briddj Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 We're almost locked now. Will the dirty little 06Z throw any spanner in the works? TUESDAY The GFS is showing the threat of rain this afternoon, but there appears to be nothing on the live radar. That means a full day of drying in good temps of 20-21. WEDNESDAY Dry when gates open with temps of 19. Still showing the possibility of some very, very light showers in the PM - but again nothing of note. Temps of 21. Overnight temps into Thursday: 13-14. THURSDAY In this run some light rain does skirt the site in the afternoon, but every chance there's no rain at all; highs of 22. Overnight temps into Friday: 12-14. FRIDAY Completely dry, highs of 20-21. Overnight temps into Saturday: 14-15. SATURDAY Completely dry, highs of 25 Overnight temps into Sunday: 15-18. SUNDAY Completely dry again, but still with doubts over the low pushing in early, highs of 25-26. Temps through Elton are still up at 20-21. Overnight temps into Monday: 12-14. SUMMARY! Yet again a brilliant run with no rain of any note whatsoever. We've even tracked back up a degree on Friday. There is still some doubt about what could happen on Sunday yet - that day is not in the bag. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 The ground is already drying out well, it’ll be dry enough to sit down on the grass later on today. There’s only small pockets of mud on the tracks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glastonlocal Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 All hail Briddj! Thanks for the updates, a gigantuan effort. Looking like perfect festival weather. The best one yet. Pack the suncream. Stay hydrated. The lightweight coat/poncho in case of a shower. Stick the wellies/boots in just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, been watching that low develop over the last few days and its making me nervous. Fortunately other models/ensembles aren't showing rain on sunday (yet) so I'm cautiously optimistic that we will avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Thought I'd peep out of my lurking to say... Excellent work, briddj. Have really appreciated all your efforts this year. Hope you have a great festival. Also, this is way too bastard hot. Please can we have about 30% to 50% more cloud cover and some regular tasty breezes? Thank you, very much.

BBC7BBCHEAVEN Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 It's so hot here at the minute, honestly can't imagine dealing with another 5°c on top of this by the weekend Hopefully Fuzzy can post a topic on best shade spots at the festival?
