Fair to say that no matter what happens now there will still be teenagers roaming the fields of Avalon in nothing but shorts and a bucket hat even as it showers?

Do we trust the Met Office forecast now then, looks class.

@Jacko45 I have faith in whichever forecast looks the best and ignore the others 🤣

They’ll be pensioners roaming the fields of Avalon in shorts and a bucket hat😉😊

I'm telling you all again, 2022 repeat (I hope)! Feel it deep within my bones 😅 temp wise its almost exact. I even vividly remember it showering at Arlo Parks for little bit on the Friday at 18:00 and it made absolutely no difference to the ground at all.

What’s this in reference to? What’s Gav done in the past?

I shall be on site from tomorrow so will be sending live weather reports from the fields, wearing my Michael Fish outfit. And maybe even photos of the sky, if you’re very lucky.  But no photos of anything else, or I will be summarily booted off site…

 

I hope you've grown a tache

I’ve given it a good go but it’s come out all wispy and gingery… nowhere near as good as Michael’s …

The Met Office is the most accurate forecast for the UK. The ECM is second. This isn't speculation, it's the model resolutions run over the UK. Met Office are a contributor to ECM (don't tell the Brexiteers), but it then gets averaged with the other nations.

[HGlasto]

Are we saying Gavs forecast is not to be taken seriously? Seems like it’s been pretty accurate in the past..? And last nights is a lot worse than being posted here..

Saturday and Sunday just need to change on gfs now.

[briddj]

Right. All we need now is the GFS to get inn line. Just a knuckle for the weekend will sort us. What will happen? Let's find out! 06Z time!

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Complete dry, temps of 21-22.

 

 

Highs up a notch to 25-26! This wispy rain isn't even worth mentioning.

 

Temps overnight into Thursday of 16-17.

 

 

 

THURSDAY

 

UPGRADE KLAXON! Completely dry, highs of 20-21. Temps slightly down, but it is dry.

 

Temps overnight into Friday of 10-11. Markedly cooler. Why might that be?

 

 

It's because there's a less promising pressure picture, with the low trying to push down through Thursday. Latest on the right. A technical downgrade.

 

 

FRIDAY

 

Totally dry, but temps down to 17-18.

 

Temps overnight into Saturday of 8-9!

 

 

 

Pretty similar pressure pictures. Latest on the right.

 

 

SATURDAY

 

The GFS continues to be a d*ck, with heavy spells of rain on Saturday night and evening with highs of JUST 14-15!!!!!

 

Temps overnight into Sunday of 13-14.

 

 

The low, latest on the right, pushes a weather front over the UK.

 

 

SUNDAY

 

Light showers, highs of just 16-17

 

Temps overnight into Monday of 9-10.

 

 

The 06Z latest (on the right) agrees with the 00Z that a nasty low will sit over the UK on Sunday,

 

 

SUMMARY

 

We started with a great upgrade, with all the rain gone from Wednesday and Thursday.

 

But the weekend is a definite downgrade with February temperatures and a wet Saturday night. That would be miserable. Sort yourself out, GFS!

If if if this was all correct and it's a nice one again, has there ever been a run of nice Glastos like the run from 2019-2024?

2017 was dry, add that in. 

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

GFS is such a pain in the arse, why can’t it get onboard like everyone else. I DEMAND CONSENSUS. 

[Iphigenia]

I've stopped going on the forecasts now. I just roll dice.

[ThePope]

We need some adverse conditions to separate the wheat from the chaff. Whole cohort of glasto goers who think it’s all fun in the sun. No. Wrong. Get it knee deep in mud please.
