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.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
