Not a drill  🚨 🚨 GFS 99% dry all festival  🚨  🚨

Gfs still not playing ball on the Sat and Sun. 16 and 18-19 degrees again.

 

But it is completely dry the whole week.

 

It is a better pressure picture over the weekend, but doesn't start building in properly until Sunday evening. So let's see what it does in the morning.

Struggling to keep up with the different models - is this falling more in line with the others?

Met office, in which I trust, is still holding firm

Five little models, upon my doorstep...

Singing sweet songs, of pressure zones high and true, saying "There is no moisture for yoo-oo-ouuu"

Not really on those temps 

[rlandy95]

I think the fact that other models have fallen in line with each other but the GFS is playing dumb gives me more faith in what the other models are doing. 

 

GFS seems like the odd one out.

After the last few years, a dry festival with cooler temperatures will feel like an absolute win.

Loads of Tories now placing bets on a dry festival. Obviously a certainty now.

It’s quiet in here. I need my daily fix of dopamine.

00z looking great. I’m leaving my wellies at home. See you on the farm !

[Avalon_Fields]

It’s overcast and a little misty on site this morning. There’s a slight dampness in the air. Where we are, near Gate B, the ground is really firm. It’s going to be great… 

[CaledonianGonzo]

yr.no now toeing the party line

The Met has it fine and dandy through to Sunday, I'm going with that.

I can just imagine the Tor eventually emerging from the morning mist, the sun breaking through as the site comes alive.  Lovely, enjoy the day.

[Sheffield Steve]

All the models playing ball this morning.   Even the GFS.   This is GFS total precipitation between now and end of festival… virtually nothing.   

 

Looking good….

More and more likely its going to be a dry festival now. A little cool towards the weekend maybe but gone are the monsoon charts.

 

Not quite nailed on yet for the weekend, theres always the chance a little feature develops as the low passes to the north but looking great at the moment.

[Sheffield Steve]

The UKMO 0z has daily temps of:
 

26,22,19,21,21

 

Still too hot for setup day, but very acceptable.

Glastonbury is in TWO DAYS! But will the latest GFS still be FFS?

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Completely dry at 9am, highs of 19-20.

 

 

Some very light rain has reappeared on this one. But light blues are nothing. Highs of 25-26.

 

Temps overnight into Thursday of 15.

 

 

THURSDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 19-20. Down again on this run. The GFS continues to be insistent.

 

Temps overnight into Friday of 11-12.

 

 

Pressure picture is very consistent to the 18Z. Latest on the right.

 

 

FRIDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 19-20 - again marginally down on the last run.

 

Temps overnight into Saturday of 10-11.

 

 

Again, GFS consistent on the pressure picture. Latest on the right.

 

 

SATURDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 19-20. An UPGRADE. Finally the cold temperatures of all the recent runs are gone.

 

Temps overnight into Sunday of 9-10.

 

 

 

Pressure picture is slightly better here, hence the tick up in temperatures, but there's no finger. Latest on the right.

 

 

SUNDAY

 

Completely dry, but now the cooler temperatures are on Sunday with highs of just 17.

 

Temps overnight into Monday of 9-10.

 

 

The higher pressure just doesn't get up from northern France. Latest on the right.

 

SUMMARY

 

A great run, other than the much cooler Sunday, with a completely dry festival.

 

A couple of my apps are now agreeing with the GFS. So maybe, on its general trend, its been right all along... Personally, I'd twist to get another couple of degrees on Sunday.
