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.

Many thanks @briddj - keep up the voice of sanity and sensibility as the rest of us may easily be driven to be a drooling, gibbering wreck!

Rain aside, what's the coldest Glastonbury on record? I'm a bit concerned because I was freezing last night in my house!

 

Yeah regardless of rain, can it just warm up abit?

 

It got down to 8c in West Yorks, that would be f**king brutal in a tent unless you're very prepared.

Strangely quite open to the idea of just cutting about in a fleece for the full weekend.

I do have a nice Columbia Gilet (Tory I know) I'd quite like break out.

Can the azores high save us?! Looks like high pressure will enter the mix as we move towards the festival, which is something that hasn't been present recently.

 

As you say...still too far away to know what the hell will happen. Could be absolutely anything at this range.

The glastopedia page has sourced stats from the nearest weather stations for each festival...

 

https://www.glastopedia.com/festivals/weather

 

Suggests that the coldest it ever was was 4.7 degrees C in 1987 and the lowest high was 15 degrees C in 1985. Although those are yeovil weather station readings, which is a little way away from Shepton Mallet, where they now have a weather station.

Looks like I was wrong.  It was 2011 and 2013 that had the lowest temps around 6-7 degrees.  Think it was early in the weekend that was cold and then we had the biblical rain on Friday night which was the nadir.  Sat/Sun warmed up nicely.

GFS continuing with a similar theme of removing the cool air (good) but threatening a return of wetter westerlies (bad). ECM comes into range on Sunday.

 

There are dry and warm interludes so I suspect it's going to come down to the timing of the low pressure systems and how far each one encroaches into the UK.

And we've had 4 hot days since the start of May.

 

Laughable. 

It's actually incredibly depressing to think about. It must be something to do with climate change and maybe we will just have hotter Septembers now

Maybe we're heading towards having something more akin to having wet/dry seasons, where it pisses down every summer but is humid/hot and the best of it in Spring/Autumn.  Boo.

    • It can take around 30-45 mins to walk from the arena back to the transport hub with the crowds, depending on density. Allow even longer in poor conditions. I don't think you'd need to leave Linkin Park early though, you have at least an hour and 20 minutes to walk to transportation. I certainly wouldn't leave early in your shoes, knowing I can just walk to the airport if needs be (2 mile walk and another 30 - 45 min walk depending on your walking speed and conditions.) Maybe just don't linger too long for the toilet / food after Linkin Park have finished.  It will definitely make sense and all just fall into place on the night, don't worry too much and have a great time. The very worst that can happen is a little extra walking to the Airport Skylink bus stop, as those Skylink busses are 100% 24 hour. 🙂  GFS, ICON and ECMWF are ALL in agreement on the latest runs.... After a mildly moist Weds and Thurs, high Pressure building from Friday... Lets just hope they continue to agree... ☀️☀️☀️
