I can't even stay up for the 18Z. Not sure how I'm going to manage at Glastonbury.

Well, well, well.

Now virtually NO RAIN showing on Sunday!

And completely clear during the day.

Delayed till the following weekend?

[briddj]

GATES OPEN - WEDNESDAY MORNING

Totally dry, temps are at 20 even at 9am.

 

 

HOW HAS THE PRESSURE DEVELOPED?

The high is strong coming out of the weekend, but then the low fights back a little through to gates open.

Will we see the high pressure counter-attack?

[briddj]

What about the first days of the festival?

WEDNESDAY

It is getting a bit scorchio...

Max temps of 24 and dry.

 

And the high pressure is holding firm!

THURSDAY

Dry with highs of.... 26!

 

 

But uh oh. The low pressure is really starting to make inroads. Could the weekend go to pot here?

I'm shitting myself 

[briddj]

And on to the festival proper!

FRIDAY

Oh no. Rain around through most of the day before clearing in the evening. Highs of only 17 now.

 

The low is really pushing in now.... It's going to be a bad run....

 

[Familiar2billions]

[Tardigrade]

A family member of mine swears by the Norwegian short term forecast. I'll take it!

So this run.... I'll have died of heat exhaustion on the Wednesday. Then, as I perish - the temps drop. I dont see those temps, but everyone else who wants it warmer does & they hate it.

Twist.

The fact that the rain from this wknd has reduced significantly shows anything is possible with this. The rain it was showing the other day was insane.

[briddj]

SATURDAY

Rain around all day, though not heavy stuff. Highs of a mere 16.

Low pressure is now fully camped over the UK...

 

[briddj]

SUNDAY

The wettest day of the festival yet. And we're down to 14 degrees.

 

Low about the low.

SUMMARY   

Amazing that all the rain has gone from this weekend in the 18Z, and it would be ROASTING for the first two days of the festival.

But this run again shows the tightrope we are walking with that band of low pressure, really forcing its way down as Glastonbury starts properly.

The festival itself has rain throughout, and with low temperatures too it wouldn't be pleasant and rubbish drying conditions even when it isn't raining. Basically, it starts raining at 9am on Saturday morning and never really stops....

But it's still TOO EARLY. And let's not forget this is clearly a MASSIVE OUTLIER.

Absolute, 100% twist.  See you all first thing in the morning for the 00Z.....

Is NICE

That run is a horror show.

 

Good job forecasts aren't reliable this far out

[Liv_October]

These forecasts are absolute rollercoasters - least I can put off the packing for a few more days...

[scaryclaireyfairy]

I think the only thing that changes about my packing is maybe adjusting the ratio of trainer socks to welly socks. So why am I glued to these runs??

Rain for just over a 1/3 of the festival. I'll take it.
