The Weather Thread 2024

[Aragorn]

around T150 hours is the chart to watch - and if the low pressure gets cut off and merges with the one across the Bay of Biscay 

[JORDO]

Will you all stop crying about the weather! Nobody on here can predict exactly what is going to be like this far out so just prepare accordingly. If its wet and muddy you've two choices, plan for it and get on with it or stay at home. The weather models will change daily. Look forward to a good weekend regardless!

No we certainly won't.

We won't know the outcome till a few Tory MPs put a bet on 🤭

 

Little bit of politics to lighten the mood, sorry 🤷

Are you new here? I think he’s new.

I’m not going this year but obsessed with the thread!!!

This is looking worse than the 00Z.....

[AdrianH]

Not liking the look of 06hz GFS run at the critical period - low pressure making deeper inroads and angled directly at the UK. However if it clears away faster, its not necessarily a bad thing - we just don't want it lingering.

[AdrianH]

There's the opportunity for high pressure to build back over the top if the low pressure will clear away SE.  Fine margins as usual.

Think realistically now, that's 5 bad runs out last 7?

 

Likely now we're heading towards a wet one.

 

Very very annoying but can't be helped.

 

Bring waterproofs and good footwear, prepare to trudge.

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

TBH this looks like it's going to show the low clearing quicker over the weekend, so potentially a sh*tty Wednesday followed by drier conditions?

Waterproof trousers are clown gear

[NotAnInsider]

The only positive of a wet festival is that it might make ticket day a bit easier next time. It's been so long since out last muddy one that there are huge chunks of people who have only experienced dry, beautiful slop free Glastonbury's.

 

A sticky messy affair might put them off.. I hope.. maybe.

I personally find it crazy how different this already is, the postioning and sizes of lows could not be more different to the 00Z. Everything feels very, very uncertain as to what the actual outcome will be in 6-10 days.

Does anyone actually wear these at the festival? Surely it's shorts or nothing.

With respect, I think you might be letting this get to you too much - these computer modelled charts, enjoyable as they are, are all basically voodoo this far out. It'll be fine, you'll have a great time, the weather will be okay

I think that's the ideal scenario - it seems fairly likely that the low will visit us at some point now, we just want it shunted off quickly so high pressure can build back in before another low arrives.

I don't know if I would go as far to say that (yet) 😅 more alluding to the fact that the models are struggling to pin down the exact postioning of everything.
