Otherwise, if you drag the slider, you'll see that once it's started raining somewhere it never ever stops. 😂😂

AKA the 2007 effect

Wednesday morning:

Possibility of slight showers.  Temps around 15 degrees.  

After that, the SW avoids any bands of rain currently forecast.

Highest temps is on the sunday:

 

I'm very cautious at this point.  While things look ok for now, there's a lot of low pressure moving wednesday through to Friday which could bring more unsettled weather.

Don't worry, it will all change again after the next update at 6pm.

Glad to see that chart respecting the Pilton forcefield 😂

[PolygonWindow]

Max temp Wednesday 15 degrees 😂 surely that’s not right

Horrendous shit stain of a run!

[faymondo]

I can't really look at anything yet for the festival as this weekend is still up for grabs and lots of uncertainty. 

Once this weekend is out of the way we will have a better picture.

A possibility some areas this weekend could get 100mm plus on the doomsday rain scenario. Its a complex picture though.

Let's go with the full review of the 06Z!

WEEKEND

It's back to bad news Sunday, with loads of heavy rain around the site area all day.

 

 

The rain stops in the early hours of Sunday, and it's then dry and warm to gates opening.

High pressure around but the low is starting to push down.

WEDNESDAY - GATES OPEN

There is rain around now, and the temperatures are really poor at 11 degrees. Looks like the low is winning on this run.

First days of the festival.

WEDNESDAY

No real rain around during the day but JUST 13 DEGREES.

The low pressure is starting to take hold on the UK.

THURSDAY

A dry day, temperatures recovering to 17.

The low pressure is still dangerously close for disaster.

FRIDAY

Dry again, but very chilly at 15.

Now the high pressure is fighting back! About time!

SATURDAY

Dry, temps recovering to 19.

High pressure now very much in command.

SUNDAY

Another lovely day. No rain, 21 degrees.

High pressure still in command.

SUMMARY

Not a great run at all, with lots of rain this weekend and not great drying conditions through to Wednesday, which has showers.

The Wednesday and Thursday are very cold. That will please the crazy people. But it's TOO EARLY.

What this does perfectly show us is the thread of the area of low pressure, and how it is totally determining our fate. It's going to be a roller-coaster.

If it's 15°c then I hope all those who wanted it colders cans explode in their tent and get harrassed by bugs for the weekend

[davesrave]

If it is a bit chilly at least we won't have to deal with boiling hot cans of beer hey...

How on earth can it be 11C in June? No way this is going to happen!

Glad I bought a new sleeping bag now! My one season one would be struggling….

[steviewevie]

Lovely and cold, bring your big coats.

[fightoffyour]

Can't be right, those temperatures are unbearably cold. Will be difficult to go taps aff on Wednesday at this rate.

[Radiochicken]

There’s actually people happy with 11-15 degrees…

That’s probably a good thing. We don’t want the Glastonbury crowd to be reminiscent of St James Park in November.

On the plus side, Emily has just posted a video of the Glastonbury Sign on Instagram and that ground is DRY.
