Trunks1993 Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Only trend i've noticed is that the 06z GFS is usually w*nk. Party-on if that trend is bucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscore Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 I do enjoy how it's not ok to say you struggle in hot temperatures but it's totally fine to react to wanting a cooler festival by saying "OH YOU WANT TO DROWN IN FLOODS THEN?" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more that people shouldn’t turn there nose up at what is perfectly normal weather for British SUMMER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s fine to talk about people’s preferences when they’re completely the opposite of the sort of weather you’d expect for British summer time and by some incredible coincidence, the weather we’ve experienced for every festival since 2016. Temperatures around 25 are entirely normal and to be expected far more than any other type of weather, hence why shock horror, that’s what we often get, in the summer no less, who’d have thought it?

But rain is also entirely normal, and people keep reacting like a single drop will ruin the festival. Ok, nobody wants another 2005/2007/2016, but a bone dry glasto is still an anomaly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drinky Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 NFRNFC started up for a reason after the 2004 Saturday morning deluge then Friday 2005 then literally all of 2007... I can totally forgive some of the newer folks who think that baking hot sun is the norm and want a bit of rain around. But still we're NFRNFC. I did my time with the river running through my tent on Pennards in 05 and a waterfall cascading into my trousers at 2am in front of Bill Bailey in 07 and now I want to sit on the grass in the dry sun and have a smoke and a drink 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain is normal but so are temps around 25 in British summer time. It can hardly be surprise that a festival held just after the summer solstice might have some temps above 20 degrees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people find heat draining and that limits the energy people have to party. Some people find rain and not being able to sit down on the ground draining and that limits the energy people have to party. None of this should be controversial. Mentioning either is OK here, it is a safe space. 🙂 PS NFRNFC 😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotAnInsider Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Some agreement forming this morning on the overall flavour of weather to expect: Until Tuesday: Heavy showers. GFS is too low resolution to manage these, so just puts slabs of rain across entire regions. What we will likely see are heavy localised downpours; so the farm my score a direct hit or stay completely dry. Warmer than average, but not as hot as this week. Tuesday - Thursday. Likelihood that we will see some rain at some point but probably light. Remaining warm. Friday onwards: Early signs of a southerly influence brining some heat. Still very far out. I think it's going to be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutella Versace Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Tempers seem to be getting a bit frayed on here. The only certainty is that we will have weather. The only thing we can do about it is prepare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic if so Things can change I guess, but it is starting to look more settled. These are the Thursday and Friday forecasts. They still show miniscule rain, but I'm ignoring it. I'm liking the way the overnight temps are holding up, which makes the SE corner a bit more enticing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themunn Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 I'd really appreciate it if the weather could be a nice cool low 20s on Wednesday instead of bloody 30 degrees whatever it was in 2017 2019 and 2022. You slog and carry your tent and everything in the baking heat then you have to put it up and die for the remainder of the day. Just please stay cool for a bit until at least I have my first pint poured. Still, rather it 30 degrees than rainy. Saturday 2019 was probably the toughest day I've had at glasto, though I did go to bed at like 8.30am and wake up at 11 with the heat so perhaps it's unsurprising.
