So I thought I’d try & work out how much difference this really makes. 🤓 Here’s some data from Yeovilton weather station - obviously not the festival microclimate, but monthly rainfall should be pretty close. First, wet years: Now dry(ish): And finally the average of muddy v dry: So basically, it’s all about what happens in June. Muddy years have tended to have more rainfall in the preceding months, but it’s the weather around the immediate time of the festival that counts. State of the ground may be less significant than we thought! 😂 Sadly though it means we also shouldn’t be too excited that Jan & Feb rainfall so far is well below average… ETA: If I can be bothered I might have a look at day-by-day data for June, if I can find it. By the looks of it when it rains in June is critical - 2019 for example had an above average rainfall for the month as a whole, but I think it must have been early in the month?

Is this mm, cm, m? * the data over the 7 days is 0, 2, 3, 2, 3, 15 and 0mm. Total 25mm.

Fair point re: june/June - just chucked the data into Excel to generate the chart and took little care Denoted in the key at the bottom, it's mm.

deebeedoobee Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Would have been perfect festival weather today. Warm, sunny but with cloud to keep the blue skins happy. Slight breeze to keep the air fresh around the long drops. Dry grass to sit on. Perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
