How's the ground looking?

 

Someone on Facebook said it rained for about 3 hours but days started off beautifully and the grounds good.

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.

 

We'll have none of that talk in our moment of glory, thank you very much.

 

And remember, the closer the more reliable.

Met Office the gold standard, the ultimate weather Oracle. All great until COP Friday with a 10% chance of rain at 22.00 I'm having that and with the grace of Michael we will win Saturday tommorow as well. Then just one day to go which could be a refreshing shower and dust killer so of no consequence.

If anything to op run above was the more negative of all runs. So deffo improvement

If you flip onto the map view with the rainfall layer you can see a bit of high pressure protecting the UK from some nasty business coming in off the Atlantic.  Instaed, seminal NW European country Ireland take one for the team.

Happy to do our bit!! Oddly enough, the MO here last Wednesday said that we’d get a nice warm high this weekend, but there would some rain first (which we got right on cue yesterday evening) and that the warm weather would last til about next Wednesday, when it was due to deteriorate, however the South of England would do better and it was likely to hang around longer! 

[Aragorn]

Could be alot worse that's for sure

The problem though is the farm lies in a valley with it's own microclimate - generic reports don't factor in this unknowable wild card  which tends towards rain.

So who else is scrambling about reassessing what clothes to take? Apart from the footwear, take for all eventualities

Changing nothing for me personally, lovely to see but one good run doth not make a summer.

It's the nagging Glastonbury rain mind worm that lives permanently in the cerebral cortex once it has been infected by experience of a muddy year. There is no cure.

The shorts were in doubt no longer and Jesus sandals are making a comeback.

Nah, think the only thing I'd change is chucking in an extra jumper if it looks like it'll be cold all week. Other than that it's dresses or shorts/t shirts regardless of the weather, warm layers for the evening, sun hat, rain coat, got all eventualities covered.

ECM Probabilistic has seen a massive upgrade over the last 24 hrs. A day ago we were looking at a load of 6 hour periods with a greater than 50% chance of rain; this morning there are none over the festival period.

 

Still a chance of rain, but its a much better picture than a day ago.

Five weather apps you can actually rely on

Met Office trumps them in that ranking and gets double points for being Uk based so I would (making this up!!) say Met Office is 4 x more likely to be right than YR and that's a made up FACT !

They've just added this

 

 

"Turning more widely warm or very warm and humid Tuesday, with sunny spells and the chance of a shower. Possibly a thundery breakdown Wednesday."
