Hello there everyone in the queue! Let's see what's coming up for the morning, and through the festival on the 18Z.

TWO MORE TO GO AFTER THIS!

WEDNESDAY

Overnight you might experience a bit of mist, but it's dry through to gates open with temps of 19.

Still showing the possibility of some very, very, very light showers in the PM - but nothing of note whatsoever. Highs of 21.

Overnight temps into Thursday: 13-14

THURSDAY

Completely dry, very small threat of light showers in the area, highs of 21-22.

Overnight temps into Friday: 13-14

FRIDAY

Completely dry, highs of 19-21.

Overnight temps into Saturday: 15   

SATURDAY

Completely dry, highs of 24-25.

Overnight temps into Sunday: 15-18

SUNDAY

Completely dry but with a very real threat of rain close by, highs of 25.

Temps through Elton are still up at 18-19.

Overnight temps into Monday: 13-14

SUMMARY!

This is an upgrade on the 12Z, with Sunday temps 4 degrees higher at 25. But there really still is uncertainty about what the low is going to do exactly on Sunday. We probably won't even be sure when my last update comes at 11am on Wednesday.

This is how close we are to Elton being a washout right now.... but the odds are still massively in our favour.

 

Thanks! I can take over Wednesday evening and do morning updates from Thursday if anyone will be checking?

[stuartbert two hats]

Scientist crew any thoughts on this? 😬

[dansy]

En route! Lots of fog. Have a great festival all, I’ll probs check in a few times this week to see if there are updates re: a rainy Sunday 😅

Some pretty small / localised but heavy looking sh*t heading north over the site this morning.

Need the forcefield to work its magic.

[watsonjm]

Fog is rolling in think over east car parks 

[DYRTFT]

@briddjtell us the rain is missing 🤞

Rain radar doesn't look too threatening at the moment

Move it forward a couple of hours 

[Dave_c]

Whilst it'll dry up pretty quickly I hope that rain misses as it makes for a miserable morning for setting up. Forcefield needs to be ready.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

 

One last gauntlet to run - localised heavy showers through this morning according to UKMO, highest risk before midday. 

[benww]

Anyone know where I can get a flag printed that says “the nal was wrong!” at short notice?

[churlie100]

Could I possibly be cheeky and ask for a report for next Monday from @briddj? I'm worried that big clump of rain will miss us for Elton but then bucket it down overnight and make getting off the site a nightmare.

Woken up to lovely clear blue skies in Frome but obvs things can change quickly. Came on here to check what to wear today -  none the wiser 😆

A brilliant run but Sunday is still fraught with danger! Knife edgey!

As others have said, there's nothing imminent. 

I'll include the latest radar in the last update.
