Thunderstruck Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Wednesday is going to be killer for people arriving! Looks like it could top 30c. Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Has it really never gotten higher than 27.5 degrees? Man I need to do some back tracking with certain people at some point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briddj Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 GFS 12Z is running. Tues, 27-29, possibly some rain but will dry out exceptionally fast at these temps even if more than showing (same as the last run) Weds, 28-29, no rain (improvement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely not .... Recorded temps are taken in the shade so 27.3 in the shade will have been lots more in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Doyle Rules Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Yeah, that's why I don't think baking hot is good festival weather. If you get in at 4am/5am, you're then forced awake by 7am It's dangerous re sunstroke There is no shade 21 degrees cloudy please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Interesting Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Bit puzzled by the suggestion of record temps on Thursday as in the met office video - Thursday shows as much cooler on all forecasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpfranks Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 So basically, It's going to be hot, it's also going to rain a little which will be welcome and refreshing for most after putting tents up in 30 degree heat and queuing in peak heat times. Wellies won't be needed because even if it does rain the ground is so solid now that it will just not be able to take it in - and we know that if it's warm and sunny, even with a thunderstorm, the Glasto ground does dry up very quickly as previous years have shown. So enjoy the sun on Weds + Thurs and just remember that it's a hell of a lot better than last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also shows showers on Sat, like GFS runs do, while their forecast page (which has been changing throughout the day) is expecting them on Friday. At this stage, verbal forecasts much more reliable than symbols, so go with that I suppose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkley87 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I got mild sunstroke in 2010. This year I'm taking a hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasto Weatherwatch Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Actually quite glad for once I'm not there till Friday first thing, Weds looks mental. 12z run just completed for Thursday, dry, 21-22 degrees, cooling down fast Edited June 19, 2017 by Glasto Weatherwatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impromptu water sculpture my flatmate has assembled in the courtyard in a last desperate attempt to cool the flat would lead me to concur with this assessment.

It's a shame we're getting the other extremes seemingly - 28 and 17. Can't it just stay on 22? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glastonlocal Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 It's got to be warmer than 17, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briddj Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Friday, 20-22, no rain (same as last run) But this is a little too close for comfort. Flies over the north and out to Scandinavia by early afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate who went in 94 came back absolutely mangled with the effects of sunstroke and an interesting hat. We went to phoenix a few weeks later and it was proper heatwave stuff, temps in the 30s and no shade, glastonbury 2010 was a breeze by comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just not used to regular temperatures like this. Festivals in warmer climates do allow for the extra heat plus the locals are acclimatised. This is why I'm spending as much time outdoors drinking cider as is physically possible just to make sure my body is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Seems a very sensible plan, one which I've similarly followed, inserting jazz woodbines for cider. Just going to start acclimatising myself to JD and coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
