Good news is the rain on Weds is a complete guess (appreciate it looks bad currently) and will move around over coming runs, but if the trend is to reduce influence of low afterwards that's great for us. No rain Thursday on this run, positive signs. 

 

Does seem genuinely encouraging if days around it are improved also.

 

High might win out?

Is that Wednesday 9am BST?  Or is that a US timezone?  Only ask as the first frame for this run is for "12:00" - but that's over 5 hours ago for us!

Realistic best case scenario is that over the next few days we see the volume and frequency of predicted rain diminish on the forecasts, until there's just a couple of narrow periods where we get brief light showers on maybe Wednesday and Friday, with an average peak temp of 22c and overnight temps in the low teens.

Thanks I'll have that but not sneak back here for any updates. That way I won't borrow worries from tomororow but I will of course.

Just dropped 120 quid on a pair of waterproof boots and a good poncho/light jacket. Bring on the weather. 

By buying them to add to the postive karma that predicates it will be good and you won't need them. Leave them at home and you would. Them's the rules of the Glastoverse.

We were given some hope in the 06Z. Can we take another step forward in the 12Z?

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Apocalyptic scenes for gates open as Beelzebub visits Glastonbury when the gates open. This is end-of-days stuff.

 

15-16 degrees.

Torrential rain continues all morning, with showers through the afternoon. Highs of 20-21.

 

Temps overnight into Thursday of 14-15.

The pressure picture is slightly better at this stage (latest run on the right), but the UK is right on the weather front.

THURSDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of just 16-17.

 

Temps overnight into Friday of 12.

Very similar story to the 06Z, with an area of low pressure trying to force its way from the north. Latest on the right - with pressure slightly higher.

FRIDAY

 

Chance of very, very light showers in the afternoon, highs of 19.

 

Temps overnight into Saturday of 11-12.

 

image.thumb.png.fe674fb8fa5bf0fe5b8d7348d0dcb40d.png

 

High pressure isn't being so influential in this run (on the right). Really would have been good to show it doing something here.

SATURDAY

 

Another showery afternoon with pitiful highs of 16-17.

 

Temps overnight into Sunday of 10.

 

 

image.thumb.png.f3ec1bb807cfb8fbec48065f82dbe2b2.png

 

Higher pressure has failed to build in (latest on the right).

 

image.thumb.png.eda66ae78d9156067f876c3ef5c461f0.png

 

SUNDAY

 

Completely dry, laughable temperatures of 16-17.

 

Temps overnight into Monday of 12-13.

 

image.thumb.png.19e518e8c403b310c8564f9aa3758962.png

 

On this run, high pressure only starts to build in late on Sunday.

SUMMARY

 

A definite downgrade on the 06Z. If the rain shows was to hit the site on Wednesday, it would definitely ruin the site - and there are not the temperatures for it to recovery.

 

Then a couple of showery days, most notably Saturday, which would not be pleasant in the temperatures.

 

Dare I say it that this run has 2016 kind of vibes... but only if that Wednesday rain was to be correct.

 

Twist.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
