The Weather Thread 2019

My God the Wimbledon88 guy on Netweather is a fucking depressive. Everyone is positive and then he strolls in with his bloody doom as usual. 

Doooooooooooom.

Yeah, because valleys don’t channel rain from other areas ?

I grew up in a valley where it was always wetter than the local news said it would be, but here we are - most of it did miss the festival site.

Hello all. 

I've updated the table to reflect we're officially within two weeks of gates opening... 

 

In short. Unsurprisingly, the past week has been very wet compared to previous years. But 2017, 2014 and 2010 had pretty wet weeks this far out from the festival and all was well come festival Wednesday. 

All will be well!!

 

 

Or in other words... in any year we've had over 15mm of rain three weeks out (2009, 2010, 2014, 2017) it's been absolutely fine. There... is... a pattern?

I got married in 2010 just before Glastonbury and I can remember having serious concerns in the weeks leading to the wedding & the festival. To be fair I was willing to sacrifice my wedding for the festival and it did rain on the day I got married but not all day.

The day before I got married I remember being torrential. During the weeks before I got married I can remember repeating the phrase - ‘This weather is really scaring me now!’

The we had 2010 - it was amazing. No one knows how this thing goes.

Time to renew your vows?

I keep telling myself every time I log on ‘do not read the weather thread’ yet here I am, everytime.

The 00z seem to show a better pattern, showery next week then pressure building and improving from Saturday onwards. Go go go azores finger

I’m off to IOW festival on Friday. It’s looking a tad damp. Happy to take one for the Glasto team to appease the weather gods....

Thank you.  What you take for us in IOW echoes in eternity.

BBC forecast this morning gives 90% chance of rain all day today, but then it looks dry through to Wednesday with rising temperatures. Looks like rain again next Wednesday though.

I reckon it could be where @russycarpshas gone. 

I miss that misanthropic orangutan.

" The Oz GFS is very good in the extended.  High pressure in control "

We have a chance, we have a decent chance here. But it can all still change. At least we have positive signs.

[Cooter]

This is good news, we live in hope, please let this happen. Looks like low to mid 20s overcast with occasional sun and maybe the odd shower or two.

As much as I hate any rain I'd take that 100%.

[briddj]

"The bad news is the 00z GFS Ops fails to build any sort of pressure through the middle part of next week allowing some quite active frontal activity across the UK giving again some pretty wet conditions at times however the really good news is that it looks as though it’s in the bottom quintile of the ensembles. So yes next week certainly looking less bad and hopefully some drier, brighter and warmer conditions on the way if still mostly cloudy at times... "

Looks quite damp on the webcam and the rain radar.

Likely to be there until mid-afternoon - but only very light rain.

Fuck that. 2017 wednesday was awful. Nearly passed out twice. 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Is guaranteed roasting hot weather. I spent £75 that I dont have on new boots. I'll be in trainers all weekend.

I'd take a repeat in a heartbeat. It was glorious.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Bigger worry is that high temperatures could come with thunderstorms.
