Same here....just a series of about 6 massive bangs....then nothing more!

As long as it’s not the Plains or the quarries all good! Have a great festival, just about to hit the road…

am sure we will all be back for the rollercoaster and knife edges of the 2024 Weather thread 

Hear, hear - sweep stake on the final page count for the 2023 thread? When does the 2024 one officially start?

Bit like GnR set on Saturday

Out of upvotes!

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.

The Finger is not as pronounced as it could be.

ITS OVER

and out 

[Avalon_Fields]

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.

It's all about the pointing finger of snot.

Sunday is not within a reliable timeframe so we're not out of the woods for Elton.

[Glastonlocal]

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.

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.

Nice one Briddj - many thanks indeed for all the weather efforts this year!

Appreciate the work you’ve put in these last few weeks! 

[Duggyfresh44]

Yes thank you everyone it’s been a treat to follow this year. Now on with the real business. Let’s go and have the time of our lives!

[tim]

 

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.

How I'm feeling versus the anti-NFRNFC crowd right now.

Yeah scary stuff on the beeb. I don’t know how we’ll all cope. Awful, it’s over, etc etc

[BBC7BBCHEAVEN]

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?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Met Office is still looking good.

Above Tipi Village by the trees. Lovely views. Perfect for a nap.
