Woke up this morning with heavy HEAVY showers. It's now turned into a slight drizzle but it'll probably come back. Just hope it's a bit better in 6 hours when i go into the festival! Wellies and glow in the dark poncho are GO

Mate - it will sell out within seconds. We're going, Glastoweatherwatch is back, Modey and Steve P should return from a year's hiatus too.

F**k the musical acts - the dads are back in town.

Anyway - the weather. My mate called me asking if the Michael Jackson rumour was true (around midnight), and he said it was wet but only the one heavy shower. He was confident the ground would recover.

Has it got worse?

Just left site to come and pick someone up. Been raining all night/morning buts its far from being muddy due to everyone being in their tents. Started to clear up as I left an hour ago and if the forecasts are right the site should be fine once it drys up.

They were watering the paths yesterday it was so hot!

This is true. Funnels down that valley and jsut sits.

I thik they have been lucky. The ground is probabaly like a sponge cause iof the good weather next week.

metcheck are now prediciting showers for the rest of the weekend.

It won't be a patch on 2007. It reminded me of pictures of Passchendale.

My Glastos compared with this one:

Driest

2008

2000

2009

2004

2005

2007

Wettest

It won't be as bad as 2005, and certainly no 2007 IMHO. It remains to be seen if it will fall below 2004 in the wet factor.

Just got back home, and apart from rain on Thurs night and a shower that lasted for a few hours on Fri - the weather has been pretty damn good. At times it was too hot!

Above 2008 weather wise imo - and slightly below 2003.

(have to say, the dry spongey ground AFTER rain is great, but don't tell WoW I said that)

the weather forecast pretty much couldn't have been more wrong. i even got an update on friday, and that was wrong too.

the weather was fine though. it really didn;t affect the festival at all for me.

just goes to show, you really can;t predict it. especially in a smokey valley

Well other than Friday overnight and morning we did pretty good. All dried up and scorchio by Saturday morning but my favourite was yesterday. It was warm but cloudy and every so often it rained but everyone completely ignored it - it was like denial. No-one put a coat on, or moved - people even carried on sunbathing! It was like we just ignored it til it went away!

The best bit about the weather this year was that the torrential rain started just as the car pulled off site and onto the main road at 5.30 this morning!!

Perfect.

    • 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. 
    • We've reasonably predicted/wanted a bill of Blink, Avril, Good Charlotte for a while 😅    I'm surprised that Good Charlotte's UK shows in November seem to be doing well atm... obviously if they sell out those venues then they should be subheadliners right? (if they play download that is). They'd only look a strong sub if it was before Blink though I rekn.
