The Glasto Festival, also known as the Glastonbury Festival, is a five-day festival of contemporary performing arts that takes place in Pilton, Somerset, England. It is the largest greenfield festival in the world and is known for its diverse range of musical genres, as well as dance, comedy, theatre, and other arts. In the script, the Glasto Festival is the central theme, with the speaker providing updates on its preparations and weather forecasts.

💡High Pressure

In meteorology, high pressure refers to an area where the atmospheric pressure is higher than the surrounding areas. It is typically associated with clear skies and settled weather conditions. In the script, the speaker mentions a trend towards high pressure, indicating a period of dry and fine weather, which is desirable for an outdoor festival like Glasto.

💡Volunteers

Volunteers are individuals who offer their time and effort to help with the organization and running of events without financial gain. In the context of the script, volunteers are crucial for the Glasto Festival, and the speaker mentions that the volunteer gates will open on a specific day, highlighting their importance in the festival's setup.

💡Trough

A trough, in meteorological terms, is an elongated area of low pressure aloft that can result in unsettled weather conditions such as cloudiness and precipitation. The script discusses the movement of troughs and their impact on the weather during the festival, indicating potential rain and cooler temperatures.

💡Showers

Showers refer to a brief and relatively light precipitation of rain. In the script, the possibility of showers is mentioned several times, indicating that there might be intermittent rain during the festival, which could affect the attendees' experience.

💡Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms are weather events characterized by the presence of lightning and its acoustic effect of thunder. They are often accompanied by heavy rain and sometimes strong winds. The script warns of the potential for thundery weather, suggesting that the festival might experience heavy downpours and possibly storms.

💡Warm Front

A warm front is the boundary between two air masses, where warmer air is replacing cooler air, leading to a rise in temperature and often resulting in clouds and precipitation. The script mentions a warm front pushing through, which could bring rain and a drop in temperature, affecting the festival's weather conditions.

💡Northwesterly Wind

Northwesterly wind refers to wind that is blowing from the northwest direction. This type of wind can bring different weather conditions depending on the air mass it is associated with. In the script, a northwesterly wind is mentioned in relation to cooler temperatures and the possibility of showers, indicating a change in weather from what was initially expected.

💡Settled Weather

The speaker initially describes a trend towards settled weather, suggesting that the festival would have favorable conditions, but later updates indicate a shift towards more unsettled weather.

💡Donation

A donation is a gift for a public, charitable, or religious cause without any expectation of a return. In the script, the speaker thanks those who have donated to support the channel and the Glasto updates, emphasizing the importance of community support for the continuation of their content.

💡Model Output

Model output in the context of weather forecasting refers to the predictions made by computer models that simulate the Earth's atmosphere.

update for you shall we oh we're going

to begin here on Monday just a few days

away now of course just a weekend away

really uh Monday 24th of June um when

we've got high pressure sitting over and

to the east c lower pressure is out in

the Atlantic and we're drawing up win

from a southerly Southeast R this will

be the day but the first of volunteers

will be arriving at glasso I think up

rad temperatures looking nice and warm

under that area of high pressure and

because it's high pressure uh weezing

out the clouds amation being set Mo dry

as well with no doubt plenty of sunshine

nice and warm too temperatures into

below 20 Celsius 21 22 definitely

possible there that's around the low 70s

fight however this is a change and

that's about as good as it's going to

get I'm afraid this fifth glass though

update because there is a big big wobble

that's going on with in the model output

at the moment as we go through Tuesday

25th of June more volunteers will be

arriving the high pressures begin to

slip away up towards Scandinavia and

lower pressure is starting to come in

from off the Atlantic uad temperatures

are still looking uh warm with that we

still driv wind up from a southerly

Direction but look at this we've got wet

weather moving in from the West oh dear

oh dear oh dear and that could be

thundery in nature given but I think it

will be quite a warm and humid air M so

there could be some heavy showers maybe

fund storms maybe long Spells Of Rain

pushing in on Tuesday still very warm

over in the inch no doubt quite humid as

well temperatures reaching mid2 Celsius

for glasso the temperatures dropping

back as that probably coldfront pushes

through bringing that band of rain

possibly F all dropping the temperature

back into the um upper teenss Celsius

right well Gates will open people will

be arriving to pitch up their tents and

soak up the atmosphere on Wednesday the

26th of June and we've got a trough here

out to the west of country where did the

high pressure go definite weakening of

the anticyclonic signals for this fifth

update I'm afraid upper air temperatures

are lowering as well as the wind turns

into more of the West here we've got rid

of that wet weather from Tuesday that's

gone off into toward Germany below

countries but more show showery Rain is

waiting in the winds Atlantic that could

well be bringing some wet weather in

from the West on Wednesday if that comes

off and the temperature again it's a bit

on the cool side around 17 18° With the

Wind coming in from the Atlantic and

outbreaks of rain potentially heading in

as well you know quite a significant

deterioration of the uh weather pattern

here Thursday 27th of June more people

will be arriving as gates open to uh

shoke up the atmosphere and whatnot so

again got trough low pressure over to e

higher pressure trying to reach back up

for the uhor highight upad temp is

looking quite cool here as we go through

to next Thursday showers particularly in

the East is too far away that kind of

detail it looks quite a showery air mass

you'll notice there's another um area of

wet weather to the south and west of

Ireland as well so this middle part of

the week looking quite unsettled now

unfortunately with showery burst

temperature

you know upper team possibly reaching

20° certainly nothing to get overly

excited about though right well that

takes us through to Friday the 28th of

June this will be the first day of the

main part of B event Friday Saturday and

Sunday and got another little low

pushing through across the north of the

country much weaker pressure with this

GFS run you will notice one of the upper

a temperatures do well we're lifing up a

little bit in myself but still looking

quite cool up in the nor wet weather is

particularly the nor but I wouldn't take

that overly seriously certainly the risk

of showers at the very least on Friday

if not maybe longer spells of rain and

most temperatures are looking quite

disappointing as well sort of mid to

Upper te cels is about the best that the

botle is going for there day two of the

main part of the glass Festival will be

Saturday the 29th of June with high

pressure out to the West Winds coming in

from more of a northnorth Westerly

Direction upper air temperatures are

looking really quite cool what happened

to the hot um update but we started off

with well that's the uh problem with uh

the longer range you know it is subject

to change as we say um in in in the

updates you know the first week we just

looked for the trend the second week

where we adding the detail and I did say

but just because we got Trend doesn't

necess we did have a trend you know was

a trend towards high pressure W dry web

but I did say that because we got

trained doesn't necessarily mean it's

the correct train well anyway we're

through to precipitation for Saturday 29

for June and with that Northwest nor

wind we've got showers here especially

in central Norther Eastern areas and the

temperatures are depressed as well go of

mid to Upper teams C is about the best

that we H get there that takes us

through to the final day of GL be

Festival then which is Sunday the 30th

of June trying to reach high pressure in

from the asor but still really we're

under an upper level trough there the

upper air temperatures still look pretty

cool there's further showers especially

for England and Wales um and the

temperatures remain quite cool as well

16 17° and I know course of you would

like to see the weather for the day but

you're packing up and going home which

is R dat the 1 of July so we will

include that as well where we go into a

northwesterly flow high pressure out to

the West up rare temp remain relatively

cool there's more showers especially in

Northern regions actually but don't take

that seriously those temperatures are

pegged back again just into the um Mid

Celsius at best so really quite a

disappointing fifth update clearly

there's been a very significant change

here from the earlier updates doesn't

necessarily mean Mr the way things are

going to P pan out um you know if we

have still got time to flip back towards

higher pressure but I think certainly

for the beginning of next week it's

looking relatively straightforward

mostly dry and quite warm but it's

around the middle of next week this run

brings the changing very early might be

a little bit later to that but I would

say sometime around Wednesday we are

likely to see some sort of fundry

breakdown and then whether we go into an

unsettled pattern as this um uh

particular model run is doing or whether

we find high pressure reestablishing

later next week will beit within a

cooler type hair Mass um that's a little

a little bit uncertain and we still got

to firm up on that but he certainly not

looking as straightforward next week now

as it did in the earlier update so I'm

so sorry for those of you that are

disappointed with this fifth update

please be gentle with me don't shoot the

messenger but uh but yeah you know it is

it is quite disappointing the way that

we've seen this flip here in the last 24

or so hours nevertheless if you've
