blutarsky Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I was just looking at the weather forecast for the next week and then looked for a longer term forecast. I found a website with a 150 day outlook, so in a fit of optimism I decided to have a look at the weather for the end of June. At present the forecast only runs up to June 21st, but if the festival happens, looks like it could be Scorchio 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 Would this shitshow of a year weather-wise have banjaxed the site for a hypothetical 2021 event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If held this weekend it would have been VERY wet but warm. However we didn’t get much rain in April so the ground is still holding up firm. Mary’s gate puddle is small to none existent a few hours after the rain clears. so I’d say we would be grand although the worriers would still be worrying, and the moaners/ doom and gloomers would still be debating whether to bring wellies or not.

Plenty of time for things to improve for the H2021E. This year woudn't have been too pleasant for early crew.

No. At least, not yet. The gates wouldn't open for another 5 and a half weeks, nothing would be set in stone or even close. Everyone looks back to 2016 which did have an extended spell of crap weather, but the bulk of the damage then was done about 2 weeks out with actual flash floods and then further rain most days between that and gates opening.

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 I assume the water table is quite high though, lessening the ability of the site to cope with anything heavier falling in the run up to the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it’s not. As I mentioned before we’ve had little rain in Pilton up until last week. although we have had some great downpours today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, by now we would be well into scouring all the various long range forecast sites looking for the most optimistic one and hoping it’s true. Chuck in the ground conditions info from those already at the build and it becomes obsessive and checked every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasperella Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 It's my birthday over the weekend so we're having a BBQ in the garden. Normally quite pessimistic about the Scottish weather, my friend just excitedly sent me this.... and it reminded me so much of Glasto 2019. Is that an Azores Finger I see before me???

yehbutnobut Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Just watched the weather for the week ahead with Tomas Shaffernacker. Lots of references to the Azores, and couldn’t help but think of this lovely forum. Just wanted to share that. Have a great weekend 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Given the way that weather works we really need to hope that Glastonbury weekend is pretty miserable this year to up the chances of a scorcher in 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
