Just thought. Why am I defending weather forecasting? I'm losing my mind - I don't know what I'm talking about!

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, 12Z is running.....

I certainly don't want you to stop! I just think we all need to take them with a large pinch of salt, at least for a few more days.

I've always been doing that, don't you worry! I'm not expecting this to come off at all.

Forecast from the BBC looks quite grim until you look at each day specifically. Rain forecasted over three days, but actually looks to be very little in the grand scheme of things. I appreciate a small amount of rain can quickly become a deluge, but equally a small amount of predicted rain can miss you entirely.

I'm enjoying it, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.   Whatever happens we'll all be ready for the greatest party on the earth in 7 (ish) days time

Well some of the options on the table from Gav's video earlier today Andy the Netweather guys have me seriously worried. 

One of them is a total washout.

Basically they don't know, it's going one of two ways and we're not going to know for sure until at least the weekend imo.

Agreed, but even then they will likely only have a fair idea up til Friday with the details for Sat and Sun not known til midweek,

Pretty much this really. All about that low. Also, if other models start to agree with the GFS it gets more interesting.

I think we should apply to the Guinness World Records for the longest weather discussion for a single event in history. We have been talking Glastonbury weather since October last year - insane, and we still don't know if it's going to rain or not.

The 06z Somerset ensembles for GFS are out 

Shows the low will encroach on the festival weekend according to the mean of all 20 runs in the 06z suite - however the precipitation mean shows damp conditions but certainly not downpours

I Cant remember off hand the 2013 one, I would have to look at my photos to jog my memory, only one permanently stuck in my head was 2016, worst one I have been to. Looking at the latest weather doesn't really help, there at odds with each other. What we need is no real heavy rain from beginning of next week, thousands tramping all over the place from Wednesday will soon churn it up if its very wet. Myself I would be happy with cold and dry, not sunny and wet underfoot. It will be what it is, nothing we can do about it. 

2013 was minimal - I think 4mm rain and most of it was Thurs evening for an hour or so.  Unremarkable in terms of temps/sun but dry and no mudbath. Give me that all day long..

I think this is what we’ll probably get this year. Nothing spectacular in terms of temperature but fairly dry

GFS 12z is basically showing the warm air not making it in, quite a different run. Much cooler. Still not a great amount of rain.

When you say not a great amount of rain do you mean, not a lot? Or, a lot, so therefor not great? ?

Here's the 12Z in summary.

High pressure: Pressure still building in from Friday. The plume is still there as before, so that's a long run with it present but we need other charts to confirm. Pressure still sinking away on the Friday with the low coming in over the weekend but not commanding it.

Precipitation: Still showing a fair bit of rain overnight into the Monday, but most of it passes west and north. Tuesday is then essentially dry. Wednesday, there is still that band of heavy rain lurking south of the country just before the gates open but it is now staying in the channel. Instead, there is some troublesome rain showing for around 6pm and through the evening. Rain clears overnight then it's dry all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Still a fair bit of rain around on Sunday afternoon onwards.

Temperatures: Monday 21, Tuesday 24, Wednesday 21-22, Thursday 22-23, Friday 19-21, Saturday 20-21, Sunday 21

So we have lower temperatures now which is much more comfortable. Almost perfect temps I'd say. Could do to lose the Wednesday eve and Sunday rain.
