Didn't something similar happen in 2019?

Had to edit that first post on the 06Z has the charts page had cached for me!

THIS WEEKEND

The Pilton forcefield is in play in this update, with the rain pushed out eastwards. There will be some rain on the site, but nothing of any concern.

 

And the good news is that the high pressure appears to be winning the battle. So far.

 

I'm watching this run, and that high out to the west, it looks like it could be pushed away further West by the low from the North... I hope I'm wrong 😞

[DareToDibble]

18-20 all weekend with no rain. Lovely. STICK.

Watching that low sweep in is like watching a car crash

[briddj]

Dry through to the gates opening on Wednesday morning. But then there is rain, temps of 13.

 

This is because, worryingly, low pressure is starting to push in from the north and looks like it's going to win the battle. Strap yourselves in.

[HyperTechnoHorse]

This is an absolute car crash of a run.

[AlexOvd]

Not reasons to be optimistic now. That prediction from Accuweather is a shitshow with 11mm while in the festival. Damn.

[Henrik]

13 degrees!! 

And that is a maximum temperature.

Correct. There was lots of rain about in 2019, especially in the immediate lead up and every rain band that swept across the south west managed to mostly miss Pilton  

Beleive in the force field.

Wet Wednessday

Dry Thursday with HP looking like it's coming back in to play (similar to the ECM run this morning)

If there is a force field, they installed it in 2017, because in 2014, 2015, 2016 the exact opposite was true - it was the Pilton localised downpour magnet. 

[The Nal]

Great so getting pissed on and dealing with mud when the gates open.

 

[briddj]

First two days of the festival.

WEDNESDAY

Light rain around during the day, but it does clear later. But a high of JUST 13.

The low is skirting the east of the UK, rather than taking over, but it's still having a bad influence.

 

THURSDAY

A dry day, temps recovering to 18.

High pressure appears to be trying to fight back for the weekend.

Genuinely, what do you get from your trolling? 

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Nothing wrong with this run. Slightly more rain on Weds but slightly less on Tues. Otherwise as you were. 

[Jay Pee]

Our work Met Advisor has just sent me this.  indicating that it is all still to play for..

Biq question marks currently over how much rain falls in SW England in general Sunday/Monday as the brief burst of heat Fri/Sat is displaced away S’wards. Hence it could be quite wet or the rain may have been soaked up with no issues. Monday itself could well see some residual rain falling in the Glastonbury area and there remains potential for some showers possibly heavy/thundery during the first half of next week. Alternatively it could become largely dry – it’s a very volatile situation and the models haven’t yet nailed down which way things will go. The trend later next week is more definitely pointing towards settled weather and warming up again.

Enjoy whatever the weather but take wellies or strong boots just in case !!!

[The Nal]

Forecasts 10 days out are a load of bollocks shocker.

Think you are in the wrong thread, sir (or madam). Rational thinking is not what we do on here

[Alvoram]

All hope isn't lost... The 6am Friday chart shows high pressure is definitely attempting to fight back!!!
