Right, let's hope we lose the horror Thursday on the 00Z!

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Completely dry through and highs of 21-22. Result!

 

 

Very, very light showers in the afternoon, highs of 26!

 

Temps overnight into Thursday of 17-18.

 

 

 

THURSDAY

 

There is some nasty rain around, but this is better than the last run and the worst goes further north.

 

And ... woah! Highs of 23-24! Massive upgrade!

 

Temps overnight into Friday of 14-15.

 

 

So, why the higher temperatures?

 

The pocket of low pressure has not developed to the south, though we need to watch that one in Spain, which has troubled us before. Latest on the right.

 

 

FRIDAY

 

Completely dry and highs of 20-21, again good for any necessary drying.

 

Temps overnight into Saturday of 12.

 

 

 

This is a great picture! The low in Spain doesn't develop and the high appears to be building in! Latest on the right.

 

 

 

SATURDAY

 

Completely dry and highs of 20-21.

 

Temps overnight into Sunday of 11-12.

 

 

High pressure is winning! Latest on the right.

 

 

SUNDAY

 

Completely dry and highs of 20-21.

 

Temps overnight into Monday of 11-12.

 

 

Just look at the difference in the pressure picture on the right!

 

 

SUMMARY

 

We're BACK IN THE GAME. Yes, there's the threat of some rain on the Thursday, but the worst is north of the site and these temperatures would allow drying.

 

This is a MASSIVE upgrade on the runs of the last few days. The low pressure doesn't build in, the temperatures stay nice and pleasant, and it's dry.

 

COME ON.

 

 

Can I just shock you? I like GFS models! Despite what I said earlier

[briddj]

Obviously, the full review is, as usual, at the bottom of the previous page. 😆

[Glastonlocal]

Yes briddj babes, IT IS BACK ON

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Thanks @briddj for the updates. Hopefully trainers weather back on then 💃🕺

[al_coholic]

Break out the trainers and f**k the wellies. 

 

Well till tomorrow at least

We are so back. Knew it was going to be fine 😎

[Skip997]

Stopped raining sometime after midnight. 
 

Back to sunshine 🌞 

[Jacko45]

Don't want to be the party pooper, but this mornings positive is buried in days of bad forecasts.

 

So try not to get too hung up on it, it may well be an outlier, nice as it is.

[CaledonianGonzo]

How's the ground looking?

Someone on Facebook said it rained for about 3 hours but days started off beautifully and the grounds good.

We'll have none of that talk in our moment of glory, thank you very much.

 

And remember, the closer the more reliable.

Met Office the gold standard, the ultimate weather Oracle. All great until COP Friday with a 10% chance of rain at 22.00 I'm having that and with the grace of Michael we will win Saturday tommorow as well. Then just one day to go which could be a refreshing shower and dust killer so of no consequence.

If anything to op run above was the more negative of all runs. So deffo improvement

If you flip onto the map view with the rainfall layer you can see a bit of high pressure protecting the UK from some nasty business coming in off the Atlantic.  Instaed, seminal NW European country Ireland take one for the team.

Happy to do our bit!! Oddly enough, the MO here last Wednesday said that we’d get a nice warm high this weekend, but there would some rain first (which we got right on cue yesterday evening) and that the warm weather would last til about next Wednesday, when it was due to deteriorate, however the South of England would do better and it was likely to hang around longer! 

[Aragorn]

Could be alot worse that's for sure

[ibilly99]

The problem though is the farm lies in a valley with it's own microclimate - generic reports don't factor in this unknowable wild card  which tends towards rain.

So who else is scrambling about reassessing what clothes to take? Apart from the footwear, take for all eventualities

Changing nothing for me personally, lovely to see but one good run doth not make a summer.

It's the nagging Glastonbury rain mind worm that lives permanently in the cerebral cortex once it has been infected by experience of a muddy year. There is no cure.
