i'd be extremely happy to see biblical rain in the glastonbury area around the end of june, it just feels like a fair swap for next year's doubtless dry and not too sunny perfectitude

Lightning, blizzards, sandstorms, the works. Let the climate get it out of its system this year and give us a clean slate for next year.

We could always have lovely weather this year and lovely weather next year

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's the lovely weather over the previous 4 years that you need to watch out for.

Are you turning into @The Nal

The opposite. I'm hoping to up the odds of a warm dry festival in 2022.

It's the hope that kills you

The entirely of Somerset being under 3 feet of water in late June this year can't hurt, right?

I don't think that's how it works. Rain this summer doesn't make rain next summer more or less likely 😛 

I would take a blizzard this month though.

[Padgey]

It'll be 20 degrees sun and cloud this year, absolutely perfect!

plus the small thing of global warming ... might not make a difference from 1 year to the next ... but ...

I have a little applet that runs so that when the temperature at worthy farm is above a certain temperature then it moves some money into my Glastonbury 2022 savings pot for extra beer. 
 

that way everyone wins

That sounds super useful - I want it! What’s the applet called?

The Pilton residents must hate all of our superstitions on a fallow* year.

*enforced!

They can take one for the team and wear a cagoule for just one weekend.

It’s on IFTTT called the summer savings challenge and it links your Monzo account with weather underground to put money in your savings account. 
 

im going to do one for winter when the temp drops below a set level.

Looking dicey for Glastonbury weekend: 

Currently over the five days themselves it's looking like 19/20 degrees and mostly sunny with some cloud. Looks bang on perfect... Although, thunderstorms and flooding predicted this week, and a lot of rain at the start of next week. What fun we'd be having on this thread right now if it were happening!

(Just realised we'd only be nine days out.... Sigh)

[Skelts]

The weather is looking spot on.  Anyone looking at this would take it in a heartbeat.  Dry, not too hot, bit of sun over Saturday/Sunday.  Almost perfect.

I think 2020 would have had a fair bit of rain if it had gone ahead as it tipped it down on the Saturday when Jo Whiley presented that Glastonbury Live thing on BBC2.
