While Radiohead was still my favourite ever gig, it took me 10 years to recover from the mud/cold and then I went again in 2007. I remember waking up on the Sunday and was just worn down from it raining again and we left before the last headliner. I chanced it again in 2010 (my favourite ever glasto) and haven't looked back since. This year will be fine - I'm battle hardened from those first two. I've realised that the gear I bring is the most important thing - waterproofs, thermals and decent shoes/wellies. If I waited ten years and got 07 I'd want my money back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BambooShanks Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 The run is far from ideal with showers looking to occur most days. The good thing is that the worst of the rain appears to miss the site so mainly get light showers. Temps are lower than I'd like but still in a reasonable range.

briddj Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Right then, we want trends, trends, trends to develop now. What is the 06Z going to tell us? GATES OPENING Still a very wet Sunday, and Monday night into Tuesday, in store in this run. In fact the 06Z appears to put more rain on the site, especially on the Sunday. The latest chart is on the right, previous on the left. This is Sunday. Tuesday is an improvement on the last run, with less rain, but still some rain nonetheless. By Wednesday at 9am, there's some very light rain around. And unfortunately things do not improve from here. Wednesday is showing as having showers - this is not heavy rain - but certainly a downgrade on the last run. Highs of just 18. This is being caused by a small green area of low pressure to the north of England. You can see the difference in the runs here, latest on the right. But how will it develop? THURSDAY The high pressure begins to build in now, making Thursday a largely dry day with small showers around 6pm. However, highs are of just 18. FRIDAY The high pressure finally tries to build in today, but it doesn't prevent it being another day of light showers. High temps of 19. SATURDAY Unfortunately the high is pushed back by an area of lower pressure, meaning we don't get the weekend boost we've had in recent runs. Yet more rain through the day, though clearing in the evening. Highs of just 17 now. SUNDAY Dry, but max temps of 13. This doesn't make sense with the pressure around the UK so seems to be unreliable. SUMMARY Well, we're well and truly back on the rollercoaster. The area of low pressure on the Wednesday makes the start of the festival damp, and the high never pulls in - so there's rain through the main festival too. Temps not getting to 20 will make it a chilly festival, especially on the evenings. However, this doesn't really seem to be a reliable run with what is shown for Sunday. Definitely a downgrade, but it's still TOO EARLY. Huge amount of uncertainty. See you in 6 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunks1993 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Yeah that run is a shocker. Must be an outlier. Someone share the ensembles quick! @briddj please don't bother with this one, too much fuel for the 'it's over' crew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
___DGH___ Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Every chance the later runs will be better going by the pattern so far. In other words, it’s all to play for and we are no closer to knowing what it will be like. Mixed bag is probably best guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
