I'm quietly optimistic. Seems like no-one really knows though. BBC with light rain Sunday and dry the rest of the time, Accuweather with thunderstorms Thursday and Friday, but clear the other days. But we shall see....

This morning yr no were saying 6mm of rain on Friday, now they are saying 0. It's definitely still too early.

It’ll be hell, helI, I tell you.

[HastingsBoy]

I'm not loving the latest AccuWeather or Weather Outlook forecasts for Sunday! ? BBC has a bit of rain too. Fingers crossed it's not another repeat of 2017. It will probably change again tomorrow! ?

We are up and running on the met office. 

Thursday looks fine, bit concerned that this warm spell looks like it'll have died off by the time of the festival though.

as of this morning, yr.no looks good

 

happy to take a drop from mid 20s temperature if it stays dry and (in a perfect world) sunny

[jamesrfisher]

This is the most reliable long term one I know and looking pretty good (used by sailign community heence it's name)

Met Office, which has a weather station at Larmer Tree, has it as dry through Saturday (which is as far as their detailed predictions go) right now - around 19-20 degrees rather than this heat, fortunately, I've done a couple of festivals where at least one day has been 30+ and that was enough - but Friday in particular I think is going to need keeping an eye on nearer the time. Also their UK long term forecast says: "over the weekend, into the start of September, it will probably be fairly unsettled nationwide. The heavier rain will be most likely in the northwest, with southeastern parts receiving the longest dry and sunny spells. However, there will be a risk of thundery showers breaking out across the southeast at times."

Looks like it could go either way. 

It's going to be a nervy few days watching it change.

It's looking pretty good to me? Chance of some rain on Saturday but generally everyone seems in agreement that it's gonna be mostly dry.

EOTR Nal has more positive outlook. Not as many fish around to catch either.

Rain now forecast for Saturday and Sunday. Not much but the direction of travel of the weather is some concern

That forecast shows two raindrops -TWO! - 24 hours apart. I think we can cope with that.

[psbros]

As long as we get no heavy rain for long periods it’ll be great.

Plan B is to change allegiance to some more Big Top and Tipi bands! Worse things have happened...

and it's worse now. That's my point. It has gone from 20/21 and sunny two days ago to 18/19 cloudy with showers.

You need to stop stressing, it's got time to change again - in fact it already has, only one raindrop now.?
