2013 was perfect.  I remember the DJ in the Silent Disco in The Park announcing it had stopped raining about 11PM and the atmosphere from then on in was incredible. 

2010 was a bit hot for my liking at times.  Rather that than too much rain, though. 

2013 probably my favourite year weather wise , rain stopped just in time for the festival proper. Was perfect. 

Would happily take 2010 again though.

Out of those I attended, 2015 was the best weather i've had, happily have that again, I remember me and my mate stumbling out of a DJ set at the stonebridge bar on the Thursday afternoon into the blasting sunshine after having seen off a box of festival strength cider between us and both of us falling asleep under a tree. I also recall having a nap in the sunshine during George Ezra, I love a good festival nap as you're not fully asleep but the noise and constant bass soothes you into a daze.

Only year I've ever got sunburnt was 2005, the year the site was under water in parts! 

That Sunday afternoon watching Brian Wilson at the pyramid was deadly.

Out of those listed, I only attended 2010. There is still a stain of Glastonbury coloured dust on the collar of the white shirt I wore that year. It will not budge.

My worst episode of sunburn happened on the Monday of 2015 though.

Despite having lost my supply of sun cream in the queue Tuesday night from the top of my rucksack (where it was ready in case of stupid sun in the queue in the morning), I got through the festival using the free stuff from the information points.

Of couse, come the Monday they had run out/were closed, so had to do the back to the car thing with no protection whatsoever. I was at a real low fitness wise that year and it took ages. Covered up to the best of my ability, but, despite a brimmed hat ,my neck still felt like it had been friction burned by a ships rope.

Edit: Dust. I meant dust. Not mud.

Ah the good ole' "was 2010 good or bad" debate. I've only been posting here for a year but id say I've seen it 3 times. I don't mind hot weather so id probably take it. But your tent being a sauna by 9am is not ideal if you've only gone to bed at 7.

I loved 2010. Not too hot for me. Great festival with my son. Only mistake was watching the football instead of Dr John!

2010 every. fucking. year.

Glorious weather and just about perfect. My day walking red headed other half struggled with it a couple of times but it was just an amazing festival year for me.

Bring it on...

I think that was the afternoon where we had Norah Jones, Ray Davies, Slash and someone else all in a row on the pyramid. A load of us sat up the back of the hill, we had booze and food and plenty of water, and a blanket to lie on in between acts. It was bloody brilliant. 

A lot of my friends had ran off to watch England get stuffed in the football. but not I no, made my way up the hill found a nice dry field sat down and had a good sing song..! it was a blast, to have that weather again, i can only wish.

Not coincidentally, the Sunday was the best day of the weekend, vibes wise.

Exactly. It's not that difficult really.

Loose white cotton clothing, completely the thing to go for in strong sunlight.  Saved my skin in 2010.

Sadly she can no longer come to glasto at the moment Lucy as she has other engagements she can't escape. Last year was my first alone and ticket gods permitting I'll be there for the glorious sunshine we're going to get this year too.
