Kinda yeah, but I'm not in too deep I had both my jabs like a good boy.

Still all to play for and time for it to settle back down again

[NotAnInsider]

Warm & dry are still the most favoured options on both GFS and ECM at the moment. We're still way too far out for looking at deterministic output at the moment.

 

Met Office took a good look at the multiple models in a video yesterday which is worth a watch.

It is, but those multiple runs agreeing on the sudden appearance of nasty weather aren't ideal by any means just a week out.

I can only blame those of you who were moaning about it being "too hot". I hope you're all happy with yourselves.  

 

Its always those people. I can never understand it myself, it can be as hot as it wants as long as its dry! 

Not just G but every damn day!

The BBC forecast for Pilton looks lovely all the way through 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes but then I might have to put on a sunhat

[CaledonianGonzo]

We'd have d@bbed up if it was this weekend.

I refuse to believe we can have weeks of shite, one week of great weather back into utter rubbish.

Unfortunately he moved on to the next world after temps crept above 19 last year

Didn’t we have this before a week out in 2019 - up and down like a yo-yo then alright in the end? Am packing the wellies, waterproofs and poncho along with the sun hat. 

[ramblingmad]

Oh no, what a nightmare:(

In fairness they weren't nightmarish, just not amazing.

 

Showers and colder, would be a little less vibey but not nightmare territory.

[gigpusher]

Even the day before the festival is too early to be accurate for the whole festival. Just prepare for all eventualities and what will be will be. Keep fingers crossed for a dry one and try to make weather gods sacrifices when you can though obviously!!

I say this every year, and not directed at you, but letting the weather forecast influence your packing to the degree that you're not prepared with gear for either wet weather or sun is amateur hour coded.

Yes I'd say we have pretty much avoided a 2016 situation already. The forecasts seem a bit more 2011-2015 territory which is mixed bag rather than total shitshow. If it's raining I would like temps to be a little warmer.

The apps won't have factored in the latest information at this point.

[northernringo]

What time is the next run? I'm simply ignoring this morning's...

Absolutely smashing it.  If you want optimism go and look there!

Isn't it usually around midday?

 

If they concur then I'm reasonably concerned it's getting too close to be wildly incorrect

7 to 10 days isn't close

Yeah the fields have had 7+ days of glorious sun and breeze by time of gates open, so a mud bath becomes increasingly unlikely.

[Trunks1993]

This mornings operational is a proven outlier based on the ensembles. The mean of those would be an all timer festival
