Raining quite heavily at the moment I'm afraid. Not sure what time it started.

Cats hiding indoors.

This is all as forecast / expected.  It's what happens next that's gonna make or break things.

They'd best break out the wood chip

Agreed. It's all about tomorrow, really.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I've seen photos where they already have.

I'm lying in a caravan a couple of miles away. It's been raining steadily all night. It is still raining now.  

[CaledonianGonzo]

Aye - but regular rain that you'd put your hood up for - or a repeat of the calamitous thundering downpour that happened on Friday?

[Spindles]

Webcam looks pretty grim at the moment, satellite shows that the way the cloud has formed there is a streak that looks like it might carry on over that way for a while.  As ever, things could change and the 7am images should give a better idea of how today might go.  Less confident this morning than I was last night.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Last night we were still expecting this to last until lunchtime. I don't think anything has changed.

Had to host it on YouTube as it's a 12MB file but have created a video from the US National Weather forecast showing the rain at 3 hour intervals over the last 48 hours and for the next 72 hours. Green circle is Worthy Farm (from grid reference)

Lots dumped recently and still a fair amount to come 

 

The time lapse from the US Weather service i created on saturday has been bang on the money so far. Will get a bit heavier this morning before it gets better. 0.8mm at 7am, up to 1.1mm at 10am.....then broadly in the clear from then. Will collate another today to cover the next 72 hours.

Oooh.... The rain has stopped..... 

Shhhh! Don't tell anyone we might jinx it!!!

It was always predicted to rain Monday...no suprises there's. It's what happens from tommorow that counts. 

[stopwn1981]

This last week of weather has been proper poo - I had a better week in Yorkshire in February! Benicassim next year I think.

Due to be sunny this afternoon...

[guypjfreak]

shit shit shit

[rpfranks]

BBC reckons that thunderstorm on Saturday might reach us after all. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not showing them for Pilton... 

[rpfranks]

I know, but if it's showing for G then there's no reason why it can't reach us. Countryfile report said it would be around northern France and the south coast but seems to be moving north...

Wednesday - Warm and dry

Thursday - Warm with increasing risk of thunderstorms

Friday - Sunday cooler with showers but OK.

[CaledonianGonzo]

   Yeah...it's definitely a risk. Just hope that it's far enough away that the margin of error is in our favour.

Is pylon OK to camp if it's muddy? Trying to stay as close to coach gate as possible due to my bf buying everything online instead of ordering from cozy camper. Mallets and everything. Got a lot to carry  I think everywhere will be a bit muddy but it's not going to be a flood fest is it?

Not too bad considering the last couple of weeks! Tonight and tomorrow should be dry as well from what I've seen.
