Genuine question: what is the point of looking at the models at this stage when they're constantly jumping around so widely? Everyone in here is going from euphoria to misery and back again every few hours - surely better to admit it's totally unreliable now and check a couple of days out?

 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Some folk are checked out, some folk arevrupping the Michael out of it, some folk are along for rhe ride for something to do.

[rlandy95]

Ok I'm calling this an minor substantial improvement on the 6Z imo

 

The bullseye on Sat has been obliterated. High pressure doing its best to reassert domincance.

It's a bit like people getting their hopes up about England in the early stages of a tournament. Some people just enjoy the ride.

Anyone packing thermals?

[Euphoricape]

Other than the tuesday before gates open. Looks essentially dry the whole festival in this run.

[Euphoricape]

Sunday evening too annoyingly.

Just looks like we need the temp upped just a bit. But other than that its looking somewhat better than the last 24 hours. 

[Havors]

I'm feeling the need to stop looking at this thread. I did same around this time like I did last year. Everyone started to panic but turned out lovely 

[briddj]

Be afraid .... be very afraid ... it's the 12Z ...

THROUGH TO GATES OPEN

The usual small amount of rain on Friday night, then dry until ... Tuesday!

 

The low comes in earlier on this run, bringing a weather system of heavy rain close to the site on Tuesday morning. Almost all of this misses the site and hits further north, but it's a nasty picture before gates open.

 

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Dry for gates open. Highs of 15-16.

 

 

Stays dry during the day, but highs of just 17-18.

 

Overnight temps into Thursday of just 10-11.

 

 

The low pressure is more pronounced, but it DOES appear to be retreating on this run, which is on the right.

 

 

THURSDAY

 

Very, very small amount of rain about. Nothing of note. Highs of 19-20.

 

Overnight temps into Friday of just 9-10. Brrr.

 

 

Signs of hope! The high pressure looks to be trying to build in again!

 

Latest on the right, where that little pocket of hell does NOT develop.

 

FRIDAY

 

Totally dry day, with Scotland and northern England getting a drenching. Highs at Glasto of only 16-17. CHILLY

 

Overnight temps into Saturday of 14 - improving.

 

 

No green goblin on this run, but the high pressure is struggling to make the breakthrough on Friday.

 

 

SATURDAY

 

Totally dry, but highs (you what?) of 16-17!

 

Overnight temps into Sunday of, er, 8-9.

 

 

 

Unfortunately the high is retreating, with a pocket of low developing in the Irish sea.

 

 

SUNDAY

 

Essentially dry again, but with highs of just 16!

 

Overnight temps into Monday of 10-11.

 

 

A similar kind of low to the 06Z, but it's developed from a completely different area.

 

SUMMARY

 

This is a better run in terms of the position of the high pressure, but it never manages to build in and temperatures are suppressed by the low to the north of Scotland.

 

It's an interesting run which gives hope, if not much joy.
