We just need to be wary of that date range of rain between the 6th and 10th pushing too far out later. As sad as this sounds, I'd be quite interested in collating weather forecasts for the next week, and then comparing them with the real weather afterwards to see which was most accurate. I'm not sure where you could find accurate weather stats for days that have already passed though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagpussSeesAllThings Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Does that bloke still do the weather updates on his website? Can't remember his name or anything but he seemed to know his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't allow him internet access in the maximum security wing at Broadmoor anymore since he decapitated his own mother and used her skull as a bowling ball. Hes completely insane. Heres the weather forecast from this day in 2016. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padgey Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Getting all the rain out of the way this week so there will be no more left for June! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyT Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 It can rain all it wants this week and next week n all. We just don't want biblical storms (a la 2016) when the traffic on site increases closer to the festival. The festival does all it can to keep the ground in good condition but ultimately heavy vehicles are required to go on the grass so the less rain around those points the better!!

EamerRed Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) So I've created my own 'Weather Thingy', or 'The Dinghy' if you will, for the week ahead, to compare the different sites for accuracy, and in the unlikely event that it's any good I'll keep it going afterwards. And I wonder why I can't get laid. Edited May 15, 2017 by EamerRed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelarmy Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 The next week looks to be the worst of the weather leading up to the festival. This coming Wednesday looks particularly grim in terms of actual wet stuff coming out of the sky. http://www.metcheck.com/WEATHER/16days.asp?zipcode=Glastonbury&locationID=57455&lat=51.1&lon=-2.7 The month after however does improve and this is the crucial month. There's a smattering of showers but nothing on biblical proportions. http://www.metcheck.com/WEATHER/180days.asp?zipcode=Glastonbury&locationID=57455&lat=51.1&lon=-2.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagpussSeesAllThings Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Just reading the thread from this time last year and it looks about as optimistic as this one, which does not fill me with confidence... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's now part of the netweather website forcasting team. Speaking of netweather over on their forum the folks are discussing the fact we may have 2 -3 weeks of unsettled weather with a marked improvement following. That came from a very detailed post of which most part was seemingly a foreign language it was so in depth! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
