Sheffield Steve Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 ECMWF still has a mostly dry Saturday, but gives us a pretty wet Friday evening. It goes to show that the models are all over the place at the moment, and there’s not much agreement on the details. The only day they all agree will be dry is Thursday. This is Friday evening.

moogster Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 This week end Hellfest is France is expecting 35+ degrees temps. They have giant water sprayers that shoot water up to 60 meters away. I am wondering if the GL crowed would love this or start screaming in horror "NO MUUUUUD!!!" From what I read it all seems fine to me, just need to know a bit more as to choose my lower legs coverings. So keep up the good work Weather Thread!

THIS WEEKEND Some very, very light rain around. Virtually non-existent so essentially dry. WEDNESDAY MORNING - GATES OPEN Totally dry right through to now, temps of 18 at 9am. So, let's start the high vs. low pressure roller-coaster! Latest on the left, previous on the right. It's a very, very similar picture through to gates open. But what will happen after this? First days of the festival. WEDNESDAY Totally dry, highs of 22. Very similar, but is the low starting to spin downwards earlier than on the last run? 😶 THURSDAY Totally dry, highs of 24. But no! On this run the high pressure is only getting stronger on this run! This could be a SCORCHIO update! 🌞 FRIDAY Totally dry, highs of 28. There is a bit of a fight back from the low, but it is definitely weaker than in the 18Z. 😀 SATURDAY Unfortunately there's rain around through most of Saturday, highs of 28. Nothing too bad though and warm at 24. The low pressure is now starting to make an impression - but surely too little, too late, to ruin things? 🤔 SUNDAY Dry and temps of 19. FULLY REPELLED! 🍾 The pressure is reduced, leading to the lower temps, but the low doesn't come in. SUMMARY I think some will want to twist here with highs of 28 on Friday. But it's a second update in a row where the low fails to in against the high. So that is promising. But it's still TOO EARLY and we remain on a KNIFE. EDGE. COME ONNNNNNNNNN LETS BE AVVIN YOUUU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's probably it. plus I think the Covid pounds may not allow me to wear festival pants. Leggings for an eventual chilly night.

Sheffield Steve Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 The midnight run of the Canadian GEM is out and apart from a few showers on Wednesday, predicts a dry festival with temperatures rising from around 21 on Wednesday up to a high of 29 by the Sunday. Too hot. They build an anticyclone over the UK by the Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm scared of having a panic attack in it. Which means Im more likely to have 1. I havent had 1 for a long time, but I also havent been in the sun since. I am determined to enjoy the festival, but if there is a heatwave, the likelihood is, I'm going to suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won’t be the only one. The 2017 Wednesday almost finished me off. I passed out in a slither of shade beside my tent having mild hallucinations (queued overnight so was tired too), just awful. The site wide cheer when that cloud covered the sun in the evening will stay with me forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
