WEATHER 2009 !

[Alcatraz]

As far as I'm concerned, I'm off to Sunrise Celebration this coming weekend, also in Somerset, and starting tomorrow, with the absolutely ideal sunshiney warm conditions that are promised a mere practice run for what most of us want in a months time ...

Pray for improved forecast updates on Monday ......

When I was sitting in the sun this weekend I was actually thinking 'I hope it isn't this hot at Glastonbury', it would be a nightmare. It was literally too hot to move, never mind waking up in a tent in that heat I think I would be partially cooked. I hope that it is warm with the occasional cloudy section to cool us all off.

EEEK! - updated yesterday ...

Netweather summer forecast update

"In recent years the jetstream has generally been further south of it's usual summer location, often tracking right over the top or to the south of the UK, which has lead to some very wet spells, current indications are that this pattern may well re-occur at times this summer, particularly during June and July. This doesn't necessarily mean a repeat performance of the flooding and ongoing wet, cool spells seen during the previous 2 years, but as mentioned during the previous update, it is something we will continue to monitor.

Summer

June

With pressure expected to be higher than average to the North of the UK and lower than average to the South, the rainfall forecast for June is split accordingly, with some southern areas possibly seeing some pretty wet periods, making for a wetter than average month."

PANIC!

It won't rain. It will be sunny and very hot with the odd white fluffly cloud offering us some shade every now and then. Is that better?

Oh hell.

I know there's no point worrying about the weather this far in advance and I know there's nowt anyone can do about it if it does lash down for 5 days solid, but I'm losing the will to live here

I just can't do another rain and mud soaked Glastonbury. The thought of trudging through knee deep mud trying to get from one stage to another is making me wanna vom. Plus I have 10 newbies coming with me this year and I'll never be forgiven if we get rain great enough for a Noah's Ark re-enactment.

Please, please, pretty please to any god/prophet/religious icon who wants to listen - don't let it be a wash out.

Please!

Nope, its just another mixed message considering we have forecasts like this

Tis still too far away to be worried

[krispy]

Positive mental attitude people - it will be dry!!! All I am asking for - can cope with cold or cloudy - JUST NO RAIN x

[firstglasto]

I don't really mind either way i hope for sunshine but if not i'm still going to have a great time and there is nothing we can do anyway so what will be will be i'm not going to stress anymore about it. I will be bringing my wellies though.

There's something missing from this forcast, so I've updated it.

However, localised conditions over Worthy farm and the surrounding fields will be delightfully dry, sunny and warm for the entire Glastonbury festival period, due to the sheer force of will of its attendees. Result!"

If its rains this year i'm joining Al-Qaeda

Speaking as someone who was there in 97, 98, and every f**king wet year since, who missed 2008 because I couldn't take it anymore after 12 hours stuck in the car park in 2007 because of the mud. I would like to kindly ask those people who say they won't let the rain dampen their spirits or, even worse, those that seem to enjoy it, to SHUT UP.

Thankyou.

Thankyou. So are we are not allowed to voice our opinions on a public forum some of us feel like that what can you do anyway to change the weather? whats your trick to make sunny ? if it rains don't go .

[Guest blackcockerel]

If it rains I'll find you and kill you my friend.

[firstglasto]

So why have you went in the past when the forcast has been rain ?maybe you said screw it thats not going to stop me having a good time. no

[firstglasto]

If it rains I'll find you and kill you my friend.

[derfman]

thing is, after 05 wash out i convinced myself that it could never get that bad again, and then a year hiatus and then 07...wash out.

so after being convinced it could never get that bad again, im gonna go with. positive mental attitude does nothing lol

Tis pointless getting upset with each other here. This thread is a load of fun and full of people making wild predictions about the weather when it's way too far away to know, and obsessing about websites that equally have no idea really. We all know that but it's still a load of fun so just enjoy ...

There is one way to be absolutely certain of being at Glasto in a hot and sunny dustbowl, barring an extinction level event or the festival stopping. A hot & sunny Glasto will happen again. Maybe this year, maybe next, so just keep going. Never stop. Then you'll be certain to be there for the hot one.

Never give in. Never surrender.

PANIC!

[mouth]

[Guest blackcockerel]

Mate i do really do hope it is sunny i really do and maybe what i say is naive as this is my first glasto but FOR me i won't let it spoil it .

[technohead]
