The Weather Thread 2024

Another hot, hot, hot GFS this morning. 

 

Absolutely no rain in this GFS either. 

 

Too good too early!

 

31 on Saturday. 🙃

 I agree with you. It's too soon for these excellent forecasts. 

 

I've gotta disagree, we've had awful weather for so long so its a reasonably good sign that things seem to be changing from next week - even if it does settle into a pattern of warmth, longer periods of sunshine and scattered showers. 

 

It's also positive that for some time (most) models have been in basic agreement that things are trending somewhat drier and warmer toward the end of the month (It's still too soon but consistency is our friend). Can't explain it, but, I feel more positive for the weather for this years festival than I did the last two.

Second day in succession that netweather’s jetstream model is in exactly the right place for the week… fingers remain crossed and in agreement with rlandy95!

[Ayrshire Chris]

So let’s have a low pressure over my house, dragging the warm sunny weather up over Pilton. Let’s face it, after last nights footie there’s already a severe depression here anyway😉😊

Very happy to be disagreed with! I definitely hope you are right. I just don’t want to tempt fate.

I hope it’s not THAT hot, I really struggled at times last year with the heat.

Holy shamoly. The Saharan Plume is in the mix

This is giving me nightmare flashbacks of Gerry Cinnamon on John Peel on the Saturday in 2019. Never perspired so much in my life.

 

Bring on the Azores Fist! I'll make sure to pack my vaseline.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Oh no!  I'm getting flashbacks to warm sunny Glastonburys that weren't miserable rain-sodden mudfests.

[nikkic]

I’d have nightmares about watching Gerry Cinnamon too

Remember that, we arrived late for aGerry Cinnamon and were on the edge of the tent and the heat actually coming out from the tent was incredible, never mind the temp outside.  It was a belter😉

Aye. My entire crew went but Carrie Underwood was the top shagger's choice.

We were on the Carl Cox soul train. 
 

If I’m perspiring heavily, I’m doing it in the shade listening to Marvin Gaye. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not this year you're not. We're all stuck with Paloma Faith and endless reams of talky post punk.

That wasn’t the crew wearing Hibs tops was it? 😊

It wasn't, but we saw them. Huge migration path of Scots heading from The Proclaimers on El Pointo to the JPT.

Massive fingering on this GFS run. 

 

25-26 on Wednesday afternoon and 28 on Thursday afternoon...

 

 

 

worth noting GFS is well known to over egg temps by a couple of degrees, so expect 2-3 degrees lower than that 

[Aragorn]

The operational run is also out on its own in terms of temps looking at the ensembles, virtually no other runs think it will be that hot 

 

[Aragorn]

the T850 temps also an outlier.

Some rain overnight, standing water in places. Currently not raining, overcast slightly windy 

[devonhammer]

Met Office looking good. Love it when multiple models are positive
