Sounds like it was broken?

Don't blame it. If I was out in the sun on a day that's 30 in the shade, I'd probably get up to 49.9° then black out and need to be taken back inside 😂

There's folk seeking out the shade on sunny days no doubt, but I'd hazard a guess that most of them are hungover rather than unable to normally cope with 23 degrees.

I'm fairly sure 2011 was one of the hottest I've been to and looking back it seemed to be 23°

It 100% had more of a negative impact than any "rainy" years I've been to (minus 2016 but that's the other end of the scale)

2011 was a mud bath. You're thinking of 2010 which was glorious.

Has all UK meteorological equipment been set up in the shade?  I did not get this memo.

Other countries aren't actually warmer - they just sneak their measurement equipment into the sunshine when nobody is looking.

2011 was wet on Friday but it cleared up and by Sunday it was really very hot!

Wellies and bikini tops were a common sight.

No fuc*ing trousers, no fuc*ing compromise

It’s lovely now. Clear skies

Thursday shower risk is alarmingly close in the 12z

Other countries do the same thing.

Been an avid reader of this topic for the past couple of months and would like to thank those that provide the charts and the interpretations of them, I`d like to thank Nal for the fun (there is only one Nal)

 

I won`t be back on this Topic, gotta finish packing and get an early night ready for an early start tomorrow and the Drive down from Scotland but before I go here`s my tuppence worth 🙂 

No Rain is the only acceptable option and on that I will not compromise.

I`ll Take any temp from 15 to 30 Deg C, my own preference would be towards the higher end. I know that doesn't suit everyone but there you go.

Everyone enjoy Glastonbury and stay safe (and dry) anyone going to the meet look out for me I`ll be the one wearing the NFRNFC shirt 🙂  

[squirrelarmy]

Always been baffled about the no rain, no compromise business. 
 

We can’t control the weather so does that mean all the NFRNFC lot will go home at the first sign of drizzle?

Or will you actually compromise and deal with the wet stuff should we get any?

Latest week ahead from Met Office. A north south split over the weekend with showery cool conditions in the North and SUNNY DRY WEATHER FOR GLASTONBURY. 

Refers to Tuesday as ‘heavy, persistent rain, some rumbles of thunder’.

So is this it?? Can I leave wellies at home and go with walking boots, converse and sandles?

No walking boots, just trainers and flip flops and bare, hairy hobbit feet. You can eat your wellies, you'll never need them again.

You should always do that anyway, wellies offer no advantage over hiking boots

I have  had mud go over the top of walking boots, multiple times, it was not pleasant. 

They have a place, just maybe not at the farm since they did so much drainage work.

I can get behind NFR, it does dampen the atmosphere especially if it's persistent for an entire day or more

I just don't understand those wanting it hot. What's the downside to it being (for me a very pleasant) 17-19? You have to wear a jumper, heaven forbid? 

What do these people do at night, go back to the tent and switch into a full cosy outfit? Wooly hat, hand warmers?

[briddj]

We're getting closer and closer!

It's time for the 12Z... what will it bring?

TUESDAY

Very similar to the last run, as we know, with the threat of a lot of heavy rain in the early hours.

It's then a dry morning before a very small amount of afternoon rain.

All in, good drying temperatures of 21-22.

WEDNESDAY

Dry when gates open with temps of 19.

Still showing the possibility of some very, very light showers in the PM - but nothing of note whatsoever. Temps of 21.

Overnight temps into Thursday: 13

THURSDAY

Completely dry (though with the threat of a little rain close by), highs of 22.

Overnight temps into Friday: 12-14

FRIDAY

Completely dry, highs of 21.

Overnight temps into Saturday:  15-17

SATURDAY

Completely dry, highs of 23.

Overnight temps into Sunday: 

SUNDAY

Completely dry, highs of 25-26.

Temps through Elton are still up at 22-23.

Overnight temps into Monday:  15-16

SUMMARY!

Another absolutely excellent run, and people will definitely appreciate getting a degree or two back on the temps in the last run.

So, so close.

What will you do if there is some rain?

Clouds in the sky = more chance of rain.

I'm starting to think people on here don't understand weather at all..

Cool weather doesn't mean cloudy

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not in the winter, no.

Although the rain from Sunday night into Monday looks interesting and possibly a bit problematic for us if it develops any earlier - might be one to keep an eye out for...

[stopwn1981]

It’s still on a knife edge and will be all week/weekend
