Thanks everyone for the reports. M

 

if anyone knows their stuff and fancies doing any for us that can’t get there until Friday please do. !

 

or does anyone have the link of when these charts drop? 

Not arriving until Thursday pm but without @briddjexplaining the graphs, I haven’t a scooby. 

[Phoenix Girl]

Just catching up as have been awake since 4am with excitement.

 

This years weather rollercoaster has been one of the most extreme ones yet! So pleased we got there in the end. Hopefully see some of you at the meet.

Much better picture for the GFS on Sunday this morning. Higher pressure WINNING.

I have been a non posting reader for weeks on here, and indeed for many of the previous years I have been lucky with tickets. I write daily poetry on instagram as @poemparent and was moved to share this tribute to you all today....Thankyou for all the entertainment and insight you all bring - it has been emotional. See you in the fields.

 

 

[Miathedog]

Lovely poem! Thanks ☺️ and also to all in here, it’s been emotional!

Met looking good for the weekend – tiny bit of rain tomorrow morning but nowt on Saturday and a recovery in temps for the Sunday. WE MOVE.

[Leon_Anthony]

Cheers Brid! 
enjoy yourselves everyone!

Here's a super quick summary of the latest this morning for the stragglers like me who can't get there till Thursday / Friday.

 

UKMO

 

Improvement, has mostly taken out threat of rain Sunday but chance of some light passing showers in the am. 

 

GFS

 

Dry festival, upgrade from yesterday evening. 

 

ECM

 

Dry festival, but wants to bring a low in Monday am, so slim possibility that advances into Sunday.

And just for posterity, the GFS rainfall ensembles for Somerset. INTO MY VEINS

I haven't posted much on here but have been lurking daily to see the updates posted by various users. 

 

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all contributors of this thread. It seems like it's been an extremely smooth year I terms of weather outlook so far and yet it had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. I can't imagine what it must be like on a dicey build up (I've only been twice in 2022/3).

 

Best of luck to you all and have a bloody good time!

[Popsider75]

Watching BBC news this morning weather forecast said chance of a shower on Sunday otherwise dry.  That's a result!

Nice to get decent phone signal for a change in the campee field.  Managing to stream live tv when previous times delays in what's apps going!

 

Factor 50 at the ready!

Seems to be another Network onboard this year, where there were two temporary towers on the edge of our camper field last year, there’s now three!!! 
 

Looks like it might even be a Three (the network) tower, as I suddenly have 5 bars 5g on my Three sim this year!!! Not dumping the vodafone PAYG sim just yet though! 😂🙈

Thank you!

We can’t get there until Friday morning (grandparents childcare is 3 nights max 😬) but if anyone on-site still seeing this can you let us know how ground is? Nothing fancy needed - just whether it’s trainers weather or walking boots weathers! 

[Field Commander Jefferson]

Have a great festival all, and thanks for the constant updates on here

Ground is bone dry. 100% trainer weather currently. 

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

GFS 06Z: Dry as a bone baby 😎

[paulshane]

Currently blue skies, slight breeze, hot hot hot, taking a break in Avalon Inn 😀

That looks glorious. Very jealous!

[briddj]

Low pushed further away on Sunday in the latest GFS, temps up a notch.

 

 

Temps up a notch on Saturday too.

 

[gherkin8r]

In case anyone was wondering, just for the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever...... It was and very much still is far too f**king hot for getting set up. However set up we are and first pint in the village inn has been consumed

[devli]

Not going this year, and I'd be lying if I said I haven't secretly been hoping for a wet year, but good god that looks glorious. Enjoy everyone.

If it helps, I watched a bloke break his mallet this morning on the Big Ground. I’d say the ground is ‘firm’…
