I've been to Sziget in Hungary twice and the first year it was between 36-40 degrees all week (festival is 10 days). The dust was everywhere. It was mental. 22 is too hot for some Brits. It's crazy how some of them struggle in any sort of sunshine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprocket, any chance you can elaborate on your forecast? Nothing has *really* changed over the last week or so... We always expected rain today and or tomorrow. It's always shown wet the weekend before. And it's always shown relatively dry over the festival. That's what it still shows now, except perhaps a bit more rain on the Sunday. The ground is ok, they've not had torrential downpours in Pilton. It's fine. Calm down. We're not staring into the abyss of 2016 or 07. It's fine. Everything will be alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stopwn1981 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Meanwhile over at netweather... Well, as I see it, given the sort of values we're seeing advertised at the 850 level, the boundary area between airmasses stands a real risk of a 200mm rainfall event- if everything happens to fall together in a certain way that is. The GFS doesn't really advertise this but the risk is there for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that proves the point - it’s a farm yard in a valley with a river/streams running through it - it’s a bloody basin! Dust this morning turns - with one days light rain - to 2 inches of mud.

Ayrshire Chris Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 The bbc still showing a decent run of weather until this Sunday after tonight then a day or so of showers, 25% precipitation. The run up and the festival itself still showing reasonably dry with low chance of precipitation. Not always dry but light showers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck the music. need to bring the canoe as well In 2007, on the Sunday into Monday of Glasto, a deep low sat over Sheffield. The scenes on the video were caused by around 140mm https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sheffield+floods+2007+meadowhall&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjeyKb84fPiAhVQ0RoKHbs3AA4Q2-cCegQIABAC&oq=2007+sheff&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-img.1.1.0j0i8i30l2j0i24l2.11370.16729..18848...0.0..0.145.2991.0j26......0....1.........35i39.THDaS2jnoaI&ei=dTsJXZ66LtCia7vvgHA&bih=553&biw=375&client=safari&prmd=minv&hl=en-gb#imgrc=q_WuNTJ0FkEg9M If Pilton got 200mm you’d be looking at a major flooding event causing devastation in the Mendips!
