I always wear a straw cowboy hat. In the heat it’s great. Keeps the sun off the back of your neck and let’s cool air flow over the top of your head. I swear by them now. I just buy one there. I look like a n0b but it’s saved me from the sun so many times when my mates have been wilting. Also a rechargeable fan with a mister is amazing. Trips to ice cream vans for ice lollies a life saver too, really brings down your core temperature which is essential.

all this heatwave chat is tempting fate isn't it

Not liking the look of the rain on Monday / Tuesday 😬

[fightoffyour]

We’re not getting fingered on the 06z, nor does the low develop - we’re caught on a mid pressure isotope. Bands of rain coming through every day. Bad.

As sure as there is shite on a donkeys arse, the weather forecasts will lurch from one extreme to another until three days before the festival. No need to panic or get overly optimistic yet!

06z - it’s over (again)

[briddj]

Holy Mary, Mother of God...

On a train so can't get the screengrabs to work, but Saturday into Sunday would require canoes in the 06Z.

Current GFS run isn't even funny. It's cancel the last two days of the festival territory.

[sunnyshoes]

Here we go ... from heatwave to biblical rain - all in 12 hours. I don't know why I do this to myself - the highs and the lows are too much for my nervous system but it's like a weird addiction. 

[Dreamingofsunnydays]

Not loving the temperatures at all.

No it's not... 10ml over the space of 3 hours early hours of Sunday morning... So Moderate showers early hours when we're all asleep is the worst it throws up... 

Light showers Friday and Saturday... 

Hardly cancel territory haha.

Tractors pulling cars in and out of the car park one by one

ECMWF is now showing less than 1 cm of rain in total between now and the Tuesday before the festival... And that high is building nicely for the weekend ahead... 

We always preferred the ECMWF anyway...

Folk like winding other people up sadly, it's kinda cruel. Ensembles will be out in an hour and confirm this is an outlier.

Oh my gawd ME TOO. I assume you’re going to Glastonbury given you’re on this thread. Nice to know I’m not the only crazy one!!! 

Unless we win tickets 😫 we had coach and had to make a pretty devastating decision that we needed the car incase I went into early labour. Couldn’t swap them so had to give them up. Most heartbreaking decision (most people will know how much it would have KILLED me!!!)

Very few people are being "a Nal". We're just looking each individual GFS run. And if you think that Saturday day, evening and overnight would be fun then you've got a different idea of fun!

So dramatic 😂 

[stopwn1981]

Same every year, show an ounce of concern and you’re poundshop Nal. Must mean the default human condition is misplaced positivity - who knew

I think it’s for the ones who only pop up when there’s a bad run, then disappear when it’s looking good. It’s too early to worry or rejoice, chill.
