oh.  I thought I’d been following an interesting and varied discussion, but it turns out i just wandered into some strangers tent where a few random folk are sat around in foldable chairs drinking the local cider, and was too high (on festival anticipation) to notice.

Every forecast I’ve seen says it’s going to be a dry week and roughly 18° each day. It’s all going to be ok. 
If anyone says it’s going to rain …

I’ve ordered the poncho but there are 90 day returns from the website so the optimist in me is gonna keep it in the bag so that when it’s another completely dry festival I can send it back after 🤞🏼

I feel quietly confident that the small amount of rain between now and the festival will do no more than give the place a lush, green feel.  No risk of anything heavy and prolonged enough to do any harm.  Trainer weather for sure.

I am quietly confident that we won’t have any kind of shitshow.

Yep, my WeatherProHD is keeping the faith:

Good bit of wind too which will help dry out the ground.

I think 65° is a bit too warm, I'd prefer something in the region of 20°.

Ok let’s keep optimistic- we don’t want it 2019 too hot but we don’t want it 2007 rain or 2016 mud. 2017 weather would be perfectly acceptable as would any other year apart from 1997, 1998, 2005, 2011 as well 😀👍

 

I would love it to be like 2019, it was an awesome year weather wise.

All the forecasts seem to look favourable. Unless all the data they are receiving is wrong, this is great news. I’m assuming they all get their data from a variety of sources?

at moment it's looks kind of normal british weather, not that hot, some rain about that may or may not hit the festival.

Metcheck show which model they base their predictions on.

How hot was 2019? I wasn't there so can't remember. As hot as 2010?

[Tartan_Glasto]

It reached 30 or 31 degrees I’m sure on the Saturday.

Pretty bloody hot. Think it was around 28 degrees in the days and it was pretty exhausting. Freezing cold at night obviously.

In fact 2019 was like a ramp test with heat.

Possibly 32/33? It was so hot when Maggie Rogers was on the Other Stage (2/3pm-ish?)
