Warning for those of us arriving on Friday?

Ha ha.

From reports I've heard it's quite a polarised site, patches of complete armageddon and other fields all grass and already sit downable.

Lovely jubbly.

At the gates it's a death trap. Only been here sitting at the Pyramid and the ground is perfect. Will report as I move round the site. 

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Good man

Light rain shower back on Friday lunch, light rain showers back in Met Office Sat pm forecast, 30-40% chance.
