Someone had a sh*t it my mates shower tent and then they must have let themselves into their awning because they left a pack of walnuts and some wooden Ray Ban sunglasses . My mate sold them on eBay🤣

How much did he get for the walnuts?

I so wish all the early forecasts were not so good. Given what 2024 has thrown at us so far and how often promise has ben replaced by crap I have the fear.....................................

 

but

The beautiful weather in 2023 broke on Monday as Glastonbury had ended and by the middle of that week the pattern of wet, cooler and generally not great weather had set in.

Will we get the total opposite this year with finally this pattern of gloom replaced by this thing I am told would be called summer?

 I agree with you. It's too soon for these excellent forecasts. 

[briddj]

Another hot, hot, hot GFS this morning. 

 

Absolutely no rain in this GFS either. 

 

Too good too early!

 

31 on Saturday. 🙃

I've gotta disagree, we've had awful weather for so long so its a reasonably good sign that things seem to be changing from next week - even if it does settle into a pattern of warmth, longer periods of sunshine and scattered showers. 

 

It's also positive that for some time (most) models have been in basic agreement that things are trending somewhat drier and warmer toward the end of the month (It's still too soon but consistency is our friend). Can't explain it, but, I feel more positive for the weather for this years festival than I did the last two.

Second day in succession that netweather’s jetstream model is in exactly the right place for the week… fingers remain crossed and in agreement with rlandy95!

[Ayrshire Chris]

So let’s have a low pressure over my house, dragging the warm sunny weather up over Pilton. Let’s face it, after last nights footie there’s already a severe depression here anyway😉😊

Very happy to be disagreed with! I definitely hope you are right. I just don’t want to tempt fate.

I hope it’s not THAT hot, I really struggled at times last year with the heat.

Holy shamoly. The Saharan Plume is in the mix

This is giving me nightmare flashbacks of Gerry Cinnamon on John Peel on the Saturday in 2019. Never perspired so much in my life.

 

Bring on the Azores Fist! I'll make sure to pack my vaseline.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Oh no!  I'm getting flashbacks to warm sunny Glastonburys that weren't miserable rain-sodden mudfests.

[nikkic]

I’d have nightmares about watching Gerry Cinnamon too

Remember that, we arrived late for aGerry Cinnamon and were on the edge of the tent and the heat actually coming out from the tent was incredible, never mind the temp outside.  It was a belter😉
