WEATHER 2009 !

[TokiDoki]

Yes I agree - and realise there will be tons and tons of people still up late into the night but in my ramblings back to my tent around dawn in previous years there arent that many people up. even if it showered at 3am for a bit then it would be dry by the morning with the warm weather I reckon too - hoorah!! its all going to be okay!!

[Cooter]

Looking forward to good sunny times... see you all there..

[TokiDoki]

Yep, one more sloppy mud festival down at Worthy will be one too many for me too I suspect. We'll both hate ourselves forever if we miss a scorcher though!

[Cooter]

That's why you have to keep going, sods law says it will be a scorcher if you don't!

[scorp]

It's not too likely to rain during the night. These hot-weather kind of showers tend to build up in the heat of the day and drop their load during the afternoon and evening, before dissappearing as the sun sets. Large thunderstoms might carry on during the night but fingers crossed we won't be getting any of them!

[oafc0000]

Every run so far say its going to be lovely on Wednesday and Thursday... I think now we can be sure of that...

Friday to Monday is spin the dice it looks like... 30/30/40 between complete piss down, complete sunshine and mixed showers/sunshine...

Its looking better than 2007.... At best it will be 2008.... has potiential to be 2005.... *new drainage should hold the water this time*

Lets be honest, if getting wet and muddy is that big of a deal your probably better off not even bothering heading down to the site...

Hi People

I'm afraid I'm on the canvas with today's goings on. Not quite finished. But waiting in my corner for the next round to begin. Do I go toe to toe or just surrender? Not sure how much more I can take it.

I miss my sunny Glastos. wont someone please think of the children! Seriously, they don't like it either.

[howard the oryx]

Right, I'm gonna believe this forecast!

[derfman]

im bringing alot of newbies this year i want it to be as uplifting an experience as it was for me in 05 when i first went

now i brought a newbie along with me to 07 and hes never come back...which is a shame but understandable if ur only memory of glasto is brown

as long as we have a glorious begining and a decent enough end they should come back right?

[Pinhead]

Would be totally happy with latest BBC forecast. They do appear quite optomistic though compared to others. Really bricking it now, and so difficult to decide how to bias the packing towards one extreme or another. Tbh though, excitement rather diminished by the thought of another possible mudfest - struggling to gain the strength needed to take one on again.

[hippyhough]

I had a friend came to his first Glasto in 2007. I was a bit gutted because i didnt want him to give up and never come again. However he loved it and came back for 2008, only to complain on the thursday morning that it was a bit dusty!!!!. hes back again this year so I hope the dust gets in his eyes!!!!..

From what i can see its a mixed bag but at least the dryest part is the first few days, then if mud does come your not allready knackered from having to stand all the time so it should be more do able!

See you all tomorrow morning at 8!!!

[hippyhough]

After posting Ive just checked metcheck and I see what your all worryin about!!! Might just put my wellies in incase.. Top tip for anyone who has really good boots like I do, they may be waterproof (hell in 2007 i gaffa taped mine to wader tops and for the full festy they never leaked) BUT!!!!! If the mud comes getting to your laces every night to get them off is a nightmare!!! Slip on off wellies (no matter how uncomfortable) is the way forward...

fingers crossed guys n girls!!

I have no idea if we're going to have rain or not, and it seems the forecasters are picking the weather out of a hat.

[thestixx]

what happened to Steve Murr and his updates???? Hope your still okay Steve, not heard from you for a while?!?!?!?

[travelling mr pastry]

so like yeah um.... do we have a consensus on what the f**k the weather is actually going to be like? on the bbc page it says sunny all week, metcheck has rain most days, whats the general opinion

[Funkfarley]

it looks alright, nice and warm with the odd shower here and there. Possibility of a storm or two...

[travelling mr pastry]

welly weather?

[Funkfarley]

hopefully not but who knows....im taking mine but i dont expect to use them.

[Funkfarley]

its gorgeous here in liverpool....not a cloud in the sky. Sun all the way.

I'll bring it with me...heading to Wells this morning.

[The Jarra Wanderer]

I reckon there'll be weather of some sorts me.

[Splatt]

Well I think it is looking better this morning than yesterday evening. Fingers crossed for the continued improvement.

Edit: This is just crazy I'm not even up and checking the weather reports. It must be Glasto tomorrow

Edit again!: Just had a look at some other reports, not sure it's much better. Pack the galoches people.
