Best weather thread. EVER!

A wild, wild ride....

An incredible mix of Uber optimists, pessimists, psychics, trolls, wannabe meteorologists, old wives tales believers, white witches, global climate scientists and sceptics.  A typical  Glastonbury crowd. 

Me? I just pin my hopes on good old auntie beeb (and hoping that by increasing my monthly direct debit to wateraid it will somehow bring good fortune on us)

So to sum up the ride we all need to pack the canoe.

Either to escape from the lake or to turn over and hide under for shade.

Here's the 00Z then.... what will it bring?

Pressure: Rising to Wednesday though it's actually not as strong as before. Low again moves in to take control on Sunday.

Precipitation: Rain still arriving 3pm Sunday through to Monday morning with a bit of heavy stuff in there, as before. The dry until Tuesday morning when another band of heavy rain is showing as moving through 9am to midday, similar to before.

Now a bit of rain around overnight into Wednesday, but dry when the gates open and there's some showers around at midday on Thursday (it's not much). Then looks dry (though risk of some rain late on Friday) until 3pm on Saturday through to 9pm when there's a fair bit around. Very light rain around late on Sunday.

Max Temperature: Today 19-20, Sunday 21-22, Monday 21-22, Tuesday 20-21, Wednesday 25-26, Thursday 24, Friday 26, Saturday 27-28, Sunday 19-20

Summary: Midweek temps have shifted towards the end of the week. I would sort of call this an average run as the Saturday afternoon rain wouldn't be a laugh. Come on you high pressure, fight back!

Ever since Jackone changed his name by deed poll, the weather thread has gone full on bonkers.

Good quote from Netweather

 It takes a genius with a crystal ball to forecast rainfall amounts for a specific area over a period of days that far ahead, particularly in a showery/thunderstorm environment. And that certainly doesn't include the models. As far as Glastonbury is concerned ti is a waiting game

Ok, I've been away from this thread since about 5pm yesterday.  Where we at now?  Still a scorcher?

We knew in 2010, we knew in 2017, we knew in 2016.

This year, we'll know in July.

I've still got the line up of foot related items - wellies to sandals awaiting a decision. Need a bigger bag....

Good lord. The worst run yet that. I'm starting to get a bit shook. Fully realise the specifics right now are pointless but the continued pattern of rain in and around the south west makes for horrible reading. We need a big 06z....

Come on, the 00Z is not as bad as yesterday's relenteless rain from Friday 3pm throughout the WHOLE FESTIVAL!

Met office ramping up - if this comes off it’ll be quite frankly amazing 

[Ohinever]

Since this Omega thingy is reminiscent of this, I'm hoping for a last minute victory against the odds.

Yeah, why is everone just focusing on the GFS? Lots of talk of good runs from the other models and talk of hot dry weather too.

Because that's the only site we can read......

[Ohinever]

Pilton now, BTW.... 

[Nobody Interesting]

Met office, YR and BBC all showing 99% dry all festival and are updates from the last runs. So what do they know that @briddj is missing?

Note to self, waterproof sun hat needed.

The SLP/H500 thingy majig seems to suggest that high pressure wins out through weekend and lows stay west over towards southern ireland.

Am amazed at the number of pages and views on this thread - everyone seems to be having a great time speculating over the weather as usual ? Maybe if you aren’t a Gold Member by now you you should think about it!  Keep @eFestivals going- where else would you get this much entertainment outside of the festival itself! 

[Flysheet]

I’ve been saying don’t trust the BBC for days and now we find they’ve got the best forecast. 

I’m sticking to my guns, don’t trust the BBC!

Don't trust them, fine, but definitely keep them, right?
