Sheffield Steve Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 The European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting have just updated their prediction for April/May/June. The general theme continues, with all the models around the world going for a warmer than average spring and summer with around average rainfall. Obviously no specifics for Glastonbury week can be determined from this, but as each week goes by, that little glimmer of hope in the distance gets brighter and brighter… April/May/June temperatures compared to average, showing all of Western Europe having a warm or very warm few months: 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Another weak of the wet stuff ... feels like it needs a topic when will this sh*t end !!! best dry out a bit for walk on the far in 2 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelarmy Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I’m not that worried about the weather during the festival if it’s dry in the lead up. As this year seems far wetter now than the previous couple of years, I’m expecting ground water levels to be way higher than the last two festivals. Has it been just as wet in the South West as it has been up north? Spring is notoriously damp as well so we’re going to need a mini heatwave/drought before June hits. If it doesn’t rain for the festival it’s going to be a moot point but I’ll be happier heading down there knowing that any rain isn’t going to turn the ground into the Somme.

Bike_Like_A_Mum Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Miserable in the east as well...hard to imagine camping in just a couple of months. Gotta stop at some point though so the more it rains the more i'm thinking it's gotta be a nice warm June 🤞🏼 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotdash79 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 It was like this last year and it was fine. It’s not time to worry yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield Steve Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 The soil moisture conditions have been updated for the end of February. The soil is now much wetter than a month ago, which you’d expect after the wettest February on record. But as we keep saying, spring last year was very wet and the ground was fine by the end of June. No need to panic just yet. January: February: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield Steve Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 …and in other news, the French have excelled themselves in their latest forecast for June. They’re going for not just a warm, but a hot June across most of Western Europe. No need to worry about the state of the ground if this comes off. Sacré bleu!

clarkete Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I'm 35-40 miles north of the festival and it's certainly been quite a bit of rain this week. We must be due a really warm spell later to compensate 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
