Anyone fancy buying some wellies/ a new rain jacket etc. just to keep pushing it the right way? No Suncream yet please...

 

I've been reproofing kit all morning.  Happy Fathers Day to me.

OK, it’s time to welcome back our old friends, the Japanese.  Their well regarded model, the JMA is in agreement with the GFS and ECM, and gives us a warm and dry start to festival week.  They are more in line with the ECM, and end up with a large area of high pressure over Scandinavia by midday on Wednesday.  This would give us warm/hot weather at least to set-up day but with an increasing chance of thundery showers encroaching from the south.

 

 

 

 

If they keep that high there for the rest of the festival, we’d be in for a scorcher, but always with the risk of thundery showers from the south.

Amazing weather in London today, blue skys and sun is shining - feels like so long since it's been like this. Everything feels like its falling into place 🤞

it looked like it was going to rain briefly but the clouds moved on. 
 

good clouds. 

[4AssedMonkey]

Just been reviewing all the model runs. Loads of correlation.  Still "too early", but the consistency is a good sign.  For the festival 5 days we're looking at dry, lows around 13, highs around 23, little cloud, slight breeze.  In summary, perfection.

 

Please please please please.......

Ok, it's time. Time for the first full weather run through of 2024!

 

THROUGH TO GATES OPEN

 

There's the threat of a fair bit of rain on Saturday afternoon and evening, but it's then completely dry to gates open. Highs of 20-21 are great for any drying that might be necessary.

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Very pleasant at 17-18 and dry. Highs of 20-21 through the day.

 

 

High pressure is over the UK. Looking good.

 

THURSDAY

Completely dry, highs of 22.

 

 

FRIDAY

Completely dry, highs of 23.

 

 

SATURDAY

 

A very small amount of rain around, you wouldn't even notice it. Highs of 22.

 

 

Pressure is still in a good place, but not so commanding.

 

SUNDAY

 

Small amount of rain showing, but again this is really insignificant stuff. Highs of 21-22

 

 

There is a pocket of low pressure out in the Atlantic, which is causing the small amount of rain.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

A pretty decent run, with perfect festival temperatures.

 

We do have to watch the weekend, however, we're a long way off any confidence and low pressure still lurking.

 

We go again at 6pm-ish!

Similar theme today from the models. Warmer dry weather this week, switching to lower pressure by Thursday (with the potential for some substantial rain) before drying up again for the festival opening.

 

I think the Thursday-Saturday period is the danger area - we could get unlucky with the rain or see very little.

 

There'd be 3 days drying time either way so i cant see mud bath conditions.

Sat in Glastonbury town enjoying the warm weather. It’s all going to be ok lovely people.

We were sitting there, and then moved over to the crown a few weeks ago! Noticed that the who’d have thought it was closed. Is that recent?

With temps of 21 for 3 days after, it would be impossible for there to be any mud.

Yes mate

Looks like a similar weather  pattern to last year.  Really hope it’s dry for everyone.  Only live a few miles from the site and it’s bloody lovely today.  Mixed emotions as first time in 30 years we didn’t get tickets but I hope everyone going has a fantastic time and roll on 2025

[panasonic2011]

I’m more  a Thatchers drinker myself (cheddar valley).  Never tried Lilleys even though we are close to Frome.  Not sure of all that flavoured rubbish!!!

Flavoured cider is the absolute worse. 

 

I have recently discovered that the only 0% cider you can get is some flavoured kopperberg shite. You may as well have cordial.

Thatchers 0% is very nice.

30 years? thats incredible. Theres no perfect way of doing tickets but seem unfair someone whos been every year for 3 decades doesnt get some form of priority while ive only been once and got a ticket

there is many, many ways to go without a ticket. It’s even easier if you’re local.
