Are these totally unreliable ?

Here are the non-official figures from last year the Met Office have not released theirs yet.

Figures from Yeovil and here if you want to have a look:

Yeovil Weather Data

Wednesday June 26

00 mm

Thursday June 27

6.8 mm

Friday June 28

00 mm

Saturday June 29

00 mm

Sunday June 30

00 mm

6.8MM??!?!?!?!!? I'm selling my ticket!

[PollyPeach]

I do think there is still hope isn't there as there is some disagreement in terms of the rainfall - accuweather for example. It does feel like it might not be as bad as they say. Doesn't it? Doesn't it??*

[swede]

People who say "man up" etc can piss right off, frankly.

Man the fuck up !

[Trebor]

Piss right off!

Yes. 97% humidity?!

Unfortunately The Met Office/Beeb is the most reliable and theyre predicting....... well....... the worst weather since 2007.

Top one is the 'wrong Pilton' as far as I'm aware. Accuweather I'm not so sure but seeing as the forecast for Shepton Mallet is shite I'd imagine it's the same case there too.

Netweather is wrong Pilton.

I am just going to sit in my tent and look at the TV coverage on my phone

[Porcelina]

Does anyone know roughly how much fell on the Friday in 2011, as a closer point of comparison?

[worthyraver]

6.8MM??!?!?!?!!? I'm selling my ticket!

Data is from last last for a comparison.

So much more than 6.8 mm and the site can not recover.

This doesnt look that bad apart from Friday morning?

[pedmills]

Unfortunately, there has been a major deterioration in the forecasts today. The average has now leapt up to just around 19mm.

Almost all sites are now forecasting a dry Wednesday and Thursday but heavy rain on the Friday. The amount of rain predicted for Saturday and Sunday varies quite a bit.

If I have time I might update these later day. If not, then consider 19mm the final average. Some people have suggested 20mm of rain was what we saw last year, so if that's the case then this year doesn't look so bad. Either way expect some mud.

[Toffee Crisp]

Hold on to your hats, Friday is going to be a soggy wet blast!

Sterling work Pedmills, even if it isn't what anyone wants to hear!

Might save me packing the flip flops...

That 1.4mm prediction from FestiWeather is heroic. I love you FestiWeather.

You know, I could still live with that.

Duckcast still says 0.5mm

Duckcast still says 0.5mm

Question for you, are you really a duck?

[Samhodson95]

really dont wanna take my wellies.. rooting for my dubbed up doc martens... keep looking here and thinking i need wellies .. anyone else the same?

[frostypaw]

I HATE walking around in wellies. My feet do be killing me and that bloody mud is a killer. I so wanted just to have a mud free Glastonbury as it is so much easier to get around.

Man the fuck up and improve your footwear then!

There's lots of options from different wellies to insoles to walking boots and gaiters - choose your weapon and get on with it!

I don't mean to be harsh but I assume the girls will be sensible enough to not wear high heels but move to more comfortable footwear, do likewise - good insoles, thick socks. cozy.

You need wellies, or good walking boots at least.

Interesting, but apparently more than 10mm fell last year and the site was fine by mid-afternoon on Friday. I guess the risk of further rain on Saturday is what will do the site in.

At least my tinnies will remain cool
