On site Wednesday, a day in Glastonbury today, climbing the Tor! 

Make sure to stop in a the George and Pilgrims. Fantastic medieval pub. The food is also excellent. Oldest purpose built public house in the south west

I’ll be hoping to get there about 3-ish. Say hi if you spot us, it’ll be me, my wife and toddler in a backpack carrier.

 

Depending how busy it is, we may stay around for food in Glastonbury, if not, will head back to Weston Supermare, where we’re staying the night.

2022 was pretty nippy once the sun had gone in and these temps are looking like they could potentially be a bit lower. So don’t forget to bring extra layers for the evening. 

Yeah, wind would hit and froze people for sure. Got really chilly at macca if you were just standing there a

Wow, it literally couldn’t get any better than that for me (aside from tomorrow temps). This has been the smoothest weather thread year ever - barring a little two day wobble last week.

It’s currently raining in Glasgow, Chris- you made your escape just in time!

The Glasgow weather is the worst. It could at least match Glastonbury - as I'm not going it feels very much like they're rubbing salt into the wound!!

Quick scan of UKV hi res for worst case possible rain prospects:

 

Wednesday: few scattered showers

Thursday: maybe a brief period of light rain on Thursday morning if it doesn't fizzle out before it reaches the site

Friday: few scattered showers

Saturday: heavy rain to the north, might reach us eventually on Saturday night. Again looks brief but could be heavier.

Sunday: UKV run only goes to 120hr

 

Nothing overly concerning - I'll just chuck the cagoule/poncho in the bottom of the bag. Looks like nearly perfect conditions to me on the whole.

For some reason the 18Z didn't run live last night, so no summary there. So, with only THREE reviews to go, let's see what the GFS says.

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Completely dry, 21-22.

 

image.thumb.png.692ecf51d2b5aac01c12a8af45009ac4.png

 

Dry, ignore that light blue, highs of 25.

 

Temperatures into Thursday of 15-16.

THURSDAY

 

Dry, highs of 19-20.

 

Temperatures into Friday of 12-13.

Pressure picture near identical. Latest on the right.

FRIDAY

 

Dry, highs of 18-19.

 

Temperatures into Saturday of 10.

 

image.thumb.png.3babd1f75af2e73bebcc4d8d67ca59af.png

 

Identical again, latest on the right.

SATURDAY

 

Chance of some very light rain around headliner time, bit more in the Midlands. Highs of 19-20.

 

Temperatures into Sunday of 13-14.

 

image.thumb.png.7fe8afbb8599f083c4ae83c8ca7cdf88.png

 

Pressure marginally not as strong. Latest on the right.

 

image.thumb.png.a43d0fa11fc0071912c068cfb5a71a37.png

 

SUNDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 17-18 - a three degree downgrade on the 18Z.

 

Temperatures into Monday of 13-14.

 

image.thumb.png.8619236766436022edde5141bafffa4c.png

 

Similar picture again, latest on the right.

SUMMARY

 

Another great run, though there is still some uncertainty about the exact facts of Sunday - it could yet be that, as on the 18Z, a little more heat builds in.

 

Looks like we've ... WON?

 

Two more runs to go!

 

 

 

It did run live, just doesn't show on netweather for some reason... It is available on wetterzentrale, much of the same though.... 

This morning's GFS is a little concerning, as the UKMO shows increasing chances of rain Saturday and Sunday too, so they're both somewhat in agreement... But we all knew that, until we were there, predicting the Friday, Saturday and Sunday is next to impossible. Still time for a few couple more ups and downs on the actual weekend itself... 🤞

    • 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.
