Sku Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 From a Facebook memory. On this day in 2016... it's not even close to this bad. And the amount of rain predicted over the next 10 or so days is actually pretty minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some dry spells, some rain. Some mud but not energy sapping like 2015 or everywhere like 2007. On the scale I’d say it’s looking like 5-6. If it’s like 2015 I’d be well happy. 2015 was lovely, bit of rain to remind you that you're at glastonbury, not too hot (i can't handle heat too well) that I'm dying by day 2 and not too much mud.

We were incredibly lucky that the festival wasn't on that weekend. It rained for the whole time and the mud was obviously still there. At least with 2016 it was warm and the rain was manageable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t have yellow warning thunderstorms from the met office for tomorrow and Wednesday until a couple of days ago. Still all rests on Craven next Sunday evening - the countryside loving bastard!

mufcok Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Think I underestimated how bad the build up to 2016 was. Not sure how, given that our minibus was towed out.. upon entry That's made me a little bit more positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithy Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Has taken me flippin' ages to find the address but knew I'd posted it on here in every weather thread for the last few years. This - https://earth.nullschool.net/ - is a really cool global view of the weather. Think it is updated every few hours with the latest data. Menu options are in the bottom left - click on Earth. It then allows you to choose all manner of data sources and types as well as replay weather patterns from the last few hours, etc. Doesn't really add huge amounts to the 'prediction chat' but you can at least see the weather patterns at the moment and in the past. Plus i find it quite cool. Click and drag the 'earth' to rotate and zoom in. Is much cooler with a touch screen or VR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bags73 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Having looked at the Met Office Hazard Manager site it looks like if the site can escape the worst on Tuesday/Wednesday we’re going to be ok. The Yellow Warning for rain doesn’t cover the site anyway. Looking at the predicted rain rates there’s a fair bit going to fall but nothing stupid. After that there are a few showers around but that’s it until Sunday. Tuesday/Wednesday is the key if we’re to avoid it cutting up too much as all the traders arrive. We may yet be ok.

Looking at what it was like in 2016 at this point and considering how dry it has been the last few months plus on top of that the dry weather forecast from weds on to Sunday. I think we are pretty much safe from any bad mud. I’m still gonna bring wellies/boots but I imagine I can survive in old trainers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
