The weather beforehand is great, but the weather on the day looks in the balance with a 30-50% chance of some rain at some stage. Where are the GFS maps that @briddj shared in here from and is there any way I can get them online for Bath? Congratulations, hope you enjoy your big day... Those charts were from here https://www.netweather.tv/charts-and-data/gfs You'll see a grid of numbers, ignore that for now, then underneath you'll see 4 drop down boxes, ignore the two on the right for now. In the top left drop down box, where it says "Choose Chart Type" Choose Height 500hpa + SLP for the pressure charts. Choose UK max Temp for, you guessed it, max temp. Choose UK Precipitation for the rain. The box directly beneath that, which reads "Current," is where you choose between the most recent (current) run, or the previous one, done 6 hours before. Sometimes the most recent one is still 'in progress' (The GFS is run every 6 hours, with each run labelled 00z 06z 12z or 18z, where the number refers to the hour in 24 hour format. So a 06z is the 6am run.) Once you've set both of those drop down boxes use the slider (Or arrows << | >> either side) to move between times in 3 hour increments. The time and date is indicated in the top right of the image, so "Valid Wed 17/07 21:00" means just what it says, that this slide is showing the current run's prediction for that time and date. If you set the two drop down boxes on the right in the same way, you can do comparisons between different runs, or different chart types on the same run. Hope this helps. But try not to worry, it doesn't look like much will fall before the early afternoon Saturday, and still early days yet, it's all to play for, hopefully this gets delayed further to Sunday. Or held up North entirely by that North Atlantic low not dipping down so far. 🤞 Edited July 16 by Alvoram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest run has the rain shifted North a touch and arriving in Bath a little later, not to mention it looks like much lighter rain in the area. Plus, look at those temperatures!!! I'm telling you... It's moving in the right direction... You've got this!!! 💪🤞 (We all need to just will it to happen, like before the festival, to shift the weather for Hodgey's big day!!!)

efcfanwirral Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 (edited) I've got Y Not Festival at the end of the month and it looks like some absolutely perfect festival weather - High 21 or 22 and Low 14 each day and almost no rain. Really hoping it stays that way! Edited July 19 by efcfanwirral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd it go Hodgey? hoping it went well and you got some dry hours for those photos!!! Was forecast to rain here, right up to the very hours they were forecasting rain for, but it never came at all, overcast at times, but a nice day all things considered. And congratulations again.

It rained lightly on and off, but it didn't really impact the day much at all. The day before (19 July) was 30 degrees so I think everyone was slightly grateful it wasn't that hot on the day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlierc Posted Saturday at 08:44 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 08:44 AM Guess the weather being more normal for Glastonbury this year was a plus. Bad storm damaging stages at Leeds to the point where they can't be used and also compromising Creamfields sounds spectacularly crap.
