Unbelievably it's nice in West Yorkshire.

 

Got a 60th in a huge marquee tonight - might bring pre-festival vibes, but I'm facing a late fitness test.

I massively failed my fitness test at Chessington World of Adventures yesterday with the boy. 
 

Sadly I have to report to the gaffa that I am not match fit for Glasto 😢

00z minus Thursday rain would be the dream.

GFS 6hz is supporting the earlier runs for the Wednesday (warm/no rain). Next hurdle is the low towards the weekend

I didn’t go in 2019 so missed the delights of this thread. At what point did people realise it would be ridiculously hot?

Same time as now - signals started Sat, runs converged Sun IIRC. But there was plenty of thunderstorm fear Mon-Wed.

We arrived Thursday midday, all weather reports were wall to wall sunshine.

Left my wellies in the car, first time I've ever been confident enough to do so.

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! 

 

All hail Met Eireann!

[Metal Monkey]

Crazy how late people knew. I bet it was a struggle at times. 

[Alvoram]

This 06z is coming together nicely!!!

You'll be glad of that drizzle Wednesday in those temperatures... Will barely make it to the ground before evaporating again!!!

Hope you had suncream and didn’t end up looking like a baboon by the Saturday.

They finally predicting something but 16c Alvo?

[briddj]

Right. Strap in, let's hope the 06Z backs up the 12Z. Let's go!

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Scorchio at 9am with temps of 21-22. Completely dry.

 

 

During the day, some very light showers around and highs of 24-25.

 

Temps overnight into Thursday of a barmy 16-17.

 

 

Very similar pressure picture, and it all relies on what happens with possible low which could develop in Spain. Latest on the right.

 

 

THURSDAY

 

GET IN! UPGRADE KLAXON!

 

Dry other than showers show light they would evaporate before hitting the ground. Highs of 25-26.

 

Temps overnight into Friday up to 17-18.

 

 

Pressure not quite as good in this run, so we're just waiting on the lows north and south to be repelled. Rain is shitting northern France due to this. Latest on the right.

 

 

FRIDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 20-21.

 

Temps overnight into Saturday of 15.

 

 

 

Possible pocket developing again in northern France, which is causing that torrential rain for them. But will it get to Glasto? Latest on the right.

 

 

SATURDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 20-21.

 

Temps overnight into Saturday of 12-13.

 

 

 

Small drop in temperatures is due to the battle to hold onto the high. Yet the high does seem to be winning! This is happening! Latest on the right.

 

 

SUNDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 21-22.

 

Temps overnight into Monday of 12-13.

 

 

Lovely, lovely high pressure. Latest on the right.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Gaskajsnad!ijasnd@! Hold the frickin' phone! The Thursday rain has gone and high pressure wins again.

 

WE'RE IN THIS! IT'S LIKE WEDNESDAY IN THE PLAYOFFS in 2023!

 

Amazing scenes once again, yet there remains doubt about what truly will happen on Friday.
