I'm heading off soon to queue overnight. I want to say another massive thank you to everyone here for a really fun couple of weeks. It's been really educational too.

 If you see me or my flag (I hope that breeze keeps it aloft!) come say hi. I've got keyrings and pins to give away.

See you in the fields pals!

Ben 

I adore pin badges so will be on the look out ❤️

Here's the 00Z run through!

Pressure: Building to a high through the week before beginning to fall after in the early hours of Saturday. This again remains really consistent, with low pressure NOT winning.

Precipitation: We're now CLEAR OF RAIN THROUGH THE WHOLE FESTIVAL. Any sign of rain for today would be nothing more than a bit of drizzle even if it arrives. Brilliant for drying the overnight rain. Same on Sunday, even if it were around it would be drizzle.

This is what it looks like when the gates open:

 

 

Max Temperature (BBC app, Accuweather temp in brackets): Tuesday 19-20 (21, 21), Wednesday 20 (21, 21), Thursday 21-22 (24, 24), Friday 23 (26, 26), Saturday 25-26 (26, 22), Sunday 19-20 (21, 20)

Summary: GFS has dropped two degrees to 23 on Friday. But then GFS has flipped to agree with the BBC on Sat at 26 degrees, while Accuweather has tracked right down to be in agreement with the old GFS at 22 degrees.

Reminder that there will be a very good breeze all weekend - especially Wednesday to Friday. This might well be a bonus, but do be cautious as a breeze can lull you into a false sense of security vis a vis the sun and sun burn! Also, we don't really want that dust kicked up too much!

We've only gone and won it.

One more in-full update left for me!

Rain stopped, cleared then full sunshine has just burst out here near Bath. Clouds retreating to the N behind me.

Even Phil's happy.

Thanks so much for all your efforts @briddj, really clear summaries. I can't help feeling that these helped us to achieve the perfect outcome, rather than just describing the journey.

[TiZuff]

Thanks to everyone for their insight and efforts. Spirit of the festival begins in the weather thread ??

Thank you all. The weather thread is always my warm up to the festival but this year has been utterly exceptional. I’ve loved it - now to the farm!
