The Weather Thread 2024

[Pinhead]

As long as Wed queuing is dry I can cope. This time next week I'll be readying to leave for site.

[kalifire]

Ideal temps for me would be 19-21 but I can cope with a few degrees higher. High twenties/early thirties, and it’s a write-off. Anything sunny but lower than 25 is an absolute win.

Ok, we had a good run on the 06Z. Can we get it firmed up on the 12Z? Let's find out!

 

THROUGH TO GATES OPEN

 

We're now starting to get into the period of more certainty for the weekend, and yet again there effectively no rain in the forecast. What is there is basically very light for a short period (also a couple of patches of drizzle Monday and Tuesday). It looks like there's no danger of a churn up before the gates open. 

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Dry for gates open, temps of 19-20.

 

Completely dry through the day with highs of 23-24.

 

Overnight into Thursday, 15-16.

 

 

The high pressure isn't quite as in demand in this run (on the right), though it's not too much different. How will it develop?

 

 

THURSDAY

 

Completely dry on site, but there is a very small pocket of light rain out to the east in the early evening. Highs of 24-25.

 

Overnight into Friday, 15-16.

 

 

This is more danger from low pressure from the north on this run (on the right).

 

FRIDAY

 

Completely dry (ignore the wispy blue) with highs of 24-25.

 

Overnight into Saturday, 14-15.

 

 

Good news! The high pressure is now winning the battle. As you can see on the right, we've moved into a deeper red. But will it last?

 

 

SATURDAY

 

Completely dry (ignore the wispy blue) with highs of 21-22.

 

Overnight into Sunday, 10-12.

 

 

High pressure is in a very similar place to the last run, though temps are a few degrees down.

 

 

SUNDAY

 

Completely dry with highs of 21-22.

 

Overnight into Monday, 12.

 

 

The low out in the Atlantic isn't as threatening (right), which is good to see.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Not quite as good as the last run, but still bloody great - and many people will appreciate the slightly lower temperatures on the weekend.

 

 

 

 

You are doing the lord's work.

How this thread makes me feel...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdRu4yTaK7Q

[briddj]

Even the 18Z had nowhere to run tonight. 

 

Scorchio and no rain.

[Euphoricape]

Let's hope to the weather gods that this mornings run is a massive outlier.. Will be fine by midday again I expect.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Baws

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Horrific 00z. Imagine if after all this good news it turned - the evil twin of 2019. 
 

 

[Suprefan]

You asked for it and youre getting it. Never ask for sun lol.

[AdrianH]

Very poor GFS run this morning unfortunately. Low pressure breaks through and then sits in our vicinity for the entire festival

[kemosabe]

I can only blame those of you who were moaning about it being "too hot". I hope you're all happy with yourselves.  

[briddj]

After a really good (shock!) 18Z, will the 00Z be our friend too?

 

THROUGH TO GATES OPEN

 

Light rain on Saturday, and then temps of 21-22, 24-25 and 24-25 at the start of next week. 

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Completely dry, and roasting at 20-21 degrees at 9am!

 

It's dry most of the day but with some light rain, highs of 25-26. But look out west...

 

 

That is threatening a heavy downpour late into Wednesday night....

 

Overnight temps into Thursday of 17.

 

 

THURSDAY

 

Rain around in some form for most of the day, highs of just 16-17.

 

Overnight temps into Friday of 12.

 

 

This run, on the right, has a bubble of low pressure plonking itself over the south west.

 

 

FRIDAY

 

Rain clears and a dry day, highs of just 17-18.

 

Overnight temps into Saturday of 14.

 

 

SATURDAY

 

Dry other than maybe light showers, highs of 18-19.

 

Overnight temps into Sunday of 14-15.

 

 

High pressure never builds in, as with the previous run (left).

 

 

SUNDAY

 

Showers around most of the day, highs of 19-20.

 

 

Heavy rain around in the early hours of Monday morning. Overnight temps of 15-16.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Massive outlier!

 

Aaarrrrggghhh!

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Aragorn]

Am hoping the ensembles show this to be out on it's own

[Trunks1993]

I said no rollercoasters 😡

[AdrianH]

Looks like the GFS has some support from the UKMO judging by this (only goes out to Wednesday). Not as horrific but the high pressure doesn't get established. Hopefully the ECM hasn't switched too

I noticed a bit of an error in this chart so I've corrected it.

 

[Colorblindjames]

Getting the wellies and ponchos out. 

[AdrianH]

ECM is better but the low does meander up to us by Friday. Hopefully this is just a blip - I suspect the GFS operational will be an outlier but not great that other models show some support

[Jacko45]

That wouldn't be disastrous but just a real dampner, jumpers and coats and drizzle isnt on anyones wishlist.

 

Surely surely it can't go back up to 20c+ for ONE fecking week then back to rubbish, it's nearly July.

f**k sake. One decent week we got in June.

[Aragorn]

The operational went off on one 

 

 

[AdrianH]

The GFS op is a big outlier as expected. Definitely a messier situation now though - hopefully some improvement in the 6z!

[Sheffield Steve]

Unfortunately the midnight run of the ECM has also thrown a bit of a wobbler.  
everything is fine and dandy on Wednesday….

 

but then it also brings a low in on Thursday with some heavy bursts of rain ..

 

 

This produces some heavy rain on Thursday night, before clearing to showers on Friday…

 

 

Lets just hope this is all a blip in the space time continuum…and it will have all disappeared by this evening…

Absolute outcast loser of a weather forecast

Multiple models agreeing on cold shite weather 😕
