If there is a force field, they installed it in 2017, because in 2014, 2015, 2016 the exact opposite was true - it was the Pilton localised downpour magnet. 

It’s obviously what they mean when they talk about site upgrades. People assume drainage, but you don’t need drainage if you can deflect the rain away. They are geniuses

Forecasts 10 days out are a load of bollocks shocker.

We're less than 7 days from opening to be fair...

On that subject, this isn't the chart we wanted from this run is it?

COME ON THE HIGH!

I just want to live in a world where this is real

Maybe we should all arrive Thursday instead?

In 2019 the forecast was still flipping from mid 30s to miserable drizzle the weekend before the festival. I had no idea what to pack until the day before we set off.

So the GFS is the only shit one now it appears.

To be fair, it looks worse than it is, IF that model was to hold true, which it won't, it'd just be a light shower. 

This run isn't the car crash it could have been, and in fact is perfect for many, your goodself included 🙂

yes, temperatures staying below 20C throughout, with plenty of dark clouds and bad vibes.

Can't see the clouds at night anyway...

On to the festival itself. How will will get on?

FRIDAY

Dry, highs of 18.

 

Still in the balance with the low pressure.

SATURDAY

Max temps of 17, again not great. But dry.

The high is failing to build in.

 

SUNDAY

Dry, highs of 19.

Again, no real influence from the high pressure.

 

SUMMARY

So some rain this Sunday, but nothing to be concerned about. There is some rain around on Wednesday morning, but it's not much.

Then, unlike the recent trends, the high fails to fight back and we're left with a weekend of below-par temperatures. Would be slow drying for the Sunday and Wednesday rain.

BUT the low doesn't fully come in either, so it could have been a lot worse.

Twist for me.

Genuinely, what do you get from your trolling? 

Sees @The Nal getting upvotes for doom mongering, and thinks 'I can do that!'

Fails miserably at trying to do that

I was expecting a lot worse tbh.  

Temps are low but thankfully rain also looks minimal over the festival so should be ok ground condition wise.

It's nowhere near as bad as it could be but it's hardly inspiring stuff.  Just needs a little bit more high pressure to push out the lows, hopefully that will appear on the next run.

 

If not, may I recommend a wet suit in this trying time?

That's the one... THAT'S the dream scenario for me. Nice temps & dry

[steviewevie]

with the low and high so close might be windy...northerlies...brrr...

[kalifire]

Anyone complaining about 18 degree temperatures during a dry Glastonbury needs to ‘ave a word with themselves.

Personally I'd like it warmer BUT the rain is spot on, so we'll meet in the middle and call it quits on this one yeah Fuzz? 😉

Yes. So no one knows yet.

5 days in advance for temp.

3 days for rain.

But the chat of Sunday week is Walter Mitty stuff

I reckon we go by BBC 20 odd degrees for the temp on this run! That’ll do me 😁
