Pressure: Building to a high through the week before beginning to fall after in the early hours of Saturday. In this run the higher pressure performs much better in staying strong on the Sunday. Good news! Precipitation: Heaviest overnight rain on Tuesday morning again showing to track to the east of the site. Any rain that there is should disappear by lunch leaving a good day for drying. Still very pleasant for the gates opening with this rain missing the south west still. Whole festival is essentially completely dry again. Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon have very light showers possible around the area but you wouldn't even notice it had happened. For instance, this is Saturday AM: Max Temperature: Monday 21-22, Tuesday 19-20, Wednesday 21, Thursday 23, Friday 25-26, Saturday 21, Sunday 20-21 Summary: Temperatures have tracked up slightly in this run, so we have stopped that trend. But these temps are still 3-4 degrees lower than the BBC is reporting. What is noticable is the overnight temps into Friday and Saturday - 18 and 21. Exceptionally warm. So another amazing run. We can now say we are locked in through to Friday with dry, warm weather but we still need to wait a little longer to be sure for the weekend. Reports that we didn't get basically any rain overnight last night means that we are nearly home and hosed - just tonight to get through. I'm confused (no surprise) are we thinking the temps are going to be more like the above, or the higher ones the met office/BBC app are saying? Only a few degrees different but would make a huge difference in practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting the coach, I'd defo take if going by car but if it's this dry surely trainers are fine I'm actually quite surprised reading on various places at the amount of people insistent on still taking wellies.

PollyPeach Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I am actually starting to believe this is happening... I absolutely loved 2010 - although I'm 9 years older now, and have had a child, and I survived on zero sleep for that one which I could never do now. Better dig out hats and factor 50. 2017 I only went for saturday night so missed the really hot weather. I bloody love a glastonbury sunset from the park hill and looks like we will definitely have a few of those. EXCITED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What say they now? The Euro4 model suggests it will hit my old stomping ground Hampshire - so its further East therefore the heaviest precip missing the site tonight I posted the Euro4 earier Edited June 24, 2019 by Aragorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something here? I'm borderline about to not even bother bringing my walking boots at this rate Unfortunately the weather isn't fixed yet.. although there is a high certainty of dry weather and minimal rain, there is still the chance (however slim) that things could still deteriorate by the end of the weekend. If only to appease the weather gods and for you own peace of mind, take some sort of welly or boots for muddy conditions. After all, it's better to have them and not need them, than need them and not have them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm borderline about to not even bother bringing my walking boots at this rate I've packed mine but it's easier to take them as I'm travelling in a caravan so they aren't a burden. I can see that if having to lug all your stuff on to site they're a bulky addition so i'd say best bet is to leave it to the very last minute then decide.

Thunderstruck Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Looks like models in decent agreement now. Hot and sunny to start and turning fresher into Sunday. Very little if any rain forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Interesting Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Always take wellies - else it will rain. Anyway, all forecasts are looking lush. It might change, it might well rain at some point. Whatever happens I think considering what weather this summer has bought so far we are not only lucky (cos we have tickets) but triple double lucky. Sunnytastic Drink loads of water, sun cream on and enjoy every second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 take your wellies - in the humidity and hot temps flash thunderstorms would not be unusual - whilst I do not see it next week the Storm Risk chart shows that there is potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something here? I'm borderline about to not even bother bringing my walking boots at this rate It's the whole walking boots Vs wellies debate again. I'll be wearing my boots down and I've packed some Vans. Wellies won't be necessary and boots will be fine. Some people just choose wellies over boots anyway to be safe/prefer wearing wellies (lunatics). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm borderline about to not even bother bringing my walking boots at this rate Personally, I think it's better to be safe than sorry. if I take wellies and they're not needed, it's been very little additional effort to take them. If it hammers it down unexpectedly and I don't have wellies, I'm screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishman Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) There's a fuck-tonne of rain on the way into the south of England. However, just fire-up the forcefield for a few hours and it should all be good. It's gonna be fine folks. Wear a hat!
