Oh and yes I left the wellys at home....also the sleeping bag as don't think it'll be cold enough to need it and could do without the bulk. Just taking 2 easy to pack folded sheets to sleep with. One to lay over my air mat and one to lay over me....if it does get cooler I'll just put on some more clothes......up here's for thinking down there's for dancin...etc

Good luck to everyone travelling and pitching this morning - drink lots and take it easy. 

The best festival in the world, bar none, is here. Let's just take that in for a moment.

Houston, we have a problem. 

Met Office now showing thunderstorms with biiig rainfall tracking right next to the site Thursday morning. Just coming into range now. 

Looks like we have one more bullet to dodge...

 Met office have issued a weather warning for thunderstorms, currently the southern extent of the warning area is just north of Gloucester.

Not "right next to".  Somerset still looks to be in the clear.

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

This looks pretty close to me

There's a gorgeous breeze on the farm right now. Sure it'll be hotter later but right now it's glorious.

Been following this thread for a while, thank you to everyone who has been posting weather updates! I'm bringing wellies in case of the unthinkable but got quite a bit of stuff to carry and now leaning towards leaving them in the car. Got walking boots (water proof ish though wouldn't survive massive deep puddles) and an old pair of trainers with me. 

Should I leave the wellies in the boot?!

[Spindles]

You can always go grab them tomorrow if it looks like they are going to be needed (I don't think they will be).

[AbiC]

Another person who is tempted to leave the wellies in the car - arriving tomorrow though so will hopefully know a bit more then...

Morning Norwegian forecast is 2mm rain tomorrow morning, bone dry for rest of weekend.

Met Office has 50% chance light showers 7am, 10am Sat, 40% 10pm Sat night.

If we dodge the thunderstorms tomorrow, looking good.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Norwegian forecast is a thing of beauty.

Guys, just wanted to say thanks for all your efforts on this thread, been reading it constantly this week (managed to hold off before that) ... I'll be happy when obsessing over the weather ends on Monday morning! .. have a great time everyone! X 

[FloorFiller]

Holy shit it's hot. Covered myself in sun cream but stilll feel like I'm sizzling. These warnings of storms and rain can fuck off.

[devonhammer]

If there's no rain after Thursday morning, then the Norwegians win this. Nice to have no bad forecasts, but be able to get an idea of the accuracy of the models. I suspect that there'll be showers on Saturday morning which is in the Met Office and GFS forecasts, but not the more extensive showers predicted for the rest of Saturday by GFS.

If this is a washout, I'll eat my hat.
