As soon as  I pictured a photo of my fine-ass self and told them I was going .

Hope you had suncream and didn’t end up looking like a baboon by the Saturday.

This 06z is coming together nicely!!!

You'll be glad of that drizzle Wednesday in those temperatures... Will barely make it to the ground before evaporating again!!! 

 

They finally predicting something but 16c Alvo?

[briddj]

Right. Strap in, let's hope the 06Z backs up the 12Z. Let's go!

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Scorchio at 9am with temps of 21-22. Completely dry.

 

 

During the day, some very light showers around and highs of 24-25.

 

Temps overnight into Thursday of a barmy 16-17.

 

 

Very similar pressure picture, and it all relies on what happens with possible low which could develop in Spain. Latest on the right.

 

 

THURSDAY

 

GET IN! UPGRADE KLAXON!

 

Dry other than showers show light they would evaporate before hitting the ground. Highs of 25-26.

 

Temps overnight into Friday up to 17-18.

 

 

Pressure not quite as good in this run, so we're just waiting on the lows north and south to be repelled. Rain is shitting northern France due to this. Latest on the right.

 

 

FRIDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 20-21.

 

Temps overnight into Saturday of 15.

 

 

 

Possible pocket developing again in northern France, which is causing that torrential rain for them. But will it get to Glasto? Latest on the right.

 

 

SATURDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 20-21.

 

Temps overnight into Saturday of 12-13.

 

 

 

Small drop in temperatures is due to the battle to hold onto the high. Yet the high does seem to be winning! This is happening! Latest on the right.

 

 

SUNDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 21-22.

 

Temps overnight into Monday of 12-13.

 

 

Lovely, lovely high pressure. Latest on the right.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Gaskajsnad!ijasnd@! Hold the frickin' phone! The Thursday rain has gone and high pressure wins again.

 

WE'RE IN THIS! IT'S LIKE WEDNESDAY IN THE PLAYOFFS in 2023!

 

Amazing scenes once again, yet there remains doubt about what truly will happen on Friday.

Yes off to buy a poncho and wellies. 

[PollyPeach]

Ps thanks so much to briddj and everyone else for this amazing effort  

[devonhammer]

Can we start putting out faith in the Met Office and ECM?

[AliceR]

[rlandy95]

Funnily enough this GFS run is almost near identical to the ECMWF GraphCast (AI) run that I shared yesterday, high pressure starting to ridge back in on the Friday and north/south split. 🤔

 

This GFS run improves on it ever so slightly I would say.

[gherkin8r]

I knew all those intrusive negative thoughts I'd been having about briddj were unfounded. Wouldn't have a bad word said about him

[kemosabe]

What made the weather graphs move isn't "science" or "jet streams", it was all of you panic buying raingrear and wet weather stuff... So don't you dare all start buying suncream and sunhats now

I’m starting to consider getting a flag of briddj and Robbie Coltrane to wave in front of Chris Martin during Coldplay.

Can't dare to dream just yet here, still badly burnt from Wednesday scorchio prediction. 

 

I want to believe but I've been hurt too many times.

Don't want to be the party pooper, but this mornings positive is buried in days of bad forecasts.

 

So try not to get too hung up on it, it may well be an outlier, nice as it is.

That’s….not how this works. By definition, the latest forecast is the most likely to be accurate. Doesn’t matter what was forecast 3 days ago!

Incorrect. The only forecast that counts is the one we want. Whenever it is.
