The Weather Thread 2024

Too cold at night. Twist.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Reckon the reason Saturday night seemed a bit busier than usual was Friday night was so goddamn cold and people threw in the towel.

[Ayrshire Chris]

The festival hoodies seemed to sell very well this year. Obviously the chilly nights to blame

Friday night / Saturday early AM was the coldest I've ever been.

 

On the whole, the best weather I've had there.

[Spindles]

I think it is impressive that the best few days of weather of the summer happened to drop just at the right time for the festival and now we've returned to the cooler, grey and wet days that have largely defined the weather for most of this year.

It was the same last year too I think.

The navy one is really nice, definitely better quality than previous ones. Lived in that all weekend! 

 

Everyone up north says its been horrible this past week, so I think we got lucky.

I’m from ‘up north’ and I couldn’t believe the weather you guys all got at the festival compared to what it was like here! Was like two completely different seasons.

our neighbours were just like "shame about the weather" despite us coming back looking like we've been to Spain for a week!

And in 2022 we went to 40 degrees a week after the festival.

[briddj]

Yup, f**king state of this

 

[gigpusher]

One of my favourite things I saw all weekend. Whoever made them….. genius 

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Just looked at forecast for Pilton this weekend. How lucky were we?!! This weekend would have been a muddy one for sure. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Our luck cannot hold forever, can it?

[nikkic]

No, it can’t. 

On the positive, it will help getting tickets if we have a mud bath or two.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Looks like the rain has hit the site now. We’ve dodged a bullet yet again! 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Unprecedented streak of luck

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Today would have been legendarily bad. So lucky!

[Suprefan]

Real scorcho . Anyone want a low temp at night of 40? Thought not

Compared to a muddy one I'd take it

Overnight low above is in the low 30s, not 40!…currently in Doha, same overnight lows…balmy in the evening! Short sleeves and beautiful for night swimming, walks and eating outdoors. All depends on humidity not absolute temp. Anyway, festival isn’t in California! 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Site getting a leathering over the last 24 hours.  We were so so lucky.
