The remnants of tropical storm Bill could be decisive.

 

Bloody Americans. They influence all aspects of our lives!!!

 

Why hasn't Jackone picked up on this?

Usual shakier overnight run to keep our nerves jangling. Still nothing terrible but some rain just before the festival and over the weekend - ensembles as ever just after I go to work

BBC has taken a dramatic turn for the better .. Does this tend to be fairly accurate? I see some people have great faith in this source.

BBC use the met office and the met office should know!

[Waapster]

If it's better then yes. We believe it.

I'm as guilty as any in proclaiming any good forecast as gospel, and bad ones as mumbo jumbo.

But, I really DO trust BBC Weather. Not infallible, of course, but pretty damn accurate. Only problem is it is updated so frequently that, like them all, it only counts a short time ahead...

GFS not nice this morning - rain a plentry through Friday

 

Best wait for ensembles to see if any agree

[Aragorn]

panic over - its somewhat of an outlier loking at the 00z ensembles in terms of rain

 

Definitely looks like rain pre festival on the Monday though

Easy now Aragorn... Easy. You'll cause a panic with that unadulterated scaremongering.

That's better

They forecast monsoon like conditions with thunder and lightning last Friday. All we got was a bit of drizzle.

Yep; I work for the metoffice lol.

[FuzzyDunlop]

BBC are forever predicting things to be more extreme than they end up being.

[math125]

Yep; I work for the metoffice lol.

To me you just became a god

[Glastoboy]

This offers the best explanation as to why it's still 50/50 at the moment.

With less than a week to go, forecasts are going to start getting more accurate. I'm nervous!!

Already set the planner for Countryfile on Sunday...

I live on a boat and luckily haven't got a tv reception at the moment,so will not be able too see the Countryfile forcast.

Unfortunately I do get one bar of 4G so will be nervously checking here instead

One thing is absolutely certain between next Wednesday and Monday - there will be rain at Glastonbury. The make or break is how much...and we just won't know the answer to that till we're there on the ground.

[JoeyT]

I'm hopeful of being able to watch countryfile although at the mercy of getting home following a stag do in Brighton so not sure what time i'll be back

 

Hopeful the next set of charts will show some improvement...

[st dan]

I asked this question around this time last year, and got some good mixed responses:

Theoretically, how much would you pay for the guarantee of no rain over the full duration of the festival?

I think right now I'd stretch to £200.

[FuzzyDunlop]

This is the report from a year ago today. (Thursday before the festival)
