This is 2015. 2016 was mud all the way though.

Sure - but Christine and the Queens didnt play in 2015. Their other stage slot was 2016

FRIDAY

Some rain around but hardly any of it seems to hit the site. Highs of 24 so another warm one.

And very consistent now for Friday with the pressure.

 

 

 

So 24 now for friday? Grim

Don't worry.  Max of 17 on saturday so that'll be more to your liking

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Pattern isn't shifting. Wet Sat and Sun looks nailed on. Bollocks.

but they're also the furthest days away - plenty of time

SATURDAY

Showing very wet now for Saturday, rain all day with highs of 15.

Sadly the low has rotated into a worse position on this run, but still no consistency.

[uscore]

yeah if it's going to rain, then raining towards the end of the festival so there's no mud to deal with until then,  is the best.

Showers with a 20-40% chance of rain is hardly the end of the world. I'm happy with the forecast as it stands.

edit: just seen all day rain. Yeah, thats not good. Agreed.

It'll be pissing down on us when the bands are on.

Much happier to stand in mud with dry skies than getting drowned trying to enjoy the music. Which is what we have now. Well, we have both. Mud and rain.

Sunday a shocker aswell.

Worst weather in living memory.

At least Friday looks ok now with a fine temperature, any rain won't be producing mud at that point.

This finger of low looks slightly thinner so there's still hope that it gets chopped off completely. We won't really be sure about Saturday and Sunday until Wednesday and Thursday respectively, so we've got time still.

The rain's gonna shift, I'm calling it

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

All models in agreement and trend is currently downwards. This is not a good situation less than a week out.

Precipitation chart shows just mm.....not sure if that's cumulative for the whole day or what we'll get every 10 minutes....anyone know? 

[jparx]

We're still looking at rain predictions 5 days out. That's just about the hardest thing to predict this far in advance. We're likely looking at showers and cooler temperatures, but it could end up just being a cloudy day with the odd brief shower at this rate. Unfortunately we probably won't know the detail until Friday night/Saturday morning, as was the case this past weekend.

It can change.

Today it was meant to be pissing down when we looked last Wed. The amount of rain can be reduced on Sat.

[Henrik]

Looking fucking awful all weekeknd let's be honest.

No way all that rain misses us on the Friday.

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Azores Finger nowhere to be seen...

[DyatlovReturns]

Where is @Sheffield Steve with the better and more accurate Canadian models?

[AlexOvd]

The bloody high pressure chilling in the nordics. Seriously xd

YR have updated. 

Its gotten worse.

Almost a months worth of rain in 72 hours.

[downtherabbithole]

Time to check out of this thread for this year. Looks a scorcher on Wednesday and Thursday, gonna hope for the best after that but consistently checking it now has to benefit other than mental self-abuse. 

[briddj]

SUNDAY

Dry over night, but the rain comes back in at 9am. Highs of 15 again.

There's also some torrential stuff now showing in the area for Sunday night. Again, it's dry overnight!

But is there a small glimmer of hope here? The low is further west. Could it yet move out further west?

 

MONDAY

Dry for departure.

 

SUMMARY

Another downturn and no sign of the weekend being rescued by the high. We're running out of time for this time improve too much. Really just need to hope that, like this weekend just gone, the rain predictions are wide of the mark this far out.

Even more annoying in this run, it's dry overnight but wet in the day!
