Weather looks great. Maybe not 2019 levels but one of the best of the last ten years

Really?

[nban2010]

The forcast is the best perhaps of the ones I went to: 14 and 15 and the shitshow that was 16.

BBC STICK! Are they using ECMWF by any chance?

What’s the consensus? The BBC update is good to go? Others following the improving trend?

Low pressure is definitely not going anywhere. 

But as we get closer, consensus seems to be forming that the front is quite weak. So as we were generally - on and off showers, one band of more persistent rain - but MeteoGroup are an outlier in thinking this means virtually zero rain. But that's reason to be cheerful!

Meteogroup, they use ECMWF and Met Office. But have somehow put them in a blender and come up with something super positive.

Too much data, I no longer care, I'm too excited.

Not a hurricane, not a flood, not a blizzard. We'll be fine.

Well, I just go by the BBC forecast as it's usually the best imo and that looks ideal. Hot and sunny Wednesday and Thursday to kick off the festival and keep the ground hard, then dry on Friday and a mixture of sunny spells and possible short light showers on the weekend which will be a welcome relief after the heat. No way is it looking like a bad year in any way. And wellies not needed which is always a plus

Sounds 2017-esque.

BBC has now added another degree to Friday. Up to 20 and no rain. COME ON.

I don't remember any rain in 2017, maybe 10 mins at most.

Best case yes. But most forecasts were more positive across the board than this the Tuesday before 2017. 

[fightoffyour]

Great work all. Into the Internet museum you go.

Classic BBC. Highest day time temp of 19 degrees, yet somehow 20 degrees at the same time 😀

Me neither but it could have rained. Just had to check who was on to try and bring back some memories of the weather but all I can remember is being at the front for Foo Fighters and The National and a glorious Sunday watching Biffy Clyro.

There was about 10 minutes of a very light shower on the Saturday about midday. Was at Amber Arcades at The Park and began putting on wet gear only to remove it immediately
