The forecasts remind me of 2005 when the weathermen couldn't seem to make their minds up what the weather was going to do. It was scorching on the Thursday, and then the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse turned up on Friday morning ;)

Fingers crossed though, its going to be a good 'un!

Radio Wales earlier today interviewed someone performing in the circus area - the forecaster gave her a glasto forecast and mentioned that on the whole it was ok with a few possibly heavy showers on Friday.

But the amount forecast at its worst (I don't think) is as much as fell Thursday night last year (hopefully).

It's really hit and miss at the moment - we may pick up a shower we may totally miss out.

Lets keep thinking positive.

Nothing gets me in the mood for Glasto like this tread - and yet every year it seems to be the same,

I think, when taking account of extremes of optimism and pessimism the message coming through is that it will rain at some point, and will turn muddy at some point; but then thats just Glastonbury.

The thing I found about last year was that while it was mostly frym, it was pretty cold and windy - that seems different this year. I'm about 20 mins from the site at the mo, and it is pretty muggy, has been for a couple of days.

As for mud - mixed emotions, it can be depressing, but then it also acts as a unifying common enemy and improves the spirit on site. I also always like to look at this clip which was posted on here a few years back....

Right you horrible lot. I'm off to stay at a friends for the evening before we hit the road tomorrow morning. Keep up the good work, still time for things to turn around considerably IMO. It's been emotional :(

Hi all.

I couldn't resist. Only 162 pages? A measely weather thread. Didn't we hit 250+ last year?

LW's official prediction? You're going to have a good year weather wise. There - I've said it.

Suncream is currently wrapped in my gore-tex jacket at the top of my rucksack so I'm sorted - all bases covered. Ony 2hrs 20 mins left in work, nip home, chippy, load car then off to Michaelwood Services for a kip and an early start.

Richard Angwin just been on Points West.

In relation to Worthy Farm, he said :-

Wed dry, sunny & warm.

Thu dry and warm, a bit cloudier than Wed.

Then possibility of some heavy thundery showers on Friday into Saturday, then clear for rest of the weekend. So at least Sunday looking good.

    • Hey everyone! My friend and I are heading over from Sweden to Tramlines this summer. We had our eyes on a bunch of different festivals in the UK, but since most of them sold out before we even knew if we’d be able to make the trip, we finally settled on Tramlines. Why Tramlines, you might ask? Well, because we’re absolutely crazy about British music, and finding a festival like this (where you also don’t have to camp, a huge plus) made it impossible not to buy a ticket. The fact that I’ll also get to see The Enemy after beeing a fan for 19 years didn’t hurt either.   Since the app doesn’t work over here… is the Clashfinder schedule 100% accurate? What’s the venue like, and what does the map look like? Which sides of the stages are best to stand on? How long does it take to walk between stages? What are the prices usually for food and drinks? Is it easy to get to the festival from town? And is it easy to get back into town? Is it allowed to walk around with a beer anywhere in the venue, or are there those stupid fenced-off bar areas? As you can tell, I need all kinds of info, so please share your best tips and tricks to make this the best festival experience possible.  I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance! 😃
    • A whole year of this!  What a time to be alive! This is going to be an incredible playlist.
    • Sorry matey.  Always a nightmare when you have a plan and something scuppers it.   Happy myself, fills a nice little gap for me. Lucky so far really.     I’d have preferred an alternative too to break up the 21 pilot set but shan’t complain 
    • Happy with the name, unhappy with what it did to the lineup. Now I have to choose between Florence Road and Beirut 😞 and still no alternative to 21p.
    • Odd and rare for RW indeed! I even remember reading in the past that one of the reasons for certain bands not appearing there, were similar demands being rejected. It’s weird that they play after Gorillaz and even more weird that there won’t be an alternative. All they had to do was push Pixies to later.
