Either way, it's fair to say that the 18z is developing a strong pattern for heavy rain next Sunday. 

Outlier, mate.

SATURDAY - No rain of any real note, but the temperate remains a woeful 17.

Is this the famous Pilton forcefield at work? 

 

 

It's actually REAL!!!!! @deebeedoobee

Overall, it's even worse than last night. There might not be as much rain over the weekend before, but the festival itself would be miserable.

The good news is the 18Z is clearly an outlier.

I've been watching this thread pretending to know what's going on... When we say miserable, is that a wash-out or less than hot weather or?

ECMWF 12z Looks a LOT better than it did. 🙂

In that case, mostly pretty damn chilli and a few showers.

Thanks!

I can live with that. I'm not the biggest fan of heat (I'm currently in bed with no covers and the windows open at 13°) but the rain and mud is what does me in. Luckily my worst year has been the storm in 2014 but I'm absolutely dreading a mud bath every year!

I remember Briddj from 2019 on here. He did us proud then; I have faith.

It’s a good example but it works even at at more micro level. From memory in 2019 there were people in other parts of somerset getting biblical rain while pilton was bathed in sunshine. It’s probably the most important site upgrade. No need to worry about drainage if you can just divert the rain.

Accuweather does not make good reading today..

It’s becoming clear that there’s only two possibilities when it comes to weather for Glastonbury. 
 

Heatwave or rain. 
 

Bring on the sun!

All change on the GFS this morning.  It brings the rain in earlier, so a wet spell in the middle of Saturday…with a few showers following behind.  And temps much lower - low 20s wed-fri, then right down to 17 on sat/sun. Still all could change though, as we know!

Other models starting to come in range.  This is the GEM, a Canadian model, showing a meaty finger of 25c over the site on Wednesday evening, so predicting a lovely evening to go watch the sunset at the Stone Circle.

And another day starts promising myself not to continually dip into this thread every hour and here I am back on the rollercoaster.

At least today "we work"

[westholtschic]

Where’s the Azores finger from last time when you need it 😂

[Crumbleflaps]

So basically nobody knows f all 

[Crumbleflaps]

I remember in 2019 the weather was due to be horrendous but changed to magnificent at the very last moment.

[AlexOvd]

BBC weather are the ones remain positive about next week, including rain on the weekend before. 

[steviewevie]

So it could be sunny, dry, wet, cold or hot?

What is the actual point of these long range forecasts?

BBC have to be impartial. If they forecast sun they also have to forecast rain as well. 😉

[steviewevie]

Yesterday weekend festival was looking scorchio, now it's looking lovely and cold, and maybe a tad damp.
