Sheffield Steve Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 The situation might look dire now but big improvements are on the way. This is the moisture level of the top layer of soil as of today. The dark blue indicates 100% saturation where any further significant rainfall will result in flooding: However, the situation in 10 days time is much better with all the dark blues having disappeared: Beyond that, the models are predicting a warmer and drier than average spring and summer. This is the next 6 weeks temperature predictions when compared to average: 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of the fields near me are flooded, first time I’ve seen that in 5 years of living here. Certainly feels wetter where I am, thankfully I’m hundreds of miles from the festival!

I look at the post above and take the positives from that . will dry out fairly quickly this week and the sun is out now like forecast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lake has been pretty consistently high (although I've seen it higher before now, including the 2015 floods) and there are paths and fields which normally dry out between soakings which just don't seem to have this year.

Evilredzebra Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 I seem to remember a soggy build up in 2019 which is the last time I got in and it was the hottest festival I've known. I'll take mid twenties and no rain please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield Steve Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 So the April run of the ECMWF seasonal forecast model has been released. If anything, it has become warmer than the March run. The whole of Europe is predicted to have a much warmer than average May/June/July, with June now looking particularly warm in France and Spain. If we get a southerly at the end of June, we could be in for a scorcher… May: June: 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield Steve Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Things are looking up. After a wet start this week, this is the next 6 weeks rainfall anomaly forecast. This takes us up to exactly a month before the festival, 22nd May. Rainfall is either at or below the long term average, so the site should be drying out nicely soon… 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the next few weeks don't look that great. If the Monthly Outlook still looks like this in a month's time, I'll start to worry. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/outlook Edited April 19, 2023 by doogie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
