The Weather Thread 2024

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yah dancer.

 

BBC official Glastonbury forecast in the radio just there echoes what we've seen. Hot tomorrow, cooling for the weekend, odd chance of a stray shower but otherwise, and I quote, "leave the wellies at home"

[TiZuff]

i think we would take this forecast every year . considering how bad the rain can get and how it f**ks up your festival.  delighted. lets go!

Bit of a d@b down from the MO

Bit tight posting that

Think I might chance it and just bring trainers and layers for the evenings/mornings. I'll have a jacket and emergency poncho but mostly just concerned about having a mix of layers for warmth if needed tbh

Well done everyone! Have a great one.

 

 

But what if a last minute double event comes?

[rlandy95]

It’s 20:15 here and it’s 21°, but there’s a definite chill in the air. It’s nice but I’m in shorts and a tee and could  for sure do with a 2nd layer. Gonna have some cold nights ahead I think so make sure you have layers!

Cold nights are more or less the norm.  Last year was warm at night but I remember 2019 being frigid as soon as the sun set.

Can def remember last year being out late without layers, but this feels reminiscent of 2022 as well, moment the sun goes it chills. Hard to remember what it’s like when you live in London 😅

Probably something to do with it being in a dip - the cold misty air maybe settles to the bottom of the vale...... or something.

Last year is the only year I remember not needing jumpers at night was just in T-shirt and shorts for 5 straight days

Thanks to everyone and of course especially @briddj for the analysis making it easy to understand for the less meteorologically inclined. It’s been a wonderful ride. I’ll take a 2022 weather rerun!

 

See you all in the morning! Have the best weekend yet!

Not arriving until Thursday pm but without @briddjexplaining the graphs, I haven’t a scooby. 

[Phoenix Girl]

Just catching up as have been awake since 4am with excitement.

 

This years weather rollercoaster has been one of the most extreme ones yet! So pleased we got there in the end. Hopefully see some of you at the meet.

Much better picture for the GFS on Sunday this morning. Higher pressure WINNING.

I have been a non posting reader for weeks on here, and indeed for many of the previous years I have been lucky with tickets. I write daily poetry on instagram as @poemparent and was moved to share this tribute to you all today....Thankyou for all the entertainment and insight you all bring - it has been emotional. See you in the fields.

 

 

[Miathedog]

Lovely poem! Thanks ☺️ and also to all in here, it’s been emotional!

Here's a super quick summary of the latest this morning for the stragglers like me who can't get there till Thursday / Friday.

 

UKMO

 

Improvement, has mostly taken out threat of rain Sunday but chance of some light passing showers in the am. 

 

GFS

 

Dry festival, upgrade from yesterday evening. 

 

ECM

 

Dry festival, but wants to bring a low in Monday am, so slim possibility that advances into Sunday.
