They are predicting sunshine on the 19th and 20th, and sunny intervals on weds 21st, which would be perfect if it doesn't change. I see no reason not to be positive about the weather! Thing is, the BBC app / daily prediction is quite unreliable. The TV and written forecasts are the best, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownboundTrain52 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Once we're all on site, the rain may hit if it has to - it's the apoclayltpic downpours of Tuesday and Wednesday last year that were the issue for those who were gridlocked. Only seriously bad rain I think over music time last year for me was TDCC on the Friday afternoon and ELO on the Sunday. Rest of the time, bit of drizzle was fine. Though I seem to recall after I went to bed on the Friday night, the heavens opened again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It get's my OCD twitching. Meteorology can be a bit weird though. Terms like 'extreme normal' being used for La Nina (basically opposite from El Nino if anyone way wondering). Well a cyclone is just the same thing but with the wind in the opposite direction which would be anti-clockwise (in the norther hemisphere) EDIT: One is low pressure and one is high pressure too incase that wasn't clear.

Calvin Klein Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 It definitely rained during the night last year. More than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We woke up to a massive, massive deluge at about 4am on Sunday morning. Luckily it stopped at 5.50am just as we were leaving for our shift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastynh Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 My predictions for the weather: Windy and cold = wear a coat and have a good time. Rain = get wet but have a good time. Muddy = No different from last year, had a good time. Sunshiiiiiine = Get burnt, have a good time. So the forecast is having a good time. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpfranks Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Still way too early to judge the weather, Accuweather are almost certainly changing their mind again as we speak. While it would be great for a sunny one we haven't had that biblical rain like we had in the run up to the festival last year, which means no mud and we won't all have heavy leg syndrome before the music actually starts. As long as it doesn't rain while all of our tents are going up then happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynseyDiva Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I bought waterproofing spray for my tent but I won't need it because this year is going to be like 2010 where it's baking hot for the full festival. I base that on absolutely no science or meteorological knowledge, but instead on the fact that I want to get sun tanned, discard my wellies in favour of wee trainers, and dance about madly in the sunshine! (waking up cooked in your own sweat like a poached egg in a sleeping bag is just a bonus.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzer79 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Accuweather continues to predict a typical glastonbury in which the weather is great until the music starts at which point the rain comes. Don't tell me, Monday will then be dry and warm... Netweather had hitherto been pretty pessimistic but are now forecasting less rain.

40 Days Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Biggest issue seems to be most forecasts indicating a 10-12 day warm spell which we know will inevitably end in rain during the festival... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyDunlop Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Ive never left the farm and not been sunburnt. Got sunburnt on the wednesday and saturday last year. Just what level of redness to expect...pink or tomato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkley87 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 My weather-obsessed sea fisherman father recommends XC Weather as the most accurate. The forecast only goes up until next Tuesday at the moment but is worth keeping an eye on. The forecast is pretty average until then so I'm still hopeful for a good weather glastonbury!

It's all about the Norwegians for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Was it raining lots this time last year or was it earlier than this? Basically, is this year a better run up so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the next week or so is looking dry is much needed boost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
