The Weather Thread 2022

[briddj]

Ok, then. 4 more runs to go before I set off tomorrow. Let's see what the 12Z is going to serve up...

My cooler box with walking boots is potentially somewhere over the Irish sea and may not make it. So Skechers it is.. weather be damned! 😁

Just enough to keep the dust down

Why don't you post amusing memes in here to pep it up a bit?

[Drinky]

The big concern is heat tomorrow. Was planning to arrive at lunchtime but the heat of the day…

[briddj]

The question is, what will the rain now look like on Thursday with the GFS?

THURSDAY

Almost completely dry, temps down a little at 23.

The closest any rain gets to the site is around 6pm, and it would be very, very light.

Nothing around Pilton at 9pm. All the heavy rain is in northern France.

We now know the pressure picture well.

Looooove that the Thurs rain might not actually be a thing. That nearlly tipped me over edge today.

[briddj]

FRIDAY

Rain around on Friday afternoon, with highs of 19. The rain is a little worse in this run for Friday, but it clears earlier.

Clears by the evening and dry overnight.

Very similar pressure situation with the low just to the west of the UK.

[Cooter]

As these forecasts are beginning to get locked in I'd say that's going to be a pretty good festival weather-wise.

[briddj]

SATURDAY

Highs of 17. A very similar rain picture to the last run, with rain around on the edge of the site during the day, very light rain in the evening and clear overnight.

9pm. The lighter rain on the cusp of the site.

A similar pressure picture, though this one would probably bring lighter winds.

[leath02]

maybe this is what BBC optimism was based on

[briddj]

SUNDAY

Some showery rain around during the morning and the afternoon, with highs of 18. A similar picture to the last run, with light showers in the evening. Dry overnight. We could still get lucky and get nothing.

Another very similar pressure position. Perhaps this is now becoming set in stone, and let's be honest it's looked that way for a few days.

MONDAY MORNING

Dry.

SUMMARY

A pretty similar run of showery rain, and the good thing is the Thursday rain still isn't showing up on the GFS.

I think we can now consider it locked in that we are going to experience regular showers through the weekend. Let's just hope the forcefield stands up to most of it. The rain certainly isn't blanket and it's going to be pot luck what we get and what we avoid.

Sun, some showers, nothing really really heavy 

made up my mind, no wellies 

[sunnyshoes]

Sounds pretty positive. Definitely taking wellies but will leave them in the car.

Don’t do it - too risky!
