Apple teasing me with an ‘all-timer’ forecast. Too early 🥹

I've been going off my Apple weather to cheer me up for a good week now because it hadn't shown anything awful post Sunday 😅

The continued disregard for us Tuesday people is abhorrent. 

Everyone more than happy for us to get soaked.

Yeah, I figure I've got to keep in mind that the person who puts on the wristband Wednesday was probably setting up Tuesday. Like, I don't want that person to get a drenching before the thing's even started. Bitter experience from lots of wet steward shifts in the 00s!

Incredible the amount of folk looking/obsessing (me included) at this weather thread to the exclusion of everything else! Who knows we could be missing the Taylor Swift secret set or the Oasis reunion rumours😉😊

this is an absolute catastrophe

Shame to see the next run is another outlier! Wish they’d start making these runs a little more reliable! 

[briddj]

Some people are a little concerned about what will happen on Friday. Let's see what the O6Z tells us!

THROUGH TO GATES OPENING

This run tracks with the 00Z in suggesting less rain on Sunday that we'd seen in previous run. Good news.

The bad news? The Tuesday rain is back in this run through the afternoon to the early evening, but not heavy rain.

Completely dry when the gates open, temps of 18.

Wednesday itself is effectively dry on this run, and an improvement on the 00Z. Highs of 21.

THURSDAY

The danger of light rain has returned for the afternoon. But again, this is light stuff. Highs of 21.

FRIDAY

Effectively a completely dry day. The blue shown here would be like being dripped on by a tap. Highs of 21.

SATURDAY

Very small showers of rain. Highs of 21.

 

SUNDAY

Completely dry, highs of 22.

 

SUMMARY

***I'm off to Arctic Monkeys now, so there won't be another detailed update today***

We always knew there was likely to be a wobble, and it was almost certain to come with the 06Z - it's the run which has regularly provided a little downgrade or something to be scared of. But if this is the wobble we get, with a small amount of rain added on a few days, we can take that.

With temps remaining at 21 throughout, it's always comfortable.

This run doesn't have the high coming in and taking control, and that means there is a little more rain around (it really isn't much) and temperatures don't soar.

There is a long, long way to go yet! There is a lot of uncertainty about what happens from Friday onwards. It could yet be finger-tastic.

"The Tuesday rain is back in this run through the afternoon to the early evening, but not heavy rain." = Mudbath

"Effectively dry on this run," =  Not dry enough

"The danger of light rain has returned for the afternoon. But again, this is light stuff" this can sh*t off

"Effectively a completely dry day. The blue shown here would be like being dripped on by a tap." a tap?!? a f**king tap??? no!

"Very small showers of rain" NO NO NO!

Completely dry, highs of 22. - The only correct day in this update.

Try harder people you're not believing enough.

Well this run looks like a pretty standard year overall really, doesn't it?

Thanks for all of your updates! Enjoy Arctics!

Hmm, do I not like that.  This is only 100 miles off being a very wet Arctic Monkeys…and at this range, that could easily happen…even as it is, it’ll be windy with showers.  Let’s hope for improvement later. 
 

[stopwn1981]

[catavento]

All looks pretty much in line with what the Norwegians are saying!

Worth remembering that 2.5mm of rain isn't necessarily a constant light drizzle all Thursday afternoon. It might land on our heads all at once (UKMO have been talking about a showery and unsettled setup all month so no surprise if it did!)

[sunnyshoes]

I feel like we're back on the knife edge. It was bound to happen. Its like that quote from Parenthood about rollercoasters vs merry-go-rounds. We were never gonna have the merry-go-round. 

[HyperTechnoHorse]

Just a reminder that despite the revisionism in this thread ("the forecast always changes last minute!") the forecast does not, in fact, change last minute. Last year I distinctly remember the Friday/Saturday before the festival accurately predicting the festival weather. Likewise for 2019.

Could .. might... maybe...

But right now it isn't! Let's stick to what the charts actually show for Pilton rather than searching for Armageddon. 😉

Nope. 2019 changed at the last minute.
