There’s still time for you to apologise to the weather gods and allow them to bring the glorious sunshine to the farm. 
 

If you feel homesick I’m sure someone can stand by you and pour water over your head.

at least won't have to worry about dehydration.

Not even going this year, but long range forecast looks good.

You are all way too rattled 😛

GFS calling an absolute scorcher next weekend. Will we be punished for it the week after? 

[HyperTechnoHorse]

Current GFS predicting an ungodly low pressure system hanging over British Isles on the weekend before festival and whole festival week. Not seen anything like it for years. POTENTIALLY biblical storms (!), more likely just constant unrelenting downpours as cloud systems will just circulate around us. 

Unless something changes very soon it's game over, man. 97/98 repeat is a very real possibility.

I was thinking last night that I am anecdotally hearing about a lot more covid cases up here in Scotland at the moment - after going months without it being an issue. 

Another thing to worry about pre-festival!!!

Mud, rain and exposure to covid are seemingly inevitable at this point

Was about to say GFS 06z is a marginal improvement looking at Tues - Weds of festival week but Thursday / Friday is just as bad, so as you were.  

Plenty of time for it to change. Some signs the low trough might be pushed north for week of festival after the initial breakdown.

I doubt she’s a festival kind of lass. But I might be wrong

Damn, let's not get brought down by talk of covid.  For the record, whilst there is evidence of a slight uptick in cases we need to be clear that there has been a downward trend for 3 months now and we have dropped from 100k cases a day to less than 7000 in that time.  Even if it were super megatron-omigod strain there wouldn't be enough time for cases to reach any kind of concerning numbers before the festival. 

How about we just forget about that and focus on the real issues at hand: Isobars and azores fingers.

As long as that finger has been washed for a couple of happy birthdays and doused in hand gel

sat/sun look ok though! 🙂

There was lots of unsettled weather in the lead up to 2019 and without fail every rain band would head towards Pilton before abruptly turning the other way. 
 

Until there are raindrops hitting the ground, I still believe in the Pilton force field.
