It's actually a much better run as we don't end up with the low pressure sat over us for days on end. Low pressure is uncomfortably close but if it goes north, we'll end up on the dry/warm side for the weekend

 

I appreciate that's the golden question and probably unanswerable, but how likely is that?

I'm very much used to this feeling - I'm able to deal with utter disappointment easily now.

 

I'm a Leeds United fan. 

 

haha, same. 4 Finals attended, 4 defeats, no goals scored.
Business as usual. 🙂

I think this run could be whoooooooooooooooooooooole lot worse. Regardless, lets wait and see what the ensemble says, and whether we start getting the UKMO and ECMWF replicating.

 

How is @briddj screaming FIGHT BACK and you the complete opposite. 

 

Can we at least align our existential dread?

Fine margins as it often is in the UK - it could literally be anything at this stage for the festival weekend.

 

With regards Wednesday, I think we've taken a step towards poor weather being more likely but its still very much on a knife edge. I think we'll get clarity (for Wednesday) tomorrow night/Friday morning.

Position of Jet Stream, knife-edge, rollercoaster, Azores finger, Atlantic low, ebb & flow, ECM, GFS, UKMO....

 

Anyone else got massive deja vu?  It's the same every year (apart from 2016....)

We found love, so don't fight it. The Weather Thread is a rollercoaster, just gotta ride it. It's time for the 06Z!

 

THROUGH TO GATES OPEN

 

Again there's a small amount of rain Friday night into Saturday for the site, but it really isn't much and won't have any effect. Temps of 21-22, 23-24 and 25-26.

 

But this is the knife edge we're on with the big low in the Atlantic. Will it push in?

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Just like on the last run, there is evidence of heavy and rain around on Wednesday morning at 9am, but roasting temps of 21-22.

 

image.thumb.png.30dd84b760737b026dc77d606c9ad05d.png

 

This is a terrible opening day, with heavy rain all day and tempt of 19-20.

 

Overnight temps into Thursday of 14-15.

 

image.thumb.png.ac42af887ad68d4d0da76d78749601ff.png

 

 

We are, however, in a better position than the last run with lower pressure further away.

 

image.thumb.png.349c5d4d8ba8ccf42dd31dbeb3761e13.png

 

THURSDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 19-20.

 

Temps overnight into Friday of 11-12.

 

 

image.thumb.png.be9cf0a104a6745e33e464928f61b5ff.png

 

 

The massive blob of low pressure over the south west on the last run (left) has been beaten away on this run. Fighting back!

 

image.thumb.png.b771b2dd3672cc06958eb8dcca5561c1.png

 

FRIDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 19-20.

 

Temps overnight into Saturday of 15-16.

 

image.thumb.png.c6967ff68fc79364a1bc9e29cbc56b02.png

 

High pressure definitely fighting back on this run (right).

 

image.thumb.png.aff9eaa6e7f8a42be4b723be0f54dbf6.png

 

SATURDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 22-23.

 

Temps overnight into Sunday of 12-13.

 

image.thumb.png.f63433971126feb11072159df7817e76.png

 

Big win for the high pressure lads in this run!

 

image.thumb.png.b19d8d4ca4ba84af5c0358a37817e78a.png

 

SUNDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 23-24.

 

Temps overnight into Monday of 15-16.

 

image.thumb.png.bda78a3e7a8ac22738daa0d8796a6c0a.png

 

This is a low high.

 

image.thumb.png.5c171a525255e6be56f73ec8103853ca.png

 

 

SUMMARY

 

There's no doubt that the forecast for Wednesday in this run is pretty bad, but it recovers for a fine festival and in the Saturday temperatures you'd be back in trainers. For that reason this is a MUCH better run than the 00Z.

 

Let's just hope there's a full fightback to keep the low pressure to the north on the Wednesday. And that the high pressure continues to win for the weekend. Are we calling it a knife edge again?

 

That's the fear at the moment.

I'm going on Weds for the first time ever so this is definitely going to come true (I'll take it for the team)

We'll be fine as long as no one moves. Carefully tiptoe to your camping spot, tent up, sit in tent and make plans for the next 4 days. Don't listen to any of that "Wednesday is a great day to discover the whole site" nonsense.

 

Or just wait for the next run when everything will have changed and you'll be heading to the Co Op to bulk buy factor 100 suncream.

I've only been one year, but surely one day of rain wouldn't be enough to ruin the site would it?

 

I understand the footfall is huge though also.

Yeah, it'll be a mud bath in certain areas. Although with none of the main stages open, hopefully they'd be fine. 

 

Roll on the fightback

    • So, that Survation poll...Reform have replaced the Tories as the main right party, and Restore are where Reform used to be as the fringe extreme right party gaining support. Grim. What happened to one nation liberal tories?
