In North Devon we're supposed to be in this heavy rain that's heading to Somerset in a few hours and it's been a light shower at most.

Will be interesting to see how the ground reacts and how quickly it dries up

Yeah I wouldn't be taking the NME as my meteorological port of call. 

[Sasperella2]

I don't know what everyone is worried about. Look how much fun mud is:

Personally I look at whatever the Daily Express says and expect the opposite.

Taken my daily glance at jetstream forecast and today the model has significantly improved:

 

it jumps about a lot, day by day, but if this pattern stays then it’s gonna warm up at least, hopefully high pressure too 🤞🤞

I'd take it just warming up tbh.

 

If weathers not cracking flags, but you're at least warm it's much better.

 

It was 9c last night, if you're out late in that temp you need to be proper wrapped up.

Seems to be a low degree of confidence from Met Office of any significant change happening - as reported on Beeb website this afternoon. Alludes to some models producing a change 🤔

Calvin Harris would have been better. He's made his fortune making cheese.

This would be a nice start to the festival
