For all of you checking metcheck, check this instead!:

The blue line is the metcheck forecast and all the other lines are alternative forecasts. It shows how predicting the weather far in advance is very difficult BUT general trends can be ascertained.

HOT HOT HOT SUN SUN SUN.

Weather forecasting, its a lottery.

Best way to find out what the weather is likely to do tomorrow? Look out the window at what its doing today!

Much further out then that, forget it.

"Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way... well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't!"

Case closed.

Already said it somewhere else...this lovely weather is setting us up for biblical wettenings next week I just know it! Just too good to be true and that 2nd phase of the M word will most definitly happen...I just know it! Obviously bloody well hope not and hope that from June 30th the country floods but this weather is just too nice not for it to come and bite us on our bottoms and ruin everything. We're British...nothing nice ever happens to us!

Sorry folks...meep.

I'll be honest if that latest Metcheck forecast is correct I'll take that.

I've measured rainfall for 10 years now, and I reckon we had more than 11 mm on thursday night alone in 2008 - and the mud wasn't a big issue.

And I reckon if it is going to rain a bit Thursday night is the best time for it, most people already in the Car Parks and set up, no massive concentrations of people around the stages, with a chance of the ground firming up for the rest of the weekend.

My works Flood warning forecast, based on the MO data seems to indicate a dry spell - up to Thursday, with a moderate degree of confidence, and that needs to be a bit pessimistic.

But:-

PLEASE DON'T RAIN MUCH!!!

I don't care what the weather is like today as long as this time next week a heatwave is about to begin!

This is going to be the way it is all weekend. If I am wrong you have permission to hunt me down after the festival. Kill me. Cut me up into lots of little bits, and then post it off to ITV2 customer services.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
