It's the rain during the run-up that could knadger the ground though.

on a positive note though, thank f**k Somerset isn't getting the kind of rainfall that Lincolnshire is lined up for this week. Because there would be no going back from that!!!

Rain during the run up is fine as long as it stops. You can be wearing wellies on Thursday and flip flops by Sunday as long as the rain stops and that with the festival in full flow

latest ensembles are interesting

the mean Air Pressure is rising towards 1020 as we approach the start of the festival which will mean generally settled conditions as shown on the attached precipitation ensembles as well which show minimal rain

from the 22nd June the mean air pressure is 1020 which currently shows a pretty much dry build up.

Of course this far out the pattern could change and this models updates every 6 hours, but a trend can usually be spotted early on if you look at all 20 model runs within the timeframe

Sounds like the worst of this week's weather may miss the southwest.

Grim down in Kent today, really really grim.

Let's hope the site dodges a few bullets this week...

Still sunny in Bristol at moment. Looks like a wet week but rather now than in a few weeks time..

So what did your scientists say the weather was yesterday in Pilton? I’d like to compare that with what actually happened. Then let’s see who good they are.

Weather aside...were you at PWMC on Saturday when my friends band Sgt Thunderhoof won the round?  Good gig?

It’s always a great night. There is a great variety this year.

Forecast for Tue 25 Jun 2019 to Tue 09 Jul 2019
General Situation: Considerable uncertainty in this period, but overall a gradual trend towards generally more
settled conditions is expected, but still with occasional unsettled spells of rain and breezy conditions at times.
Temperatures around normal for the time of year, with no particular signal for possible periods of higher
temperatures, so at this present time, trigger criteria are not expected to be met during this period.

 

That's the Met Office forecast this morning.   It's going to be pants this week but then gradually improve as we move toward the big week.   

I'll take that.

[kaytee...]

I take the forecast with a pinch of salt. Was supposed to be pissing down all day here but at the moment its warm with blue skies.

 

Here's where i'll probs regret not bringing a raincoat later.

There’s only one bus I’m interested in...

ITS BLOODY SHITE! Even the dogs refused to go out in it. 

[rawrsomesauce]

Quite pleasant in Cardiff at the moment, blue skies with only some clouds

Down with the pessimism, all I want to know is SPF 20 or 30

[Thunderstruck]

Lets hope the site holds up after this weeks barrage of rain. 50-100mm in a few days possible. With luck it settles down a bit after this week but it doesn't look like any prolonged settled weather on the horizon. 

[jfaragher]

I'm in South Devon, and it absolutely lashed it down on Friday and Saturday.  Went for a run yesterday, and the ground was already dried out.

As I said before, I think the biggest worry is rain during the event, rather than in the run up.
