Thank God for that. The thought of brushing up against all those sweaty grotesque, spindly, ghost-like chests in the John Peel, turns my stomach inside out.

Probably will be sweaty but otherwise fine

position of low brings air down from the artic circle...

you can see from the T850s the cold air being drawn down - air flows anti-clockwise around low pressure.  The 850 temp is 0 which means the ground temp is significantly cool for this time of year.  

On the plus side Northerlies tend to have a fairly dry air feed apart from on coasts

Bang on average. Perfect day for sitting outside with a few cans. 

yeah, that's almost perfect..just need a few more clouds.

Actually interesting that feel like temperature is a bit lower, I guess because of wind direction.

Can't find historic data for pilton specifically, but the Yeovilton weather station due south has precise historical data and it does not bode well...

you can see that the last significant rainfall in 2016 was on the 16th, which was about 32mm. Sunday's biblical storm should be about 25mm, but with a couple of days less time to dry out. 

It's looking like it could be absolute carnage. Mudbath on entry, perpetual showers, temperatures around 15C.

Not wanting to feed the trolls, but Mar-Apr-May in 2016 were also wet/cold.  This alone wasn't the problem.  The ground is sahara dry at the minute so an entirely different story.

I make that around 80mm in the run up, no drying time on the Mon/Tue/Weds. We’re looking at 1/4 of the rain, on dry ground so it runs right off, with two days to bake off the last bits. No worries at all!

That Saturday was ridiculous. We were at John Peel tent for She Drew the gun and Gerry Cinnamon and it was just unbearable. Had to go and lie on the shade for a bit between 2 tents. The ground in the Mandela bar was just completely covered with people seeking refuge from the sun

The only time I have ever crashed at Glastonbury was that Saturday. Knew there was a fence with some shade by the acoustic tent and was one of those poor people you walk past and go awwwwwww.

Was back for The Chemical Brothers though.

That Saturday was awful. Strangely of our group, I handled it a bit better than some. 1 of my mates (who likes the heat) was in a bit of a bad way. Heatstroke. I spent quite a while trying to sort him out. I think trying to help took my mind off of how bad I felt

I think sometimes it ends up worse for people who like the heat in terms of getting heatstroke because they just go out in it and don’t realise they’ve overheated until it’s too late. I’m sure as someone who doesn’t cope with heat at the best of times you were way more prepared and took precautions to keep as cool as possible.

I think I had a bit of that. Made the daft decision to walk the car and back to get ale. Was then warm from the off and just couldn't cool down. Option was blazing hot outside tent or sweaty inferno inside the tent. Wont make that mistake again.

Yeah it was.  I completely drenched myself/my clothes near the back of the Pyramid field and was dry by the time I'd walked to the Park.  32 in the shade up there apparently.  But I'd STILL rather cope with a day of that than a day of pissing down and mud.

[The Nal]

Depends how hungover you are no? 2010 I struggled one of the days becuse I was hungover like a motherfucker. 

2019 was fine. Hot like, but nothing a bit of water over the head couldn't handle.

I'm with them, I'll take a wet year over a hot one any day of the week

The heat absolutely kills the atmosphere, walking around is an ordeal, tents don't help much and are usually rammed because no-one wants to be out in the blistering heat all day, tents are uninhabitable after 8am etc.

 

Genuinely excited that we might be in for the perfect year of mild weather

Not for me. I'd rather it not be muddy, but I can habe a laugh in the mud. 2016 Fri is my favourite ever Glastonbury day.

[gherkin8r]

I've never been as glad to have a cool bag full of I've cold ciders. I was dipping my hat in the ice/ water and putting it back on which was glorious
