this thread does make me laugh. high temperatures have been forecast for a week now, there's no doubting that. and the rain that's coming looks be be SHOWERS, albiet some thundery, but i don't think they'll last for long if they do come... i think we're on to a great, hot fest, and any mud will IMMEDIATELY be dried out due to the hot temperatures!

who's with me?

there does seem to be a bit more over-reaction than realistic assessment on here.

i am convinced by the hot temps/showers/quick drying mud scenario. seems to be the most level-headed assessment of the info we have at hand.

The weather forecast will change again tomorrow. And Thursday. And Friday. And so on.... so you can really only deal with the weather that's put in front of you. Pack for all eventualities - be stupid not to with the changeable forecasts

What this thread is missing at the moment is anyone who actually knows anything at all about weather. Where have they all gone?

Very cloudy and just starting to rain in Taunton now,weather for Wed and Thu looks ok, but rest of the week looks like we will have some very heavy downpours...Totally pissed off with the weather now. if it looks like it may be a mudbath AGAIN, i may pack up on the friday and as we only live approx 30 mins away go home for the nights, cause i don't think we could hack a mudbath.... :):):)

I have been toying with the idea of spending about £100/£150 (that I can't really afford) on a properly nice waterproof for Glasto. I have already purchased some hardcore wellies.

Now we all know how Glastonbury karma works. If I buy said jacket then we're talking Death Valley, whereas if I pack nothing but flip flops and skimpy nut-huggers it will be Amazon rainforest. There is a pretty clear ratio at work here - spend more/less rain.

Just a quick update based on the latest weather model runs (the 06hz GFS one for the weather nerds among you).... Seems that we may get something of a repeat of last year with the rainy patch this time being shifted to the Friday into Saturday. The good news though is that a) it's going to be very warm all weekend b ) it's presently forecast to clear up from Saturday mid-morning onwards. If all this IS the case then it could potentially get a bit sticky on the Friday evening and Saturday morning, but my feeling is that it will dry out even quicker than it did last year. I shall be taking sunscreen AND wellies, but you know what....

I think we're going to be mostly okay....

this was posted on anoyher forum earlier....... :)

did anyone just hear the weather on Worthy FM. I'd just got up, turned the radio on and the presenter was saying this: "....so please bring wellies. Wednesday will be the best day, with heavy rain for all of Friday and over the weekend. Please bring wellies, waterproof trousers and umbrellas. Sorry if the weather forecast has brought you down but here's a bit of Tom Jones".

Followed by "Hope Tom Jones has cheered you up after the revelation of the weather forecast. Heavy showers are forecast this afternoon followed by Wednesday brightening up, then heavy rain all day Friday".

Sounded very pessimistic, compared to the forecasts we've all been religiously following on here.

given up now, netweather, accuweather, BBC (and the Gardners), metcheck and weatherchannel all have something different so I'm going to hang my hat on pure speculation and feeling.

Wednesday will be hot and muggy, Thursday the same, will have some heavy showers and a fair bit of drizzle on Friday into Saturday and it'll be drying out by Sunday afternoon.

      2027 Stage Predictions

      By wro_lap · Posted

      Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible

      Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
