Yes, some very disturbed output this morning. No need to post charts. We could as I said several weeks ago be looking at a 2007 Summer. 

That lad definitely voted Brexit party...

The thing that worries me is 100% cloud cover is not going to dry the ground. We need some sun! 

It doesn't matter if it's sunny as long as it's dry and warm enough though right?

Right. But I'm thinking more of the next 10 days. The site is pretty wet currently and if it doesn't get a bit of sun to dry out we will/could have 2016-type mud even if the weather is OK during the festival.

Yeah you're right. I'm never going to say no to sun at any point either. I'm too tired to even have feelings towards the weather now we're on our fifth day of rain in Newcastle.

Right, lunchtime. Got my soup. Let's check the weather thread I'm sure it can't be...

They’re sheltering under a tree in readiness. 

 

It’s all too much for my nerves in here. I’ve gone back to bed.

[tumbles]

Can you send some of it west? Working from home and have tried to put my washing out twice now, only to have to run out and get it again. The rain this week is getting me down man.

I just think even if we have mud it’s not going to be to 2016 extent... by this point in 2016 we had had 6 months of solid rain, and by all accounts 2019 has been fairly dry aside from this month. The ground has a lot more capacity than it did this time 3 years ago.

As much as i'd love that to be true, i reckon if he we keep getting rain in the build up, and then more rain during then it *could* quite easily be a repeat of 2016. 

But also, we *could* have seen the worst of it and we may get some sunny days during the fest and it could all be lovely.

The midday GFS run now has virtually no rain over the whole festival - a bit on the Monday before.

Temperatures on festival days of:

Weds - 19/20

Thurs - 18/19

Fri - 17/18

Sat - 20/21

Sun - Not in range

 

So a considerable improvement from this morning. You see, it's JUST A ROLLERCOASTER

[kaytee...]

Need to stay off here, accuweather forecast now looking a bit grim too.

Sun's out in Manchester now though ??????

If we get 2016 levels of rain, then yes it could be like 2016.

But right now the ground is nowhere near as saturated - not even close.

We’ve reached that stage where all my non-obsessive friends are asking me for updates from the weather thread ?

[Skoo]

I'm in an abusive relationship with The Weather Thread.

Someone wise once pointed out that every time you see a clickbait headline phrased as a question, the answer, always and universally, is No. Glad to see the rule still holds.

Accuweather again, shows rain in the little icon but in reality is showing ‘trace’ amounts of rain in the detail. Fear not
