The Weather Thread 2024

Latest GFS has calmed the f**k down on temperatures.

 

Still essentially dry - warm to the start of the festival, cooler for Fri and Sat and back up for the Sun.

That's a Goldilocks forecast for me

So fingers crossed that we are going to get fingered at the festival?

E fests, the only place where you get an innuendo weather forecast.

Just once I'd like another 1995 (or 1976) summer where a giant high settles over the UK and refuses to shift.

The ensembles are looking beautiful

1995 was incredible. I was off between A Levels and Uni and it was glorious.

It was some summer.  My first ever G - and coincidentally the only one where I've ever been a bit too hot.  But that's on me for not hydrating, not having a hat and sweating my coupon off in front of El Pointo waiting for Page & Plant.

2018 was a banger, just... no Glastonbury to enjoy.

No rain since my last post

Yes it was lovely, we rented a holiday flat virtually on the site and spent days wandering around the farm.

May and June 2020 were glorious from memory. My daughter was born 3 days before lockdown in March and I was off for 5 months on shared parental leave. That Glastonbury lineup was huge even if it never happened and from memory the weather would have been all timer as well

I’ve got a new foe, the wind. My local beer festival just cancelled its entire weekend of sessions due to high winds - rain not even an obstacle. Ever had high winds causing peril at Glastonbury?

I remember seeing some of the C4 footage and the NME photos after Glastonbury that year and it looked like proper arid desert

I know know millions died, but the Taylor-Macca Glastonbury is still the biggest thing that covid robbed us of.

A beer festival tends to generate wind

I seem to remember it being quite rainy on the BBC special broadcast from the farm and thinking we did well (from a weather perspective)?

 

Then again, it might just have been a rainy spell that's shadowing my memory

It was a few showers. On the whole the weather d@bbed up.

From JackOne on Netweather:

Are there any updates on ground conditions, obviously it has been a very wet spring, but it been has a bit drier lately.

In the run to the festival remaining a bit unsettled but with some drier days e.g. the middle of next week.

But one or two hints of something perhaps a little better for the festival itself.

Pressure Charts 6-10 day and 8-14 day

June 20-24                                         June 22-28

Opposite reaction here. It's about the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
