Well hopefully dry times are comte-ing and you won't need to say hello-umi to your winter clothes.

isnt gav doing the forecasts this year?

[Cooter]

Some forecasts say end of next week starting to warm up. Beeb has it 5 degrees up at 22ish, some sun, bit of rain but nothing concerning.

 

I'm sure it'll change but thats good enough for me at the mo.

He is, he said he would from Friday. Poor guy fractured his ankle and has been in for an operation.

The models are edging drier for festival week.  These are the last 4 runs from ECMWF for the week (most recent on the left).  Definite drying trend. 

 

The whole GFS sequence right up to festival Friday shows a fair amount of rain next week, starting this weekend, but, again, drying up for festival week itself.

 

And here’s the reason why. The latest run for midnight festival Friday shows the Azores finger much more pronounced, pushing in over the U.K. nicely.  It’s beginning to look good…..

Think its probably likely Wednesday/Thursday of the festival early doors there could be some mud under foot but if we can get a mostly dry festival, we could be OK :)

It's mainly showers next week, so wouldn't expect mud really. Warm and dry all the way I'm hoping!

Yeah must say, barring a good few hours on Thursday it doesn't look anything monsoon like. 

 

More fleeting showers here and there.

The ensembles are suggesting higher pressure festival week.  Problem with GFS it's not particularly reliable until T96 and even then I've seen it go completely off on one. 

 

Hence I think the ensembles give a clearer picture as opposed to the gfs operational run.

 

UKMO is the one to watch when we get to around 120 hours out

Oh yes, agreed. We’re only looking for trends at this stage. But it’s nice to through in a positive GFS every now and again to keep everyone’s spirits up 😊

Steve understands the inner workings on the Weather Thread - we are needy, we are obsessive and sometimes we just need to be told "Everything is going to be OK"

(Even if it isn't)

 Clear response to me buying an extra fleece last night! 

[briddj]

Yep, as above it is all going to depend on how, if at all, this high pressure is allowed to develop. Anyone who says they know right now is simply lying!

 

It could still go either way, and there's been a few times in the last couple of months when it's looked like it would break through only for the low to win.
