BBC report looks beautiful, only one I look at. Consistently right about everything. Except politics. And who to hire as childrens TV presenters

Except for rain on the Friday!

But obviously it's too far out to accurately predict a shower or two on Friday afternoon. I'll assume this is something of an outlier.

BBC is showing rain and highs of 16

[kingbadger]

So definitely not a 2016. But definitely a 2007. 

Now, we are fucked.

[JoeyT]

Being able to rule out a 2016 situation is definitely a solid base to start from.

Away and shite with yer 2007. A bit of rain on a Friday is a bit different from the 3 days of permanent drizzle shit show that was 2007

Game over

 

The ECWMF Ensemble mean also shows a low incursion

 

[steviewevie]

Apparently BBC/meteogroup uses ECM for their forecasts.

so...after a brief interlude of thinking the weather might actually be pretty good...it's as you were...cold, windy and wet.

2/3 of the main music days are washouts with the 3rd being a boot-sucking glue mud day. Atrocious. And the forecast is only going to get worse over the next fee days.

[LinvoyPrimus]

Ah yes, one bad run makes a washout I guess.

It's not that bad.  Showers friday morning and then nothing till saturday where there's light showers throughout the day but not a wash out.

And equally, the forecast can get (a lot) better.  Literally all it will take is some high pressure pushing from the west/south or the low pressure weakening in the next run and we'll be back to a dry festival.

Still all to play for.

So whos "Nimbusman" on Netweather? Thy're referencing "hundreds of people on another forum hanging on every run now! " which must mean this one

[stopwn1981]

It’s trending worse and this is what ol‘Gav will say this evening no doubt in his update. Pitch up your tents and swim to Williams green 

[blutarsky]

This is all bollocks isn't it, fucking weather guessers. 

But that said, should I buy hose wellies I've had in my basket for three weeks, or not?

Buy em, and leave em in the car with some socks inside, and you wont need em. This is the way.

Jo on netweather is doing another update today. Don't think I want to look. But take heart, in the middle of winter a northerly would have that forum quivering and it often downgrades. 🙏 its the same for summer ones.
