briddj is probably furiously typing away a lovely summary and you steal the thunder! 😂

I actually wrote it up to Sunday night. Was waiting for Monday morning and forgot while packing the car!

@briddjyour contribution has, as ever, been immense. As a Friday arriver, I will wallow ignorantly without you for the final day of waiting, but thank you for all the work, and for the happy tidings about the weekend. Have a brilliant festival.

Fair play for all the good work! 🙂 Enjoy the festival

I’m convinced it’s never going to rain again.

Nice work as always @briddj, have a great festival and see you in the 2023 Weather thread.

I'm here all day tomorrow too so will post (less detailed, less good) GFS run updates in your absence when I have time.

"Thousands of people heading to Glastonbury Festival, which opened on Wednesday, could bear the brunt of the conditions - with the event close to the edge of the weather warning area.."

Hmmm, so not the eye of the storm then?

Third festival in a row I’ve actively looked for shade to sit in on Wednesday. Looking forward to lower temps/cloud (but that’s IT)

I remember thinking that in 2007.

[stuartbert two hats]

Although to be fair that was stupid, because the weather report said we were in for a right soaking.

[steviewevie]

Fuckin ell. Too hot.

[elgatonegrofabricwardrobe]

Too hot. Far too hot. Fuck bags of crisps bring sliced potatoes in and leave em in your tent.

I’m in. Still plenty of room in Bushy Ground. Not expecting a dry weekend, there’ll be plenty of showers about.  But for now, bring on the sun!

[Jon F]

My tent is an inferno.  I can however confirm the bread and roses is a lovely temp in the shade and has live music about to start

Yes thank you so much!

It’s all looking so much better than I feared earlier in the week…

So so excited now

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Mid-afternoon update:

- Storm warning still in place so have to watch that, BUT

- BBC now forecasting no showers after Thursday at all

-Shower risk on Thurs down to 30% on Met Office and only one hour of 40% on Friday, and one of 40% on Saturday (previously on an off all day)

In short - it's all coming up Millhouse 😎*

 

 

 

 

*Provided a 2005 style flood doesn't happen on Thursday night 

[mttJ]

In. Pitched. Could be too hot?

There’s no ‘could be’ about it 🥵. Though it isn’t raining 😁
