Take an umbrella, I did in 2019 - instant shade, and if it rains, it doubles up....

Not great if you are the one that gets the run off though ?

Umbrellas are the worst. As someone who is significantly taller than the average, having to dodge umbrella spokes that are at eye level isn’t fun in everyday life. Having to do that at a festival is beyond annoying.

Will that Jackone chap be updating at netweather?

Met Office Long Range

Sunday 5 Jun - Tuesday 14 Jun

Generally a fine and dry start to the period for most, especially across northern areas. More cloud is likely to be seen across the south, with potential for some heavier showers in the far south and southeast. Unsettled conditions may return more widely into the start of next week, with rain and strong winds arriving from the west on Monday, before clearing to scattered showers later. Temperatures are likely to trend near normal by the start of the period, perhaps feeling warm in sunny locations. Further into June, more settled conditions are expected to return, though some showers are still possible locally. Southern and southeastern regions look the most likely to remain generally dry. Near normal to rather warm temperatures can be expected towards the end of the period.

Wednesday 15 Jun - Wednesday 29 Jun

It is likely that conditions will stay relatively similar throughout the second half of June. Drier weather is most likely across western/southwestern areas, while rainfall is more probable in the east. We can expect above normal temperatures for most throughout the period.

Oh yeah looks great!

 

Cloudier conditions continue in the south with some sunny spells, but showers or even thunderstorms are possible. Further into the month, a low pressure system is likely to develop to the west, possibly bringing some more showery conditions

Yeah, anyone who has taken an umbrella spoke to the face will attest to this.  For some reason the kind of person who uses an umbrella always seems to be one with no spacial awareness or consideration of those around them.  

Get a pack of those cheap ponchos, throw one on if it's raining, shake it off and screw it up into your pocket/bag when it's done.  Re-use it til it rips, I usually use the same one all festival unless it gets destroyed.

Realise you have a reputation as a born pessimist/weather troll to maintain, but that's for the first half of June.

Yeah thunderstorms the week before the festival. Like 2016.

[JoeyT]

GFS charts start to show the Weds of the festival as of this coming Monday.

That'll be when the real fun and games start.

Pack your wellies.

From the Netweather forum.

Charts in the picture show 17th June.

One of the best things I've ever taken to the festival is one of those brolly hats. Kind of a mini umbrella that attaches around your head with elastic. Great for rain, great for sun and just about wide enough coverage to roll a spliff in the dry.

Its only 21 days!

And there are thunderstorms possible

Its time to panic FFS!

Usually I'm not one to indulge The Nal's pessimism but some of the forecasts for the next few days paint a horrible picture with lots of rainfall predicted. 

On the bright side, the worst of it is forecast over the bank holiday weekend so I'd would assume (well, hope) that there won't be as many people on site / heavy vehicle movement at the time to churn up the ground.

Most of the forecasts I've seen today look very reasonable for the festival itself - mostly dry apart from some showers on sunday, temps in high teens / low twenties.  Still too far out to get excited / scared over any forecast though.

definitely too early to be looking at any forecasts, that's for sure.
