[NorthernSoul52]

Perhaps a slight drizzle on the Sunday evening, nothing more.

 

Just a misting to take the dust off.

So it’s official, the U.K. has just experienced one of the warmest Mays (and spring as a whole) ever recorded.  It might not have felt like it, but the figures were helped considerably by warm overnight temperatures as much as warm daytime temperatures.   

 

This is the maximum, minimum and average temperatures for May compared to average.
 

 

But it’s also been a wet May, which will come as a surprise to no one. Particularly in the Glastonbury area…

Rainfall compared to average:

 

 

The first 2 weeks of June will bring the averages down a bit - 2 weeks of cool weather forecast…

Not keen on all that blue. Though not like the pink helped us much in May.

[Franky]

It’s gonna be a close one but still time for it to be a scorcher.

This is wild! May was crap, still got literally zero cherries on my tree and no vine leaves for my dolma. My garden is usually out of control long before now! How can it have been the warmest ever?! 

 

Come on pleeeaaase find some better highlights for us! The numbers must be wrong do it again! Lol

Beeb has stuck its neck out. Met Office still being cagey. Jetstream forecast is encouraging for the Beeb version. Fingers crossed 🤞 

[4AssedMonkey]

I can stomach temps being lower than average. I just don’t want to be wading through sticky wet clay all weekend. I’m old. I’m fat. I’ve got sh*t, damaged knees. Come on Rain Gods, GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

[Glastonbury101]

Second state of the ground report is good tho! Its apparently a lot drier so can take some rain (in a worst case scenario - don't worry it will be 2010 again) - just finding the little wins...

This is the ECMWF rainfall forecast. There’ll be some rain over the site today, but after that it should be mostly dry for the next 10 days, bar a few showers.  No sign of any organised rainfall.  And the run ends with a lovely big area of high pressure giving warm and sunny weather in 10 days time.  It’s looking promising peoples …🤞🤞

15? Try 11c in Yorkshire today.

 

My house is very cold in general, my office heater was on this morning and it's June...

STEVE YOU SEXY BASTARD

[Ayrshire Chris]

Just get that finger shoving any rain and cold up to me. Quite happy to take one for the team. (Until July!)

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye, I can hack a bit of cool air. It's moderate to heavy rain any day but the end that will make me a grouch.

[TiZuff]

so by the looks of it its going to be cold for a bit, then warm for a bit and no rain... but not as scorchio as last year ?

sounds perfect to me
