The highest temperature ever recorded in the UK was registered only recently in 2019, when Cambridge Botanic Garden recorded a blistering 38.725 degrees Celsius

Blistering? Thats just another day in Vegas.

 

if those temps hit the fest I guarantee somebody would die.

Ha ha!  Sure is lucky that Michael Eavis's family didn't establish a dairy farm there.

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Still a long way out, but the trend being better each run is a great sign.

Its easier to hide the bodies when its 40 out all the time.

I'll feel more secure once UKMO model is within range then it's all about Euro4 model for short term accuracy

Bad! The threat of a very big soaking for the Saturday before.

Still too early for this to be right, but it would not be good!

Absolute catastrophe, biblical. Game over, man.

The latest chart (right) is completely different to the last. Such is the roller-coaster of the GFS.

[briddj]

It's a horror run. Barely stops raining until 3pm on Monday.

[briddj]

At least it's nice for the gates opening...

This is 2016 all over again. It's going to be a complete mudbath.

Nah the Saturday chart is too bad to be true and will be an outlier. If it proved to be true, there would probably be no festival to go to.

[HyperTechnoHorse]

From just eyeballing the rain chart on GFS it's implying over 100mm of rain falling between Sunday afternoon through to Monday night.

It's going to be carnage.

[briddj]

Festival itself is very dry and lovely and warm. Saturday at noon.

[briddj]

And Sunday is ROASTING. Sorry, heat haters!

I’m in Vegas now and it is the hottest I’ve known it here for this time of the year. Scary hot.

Oh yeah, those temps shouldnt hit for another month or so on average. The worst part is mid summer that it can stay at triple digits at night which is brutal.

[Ayrshire Chris]

this one looks good! Backup the rollercoaster!

So we're predicting mud underfoot and unbearably hot temperatures? The worst of both worlds?

That has often been the case! I remember 2011 the sun came out hot on Sunday after a few wet days - sticky mud and sunburn 😀 I had to go buy a fan! 

[Reckoner]

Doesn’t look like anything the force field can’t steer away from the farm.

Not quite as bad as it gets, but not far off

[JoBalls]

I think we could do with a few light showers in the lead up to the festival to reduce the pollen count as it is currently inexplicable. 
 

Otherwise god knows how I’ll survive in the actual countryside; I’ve not left town the last few days and have been double dropping antihistamines, nasal spray, eye drops etc and it’s not even touching the sides.
