For those who like to scan all the many forecasts out there make sure you look up the correct Glastonbury, not Glastonbury Connecticut where it’s currently having a heatwave😉😊

 

Or technically... the correct Glastonbury is... Pilton!  LOL! 

 

Sometimes the Glastonbury and Pilton forecasts actually differ, and Pilton is of course closer, so that's the one I go to on the BBC site.

Can't stop looking at this thread. It's like watching the most important football match of your life spread out over 2 weeks with updates every few hours. Was even having dreams about it last night. Keep up the work lads and fingers crossed for a good one.

Get the brollies out. And not for the rain.

 

You might have spoken too soon... what's that horrible blue blob doing, creeping up in the bottom left of the UK Precipitation window..?! Eek!

It's fun time again! Bring on the 12Z. Will Wednesday improve?

 

THROUGH TO GATES OPEN

 

Now seems set on that rain overnight Friday into Saturday, but there's not much. The loads of drying time with temps of 16-17, 20, 21-22, 24-25. Heating up!

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

It's now COMPLETELY DRY for gates open, with temperatures of 17-18.

 

And Wednesday is completely dry and SCORCHIO at 25-26.

 

Overnight temperatures into Thursday of 16-17.

High pressure is in control in this run (on the right), and it's BUILDING (latest on the right).

THURSDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 25-26.

 

Overnight temperatures into Friday of 17-18.

High pressure remains in command and looks to be staying strong (latest on the right).

FRIDAY

 

Completely dry, ignore the wispy blue, highs of 28-30.

 

Overnight temperatures into Saturday of 18.

The low to the north is being completely repelled and heat continues to build on this run (latest on the right). However, is there a risk out off the coast of Spain?

SATURDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 25-26.

But that pesky pocket seems to be moving up from Spain... will it get to us? Latest run on the right.

Luckily we as move overnight, the apocalypse misses Glasto and goes for south central instead. Overnight temperatures into Sunday of 18.

SUNDAY

 

There are showers around, with highs of 20-21, but all the heavy rain is going out to the east.

 

Highs of 18 overnight into Monday.

And here you can see that danger, with the pocket again having moved up from Spain to be off the coast of England. Latest run on the right.

SUMMARY

 

A fantastic run, and one to celebrate - but not without concerns about possible rain / thunderstorms amid the heat next weekend.

 

It's all to play for, and we're BACK ON THE BUS.

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today.
