WEATHER 2009 !

[gemstarrr]

oh god i'm unsure now.

need a new pair of wellies.

my old ones have a hole/rip in them(about half way up, above the foot at the front), should i take them anyway seeing as the weather is looking good?

don't want to chance getting leaks if it does rain alot though :/

also, i've worn wellied for the past two years and nothign else, i don't know what other footwear to wear!

C'mon, someone say something!

Lots of panic going on when perspective is needed. Jackone hasn't lowered his grading, it is still a 7 out of 10, which is still a high grading and a very good place to be at this time.

Lots of doom about storms and rain from people also, I didn't see anything local to Glastonbury, closest being Exeter, whereas the "r**n" that was meant to hit Bristol today decided to do one, thus wall to wall sunshine and about 20 degrees with the same expected here tomorrow.

Don't give up the dream now its getting closer, we all know the motto...

NO RAIN, NO MUD, NO COMPROMISE!

[minskyyy]

what was the rating for last year?

[nidz]

This thread will defo in up with over 200 pages, madness. Either people are gone soft in the head, or there is actually something in this general panic over rain. If God has a computer, and logs in as 'judas' and takes time to read some of the 'my boots have holes and my carpet is purple' type of comments he will make sure its a swamp, however if he's into The Specials and Eat Static he may well turn the oven on.

Who really knows.

Last year ran on a scale of 5 and I believe it was a 3 or 3.5 maybe(?) The archived thread from last year is a few pages back if you want a definitive answer.

Jackone is being very conservative.

The most recent GFS forecast is the best so far and is showing no rain. In fact it has produced this fantastic forecast: http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/14days.asp

The next few days will however be crucial as the other models start producing forecasts.

"Kinda want to add something - the window of certainty on the ensembles has got quite large. Sometimes it's only 2-3 days, but at the moment it's almost a week for our corner of somerset

However the dates of the festival do not, as of yet, fall into this range of certainty and beyond that the models always tend to 'middling' conditions. They also run in a much more coarsely detailed fashion so rainfall amounts can seem exaggerated

So don't let a little wet at the end get you down basically, it's still very much up in the air but looking far better than.... ach *touch wood* can't bring myself to say it I've gone all superstitious this year"

Nice update for days 8,9 & 10 from the ECM model tonight- all the poorer weather going through Scotland + Iceland & South into France-

Ideal conditions hanging in limbo in the SW

Score 8 with 77% Confidence

Odds on it staying like that?

It's going to be wonderful and sunny as all the rain we could possibly need seems to have fallen in Somerset this afternoon. By next week, there will be no more rain left.

With lots of positive thoughts the sun will shine on all that are there all weekend(fingers, toes and all that can be possibly crossed).

Whatever it will be great festival, have a good one.

Dang!! Thought I'd screengrab before it changes!!

Not all good though.. look at that 8% cloud cover on Tuesday night... Sheesh...

[Sam Crawley]

Later it will change to a Noah type event that will get us all worked up again!

UK Outlook for Saturday 20 Jun 2009 to Monday 29 Jun 2009:

The weather next weekend and into the following week is expected to be dominated by high pressure. This will mean plenty of dry and warm weather, particularly for central and southern areas with some good spells of sunshine. However, outbreaks of rain are likely at times for Scotland and Northern Ireland, and some showery outbreaks may extend a little further south across parts of northern England and Wales on Sunday. Temperatures will be generally near normal at first, but becoming warm, especially for central and southern areas. Thereafter, generally little change. Plenty of dry, fine and warm weather is expected, though rain or showers in the north may spread further south into some central areas over time, though dry and warm weather should last throughout across the south.
