The Weather Thread 2024

[Little Thief]

I’ve got a new foe, the wind. My local beer festival just cancelled its entire weekend of sessions due to high winds - rain not even an obstacle. Ever had high winds causing peril at Glastonbury?

Don't give us a new thing to worry about 😂

It was some summer.  My first ever G - and coincidentally the only one where I've ever been a bit too hot.  But that's on me for not hydrating, not having a hat and sweating my coupon off in front of El Pointo waiting for Page & Plant.

I remember seeing some of the C4 footage and the NME photos after Glastonbury that year and it looked like proper arid desert

May and June 2020 were glorious from memory. My daughter was born 3 days before lockdown in March and I was off for 5 months on shared parental leave. That Glastonbury lineup was huge even if it never happened and from memory the weather would have been all timer as well 

 

I know know millions died, but the Taylor-Macca Glastonbury is still the biggest thing that covid robbed us of.

A beer festival tends to generate wind

I seem to remember it being quite rainy on the BBC special broadcast from the farm and thinking we did well (from a weather perspective)?

 

Then again, it might just have been a rainy spell that's shadowing my memory

It was a few showers. On the whole the weather d@bbed up.

From JackOne on Netweather:

Are there any updates on ground conditions, obviously it has been a very wet spring, but it been has a bit drier lately.

In the run to the festival remaining a bit unsettled but with some drier days e.g. the middle of next week.

But one or two hints of something perhaps a little better for the festival itself.

Pressure Charts 6-10 day and 8-14 day

June 20-24                                         June 22-28

Just googled to remind myself who we missed and blimey that line-up poster was horrendous - my eyes!

Opposite reaction here. It's about the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Could well be right. Normally if Im not at a Glastonbury I would watch most of it on TV. I never watched any of the special broadcast or any of the archive stuff in 2020

Not a Taylor swift fan but Taylor, Macca, Kendrick is by any measure a massive trio of headliners.

12z is updating. Keen to see the charts for next week

Before you even dip into the second line of Dua Lipa, Lana etc

[Aragorn]

Not a bad chart this, the azores high extends and pushes the low pressure northwards. Strong high too. 

[Aragorn]

Gates opening looks good. 

 

Trend is definitely for more favourable conditions but a week or so is a longtime in weather terms

[briddj]

Another roasting GFS.

 

Temps of 22, 21, 25, 27, 27 and no rain.

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's worth a

Don't peak too soon. A 2nd date yes but marriage is runs this good 3 days out.

[sedra]

A nice 21-23c with a few fluffy clouds would be ideal. Don’t want wet, squelchy or scorchio 

Thank you.

Gavlar providing the goods again…. I don’t like how good this is going. Making me uneasy
