briddj Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 On to the festival proper then. FRIDAY There is a band of rain that pushes across the UK in the early hours. It will bring a bit of a soaking for the start of the main stages. Dry after this. Highs of just 18 now. The two most recent pressure charts are slightly different now (most recent on the left).

Same could quite feasibly happen with any rain forecasted for over a week's time... You're telling me, that forecasting weather is an imperfect science and previously confident predictions of weather even a few days out, can be wrong?!?!? I've wasted my life...

jparx Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Just a reminder on that Friday rain - it's still eight days away. The weather in the next few days looks far better than initial predictions, meaning it's very likely now that ground will be dry when we arrive. Still a while to go until we know the actual weather during the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briddj Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) SATURDAY I'm afraid it's a nasty day. Rain and highs of just 15. Rain clears before 9pm.

Although looking at the picture it's an up to 20% chance of rain. Maybe it's just me but that's hardly something to get too worked up over. We live in Britain there's always a chance of rain.

briddj Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 SUNDAY A dry day! But max temps of just 17... And now the low is getting pushed out of the way. In this run, the low basically sits over Glasto just for the duration of the festival! This is actually a worse run than the last one (on the right) with the low more in command on the Sunday. SUMMARY Another rubbish run, with a nice start but it all turning to crap for the festival proper. But, remember, this is all TOO EARLY. Let's hope for better in 5 hours and some sterling work from the high to the south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BambooShanks Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 According to google, high pressure is caused by downward moving air so surely if everyone points their vacuums up at the sky, that will pull down the air and create a nice bit of high pressure that'll keep us dry over the fesitval. It's basic science. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
