haznutuk Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Just had a call from daughter on site. The mud was *BAD* at the gates and around the Main Market areas yesterday. But no real problems where she is camping in Pennards. She also says that what mud there is is drying out fast. But being a typical teen she hasn't ventured far from her tent on Pennards today so this report is strictly local to that area of the site.

dancingdaisy09 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 For anyone looking at this thread from the site. Lots of rain tomorrow night so make sure that you waterproof up tomorrow eve when leaving your tent to hit the stages. Lush on Saturday & Sunday. It's going to be a wellie weekend for sure, but wear sun cream as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al-in-london Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Cloudy but quite warm in Park Field now. A few ugly looking clouds about, but still no rain today so far. Is there any chance the Metoffice could be wrong? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pumpkin King Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 gruesome conditions...had no idea we were meant to be getting such a deluge of rain on the Friday...BBC predicted a 'light shower' but it hammered down and turned the ground to complete shit stickiest mud ive ever seen down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkungfusion Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Well, those 258 pages were bollox then! Quite chuffed with the weather all in all. Jimmy Cliff singing "bright sunshiny day" day in the grey windy drizzle was priceless! Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipine Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Friday nite was grim, I nearly slept in the pussy parlure as I couldn't face trekking home in the lashing rain! BUT overall the weather wasn't that bad, and we were blessed with a seriously glorious Sunday with insanely warm temperatures right thru the night, I was sat on flagtopia in a t shirt at sunrise which seemed very strange but totally made up for the mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cky Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Friday night was indeed very grim, sustained rain, which was heavier through the night. Will not be following JackOne in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budvar Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 A real mixed bag this year. To me it felt like each day encapsulated the conditions of a previous festival: Wednesday - HEAVY shower at annoying moment = 2005 Thursday - Rain early but generally quite decent = 2008 Friday - Will it ever stop pissing it down? = 2007 Saturday - Thank God it's stopped pissing it down = 2009 Sunday - Scorchio = 2010 (and then some!) Don't give the forecasters too hard of a time for failing to call it. I'm just pleased the "severe weather warning" (can't remember which day but it was for 12 hours of heavy rain) that out campsite stewards were warning us about never came to pass!

Lucyferrr Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I have epic sunburn right now. Sunday must have been hotter than 2010?! Factor 30 every 20 minutes plus a parasol and a hat and still I am luminous?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesiamaduck Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 A comedian at the Cabaret tent summed it up well 'to all you newbies you have experianced every extreme weather condition Glastonbury could throw at you within 3 days' Friday - Pneumonia Saturday - Trench Foot Sunday - Heat Stroke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauna Meister Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 If Glastonbury was THIS week the weather looks absolutely ideal. Sunny every day and warm, but not too hot. And no rain atall! http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robalotalob Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 This year proves what a complete waste of time analysing, debating and trying to predict what the weather will be. BBC had white cloud forecast on Friday morning! NME confirmed a 'rain free Glasto' on Wednesday. You will never accurately predict the weather, best thing to do is forget about it and get on with it.
