I can exclusively reveal, LIVE from the oxfam field at Glastonbury, that it is currently raining. Had a couple of showers today, which assisted nicely with tent peg penetration, and it’s very light pitter patters with a fair dollop of cloud overhead. No pics cos I can’t be bothered to do the hosting thing. This ends your live weather report! 

Cheers. At least it should help with the muggy temperature for you on site too.

Here we go!

WEDNESDAY MORNING - GATES OPEN

Effectively dry through to now.

And a warm morning again. 19 degrees. That bodes well.

PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT

Very, very consistent now on the high vs low through to Wednesday morning.

Latest on the left.

Game over. You need sun to dry this out and not looking likely for next four days. Game over. 

[briddj]

So, what happens now we're all arriving?

WEDNESDAY

Totally dry, lovely and warm at 23 degrees.

Again, very consistent. I think we can now have a high degree of confidence for Wednesday.

THURSDAY

Dry, and highs of 25. The Thursday evening rain is GONE on this run.

 

And again, almost no difference in the last two runs on the pressure chart.

the weather on the bbc webcam looks quite good right now- well if it‘s not fake 😀

[Tardigrade]

Right so I just dug out my wellies, went to town and bought long socks, a water resistant coat and an umbrella.

Doing my part!

Extremely uterine weather

[steviewevie]

this one looking more like the 00Z one which ended up with that low stuck over UK on sunday

[CaledonianGonzo]

What the fuck even is that?

[briddj]

So, this is where it's gone tits up on recent runs. How are we going to fare?

FRIDAY

Unfortunately, we still have heavish Friday afternoon rain on this run. Clears early evening. Highs of 24.

 

And unfortunately over the last 24 hours the low has started to move in again, the same way as in the 00Z.

Latest on the left, 06Z on the right.

I was out with my family this afternoon and because of my addiction I looked at this thread and told them what The Nal had been saying. They asked if we were still going.

Too early the low. Controlled until Thursday. We will fight that back. 

[HyperTechnoHorse]

Friday and Saturday are absolute carnage on this run. Perhaps biblical. 2007 vibes.

[steviewevie]

that atlantic high is fucking useless.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm not one to kink-shame, but the weirdos who thrive on getting pissed and shat on are going to have a great Glastonbury. 

The other 199,998 of us, less so.

[PolygonWindow]

What’s the ECMWF sayin? Met office, accu have all updated and still have no rain forecasted

And Sunday... Not a good run

 

 

[briddj]

So, it looks like we are again headed for a situation where the low takes charge of the UK over the weekend. Let's find out.

SATURDAY

Showing to rain in varying degrees all day on Saturday. Highs of 22.

9am

3pm

Midnight

PRESSURE

We have an isolated area of low pressure again. Sure it has a technical name!

I've got a BAD feeling about Sunday.

Latest on the left.

Here's a little comparison to the 00Z, which is on the right.

So yesterday was looking great and today it's looking shite. The rollercoaster continues.
