That wasn’t a great run at all. The temperatures are really not that important compared to rainfall. Now there’s not a huge amount currently forecast but that run shows a very changeable festival with the potential for relatively consistent rainfall Wednesday and Sunday, with lighter rain possible on other days. 

We won’t know until next week based on current models. Too much divergence. 

I think compared to the weather we have had, and could be having, this ain't bad.

Also temperatures play a part in drying up any rain that does fall surely?

It’s not terrible, but it’s not great either considering the signs the ECM is showing. We want this to start to move in that direction. 

You're right about temps. But I’d personally rather cool and dry than warm and raining.

You've really expanded your vocabulary!

[Krisesk]

It's going to be a scorcher so don't worry!

One day at a time, it was only a bit of a joke.

@jparx   I will be around for a hug if you need one.

Thanks for this, and all the sterling work you do, but the large bold font is a bit misleading wouldn’t you say? That’s a million miles from what I would consider a bloody great update. More like a bit of a shit update. Rain every day of the festival.

Compared to a couple of days ago, and the level of rain actually in THIS forecast. I 100% think it is, comparative, a great update.

Exactly. It's all about the perception of where we've come from. Compared to that, I'm 100% sticking with it as a great update.

I must preferred your optimistic read of it anyway, tbh!!!

I'm 100% sure you know a lot more about it than me! I was just going off the GFS compared to where we were at.

Friday's update it was a deluge, then Sunday 17 degrees and still with possible rain most days. Now we're up to lovely warm temperatures with a bit of rain around. 

Ideally we'd lose the rain obviously, but we have definitely been on an upward trajectory.

J10 is in.

Rather than what Nal was saying in '16, what about '17?

Netweather geeks are as confident as we've ever seen them at the moment, as the "Ecm 12z ensemble mean gives us a chance of a plume in a week's time and the run ends with azores ridging extending towards southern uk."

Still very early days in all this. If it's still saying this come the weekend, I might start to believe.....

You did not see Comrade Dyatlov in the thread before because Comrade Dyatlov was not there.

[Funkyfairy!]

I would like to report that it’s been a dry , breezy day on site and this afternoon dust masks were needed whilst bin painting as the lorries were kicking up the dust big time

on the flip side thunder storms are predicted the next few days ? 

[Avalon_Fields]

I’m about to burn my ticket to provide a momentary feeling of warmth & dryness.

Comrade Dyatlov was in the long drops having a dump apparantly.

That’s the plot twist for this years festival- turns out we arrive and are surprised by glorious dry weather but unfortunately all die from 5g radiation sickness
