Lots of panic going on when perspective is needed. Jackone hasn't lowered his grading, it is still a 7 out of 10, which is still a high grading and a very good place to be at this time.

Lots of doom about storms and rain from people also, I didn't see anything local to Glastonbury, closest being Exeter, whereas the "r**n" that was meant to hit Bristol today decided to do one, thus wall to wall sunshine and about 20 degrees with the same expected here tomorrow.

Don't give up the dream now its getting closer, we all know the motto...

NO RAIN, NO MUD, NO COMPROMISE!

This thread will defo in up with over 200 pages, madness. Either people are gone soft in the head, or there is actually something in this general panic over rain. If God has a computer, and logs in as 'judas' and takes time to read some of the 'my boots have holes and my carpet is purple' type of comments he will make sure its a swamp, however if he's into The Specials and Eat Static he may well turn the oven on.

Who really knows.

update from another guy at netweather 'frostypaw'

"Kinda want to add something - the window of certainty on the ensembles has got quite large. Sometimes it's only 2-3 days, but at the moment it's almost a week for our corner of somerset

However the dates of the festival do not, as of yet, fall into this range of certainty and beyond that the models always tend to 'middling' conditions. They also run in a much more coarsely detailed fashion so rainfall amounts can seem exaggerated

So don't let a little wet at the end get you down basically, it's still very much up in the air but looking far better than.... ach *touch wood* can't bring myself to say it I've gone all superstitious this year"

i.e don't worry about the little rain as it may not happen.......guys it's looking good

It's going to be wonderful and sunny as all the rain we could possibly need seems to have fallen in Somerset this afternoon. By next week, there will be no more rain left.

With lots of positive thoughts the sun will shine on all that are there all weekend(fingers, toes and all that can be possibly crossed).

Whatever it will be great festival, have a good one.

UK Outlook for Saturday 20 Jun 2009 to Monday 29 Jun 2009:

The weather next weekend and into the following week is expected to be dominated by high pressure. This will mean plenty of dry and warm weather, particularly for central and southern areas with some good spells of sunshine. However, outbreaks of rain are likely at times for Scotland and Northern Ireland, and some showery outbreaks may extend a little further south across parts of northern England and Wales on Sunday. Temperatures will be generally near normal at first, but becoming warm, especially for central and southern areas. Thereafter, generally little change. Plenty of dry, fine and warm weather is expected, though rain or showers in the north may spread further south into some central areas over time, though dry and warm weather should last throughout across the south.

    • 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.
