Not sure I'll be needing the factor 50 after all! Mid 20s would be quite a bit hotter than 2017 (apart from that wednesday where it got to 32 degrees). Definitely sun cream weather!

Glasto Weatherwatch Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 OK, weather latest: - 06z run keeps everything nice and dry as always. No real change ? - Temps topping out at 25/26 on Saturday - One additional consideration - Met Office has issued a yellow warning for wind Thursday / Friday in Cornwall. Doesn't reach Somerset BUT GFS shows it'll be pretty breezy Thursday into Friday. Which might be a pain re: sound on bigger stages and re: dust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe we're set for great festival weather when it's been so dire over the past few days here. It's cold and wet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lubic Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Colleague just started lecturing me about the weather prospects for this weekend, as if I hadn't been lurking in this thread since October, and as though this would be brand new information to me.

Casually dropped the battle between the European high and the Atlantic low into conversation at the pub over the weekend, and everyone looked at me like I'm mad.

Zoo Music Girl Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 After a couple of humid and hot days in London today felt positively fresh! Perfect weather for getting to Victoria, overcast and not too warm, which was so much more pleasant than the journey up in 2017. Really feel like we might nail the weather this year lads. Over halfway there now and feeling quite calm but contented about being at my favourite place in the world again soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbailey80 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) The rain BBC predicted at 2pm is not happening now. The radar shows it shot its last loads over Beaminster. You now have clear skies for the rest of the festival. Enjoy. Edited June 26, 2019 by danbailey80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
