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

Could well be right. Normally if Im not at a Glastonbury I would watch most of it on TV. I never watched any of the special broadcast or any of the archive stuff in 2020

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

Not a Taylor swift fan but Taylor, Macca, Kendrick is by any measure a massive trio of headliners.

12z is updating. Keen to see the charts for next week

Before you even dip into the second line of Dua Lipa, Lana etc

[Aragorn]

Not a bad chart this, the azores high extends and pushes the low pressure northwards. Strong high too. 

[Aragorn]

Gates opening looks good. 

 

Trend is definitely for more favourable conditions but a week or so is a longtime in weather terms

Another roasting GFS.

 

Temps of 22, 21, 25, 27, 27 and no rain.

A nice 21-23c with a few fluffy clouds would be ideal. Don’t want wet, squelchy or scorchio 

Thank you.

Been dry all day, with a decent amount of wind, ground is drying out

Good gravy, the BBC weather app for Pilton is looking more promising than last time I looked 😚

Checked last year's thread and this long before the festival the forecasts weren't far off what it turned out to be...

That’s the ideal conditions to dry out the ground. Warm, sunny and a bit of wind. Cautiously optimistic that any  forecast now is light showers and not long periods of persistent heavy rain .  The build should be able to go ahead without causing damage to the fields. 
Hopefully decent weather especially for the newbies so they can see the festival at its magnificent best.

Anyone fancy buying some wellies/ a new rain jacket etc. just to keep pushing it the right way? No Suncream yet please...

I'm actually looking on eBay right now for a new colourful rain jacket. 💪

Same.  Picture seems to be intermittent light showers, bit of the heavier stuff next weekend but not too much and then basically dry from the Monday.  Game on.

[Sheffield Steve]

This evening’s ECM coming into line with the GFS.  High pressure establishing itself for the Monday and Tuesday with temperatures rising…
 

 

temps into the mid 20s by Tuesday…

 

 

By this time tomorrow we’ll know what it has in store for the Wednesday and whether this trend will hold…..
