The Weather Thread 2022

current forecast looks like this:

 

With the obvious caveat that as good as this forecast is, this far out it is practically worthless.  

We will start seeing forecasts that are somewhat accurate 16 days before the festival

Fair amount of rain yesterday in London, did it reach the South West?

Some rain here in Bristol in the morning, cleared up as the day went on. Looking good this morning.

Thats good to know, 26 pages into the thread.

AccuWeather has the full festival in view now. Perhaps the temps are a bit cool, but doable. Bit of rain but none on Wednesday crucially, so not too bad.

Would take it personally. I know it’s all rubbish at this stage, but it ain’t that long before this thread becomes properly relevant and my excitement levels ratchet up a few levels:

Edit: mind you that rain on Thursday is fairly biblical isn’t it?

Unfortunately not. Really need it for the garden.

7.6mm seems like a lot! 

 

I'm surprised this thread isn't busier tbh

We’ve all accepted that whatever the weather it will be the best one yet after the last couple of years

The weather changes daily. Even my usual trusty site is showing a wet weekend now. 
 

I’m putting all the blame on @steviewevie

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if it's going to r*** at glastonbury then Thursday evening is the best time.  A good storm like 2009 or short downpour like 2013 is enough of a sacrifice to whichever norse god is responsible for this stuff.  I don't want it when I'm pitching up and dragging my shit through the site, I don't want it when I'm packing it down and I'd rather not be dealing with it while the music's on.

I think people are so pleased just to be going maybe they aren’t worried about the weather 😀 2019 thread had over 300 pages but to be fair a lot of that was A roller coaster forecast the 2 weeks beforehand so plenty of time yet to get obsessed.

With the proviso that temperatures are warm enough that it dries out quickly. In 2013 by second act on Friday it was drying out!

I seem to remember catching up on the weekend's thread at work one Monday and somehow it reached something like twenty pages 😂

Snow at Glastonbury, now that would be something!

[chazwwe]

First post in here and as I say before the festival every year.

22-25 degrees across the whole week with a bit of a shower Friday morning(5am - 8am) to stop too much dust.

Damn right.  And at this point in 2019, The Weather Thread was only on page 20 so things are going to pop off when people start posting graphs, charts and tables

[The Nal]

JackOne hasnt been allowed out of his cell yet.

Or the other weather guy who predicted a washout in 19.

maybe just look at the forecast a few days before, because anything else is a waste of time.

[TiZuff]

yeah i learned over the years to not look at a forecast till the monday. panic stations / celebratory drinks on the tuesday night.
