That's from yesterday. And that's from Metcheck. Therefore I ignore it completely.

I know it's still early and it's certainly not a definite wash out, but I am so, so annoyed that it *looks* like it might be.

It's my last Glastonbury, and we've had positive forecasts for a while. For it all to turn to shit THIS F**KING CLOSE to the date itself is just so gutting. I wouldn't feel this bad if we had shit weather all the way through until the festival, so we at least knew what to expect. We've been teased and taunted. It's simply cruelty to sun lovers to do this to us. Again. I know what John McCarthy must have felt when his guards said 'we might let you go home next week' 2 years into his captivity, only to tell him 'ha! Only joking! Another 3 years I reckon....'

Only I don't have another 3 years. This is it. Last one. I won't be back for ages - years and years. I DEMANDED a dry one.

There's nothing I can do about it, but that doesn't stop me feeling quite sick of the prospect of yet another mudbath.

PLEASE change back. Just stay dry - just once.

End of rant. Must calm down. Must calm down.

That's not a repeat of 2007 , That's more like 2000. Some peoples memories of Glastos past seem Either shaded behind rose tinted specs , or completey bogged up with images of muddy gloom. There is a middle ground , & it looks to that that is what we will have to be happy with

BBC :

The last few Glastonbury Festivals have seen a mixture of blazing sunshine or washed-out mayhem with heavy rain causing flooded tents and slippery mud. So what will this year be like?

BBC West weatherman Richard Angwin takes a look at the prospects for this year's Glastonbury Festival.

There is mixed news as far as the latest forecast for Glastonbury 2010 is concerned. It certainly look set to be a mainly dry picture in the run-up to the event.

A little rain is possible late this evening and overnight at Worthy Farm but this will barely dampen the ground. Thereafter it will be dry over the weekend and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday should also remain dry.

Now for the bad news. Low pressure looks set to develop to the west of the UK later on Thursday. The big question is how quickly that will translate into showers across Somerset.

Currently, it looks as though Thursday will be dry but there could be some heavy showers (and brisk winds) on Friday and Saturday before pressure recovers and, hopefully, Sunday will be mainly dry.

So the advice is the usual - be prepared. Showers in late June can often be very heavy although at this stage there is nothing to suggest the torrential showers of previous years

Germany have lost to Serbia :(

However, in the spirit of the many-changing forecasts I am ignoring this 'sign' and putting it down to the wrong type of grass on the pitch. I am going to cling to the fact that the French got well and truly beaten last night, whereas the Germany game was a much closer affair - it even had a missed penalty.

This MUST mean that France (and hence Bad Weather) is in the decline and that Germany (and hence Great weather) is in the ascendency....doesn't it??

please.....

anyone.....

I've had enough of these weather forecasts (until there is a good one) and so I'd suggest everyone reverts to traditional folklore: stick a finger up your arse, if it comes out smelling of roses it will rain, if it smells of shit, the weather will be lovely.

I can see you're a girl, so I'll be kind.

The weather is only linked to France and Germany results. Not England. If England lose I'll personally stand over your tent with a watering can all weekend

Weather geeks: I'm looking at the ECM on Wetterzentrale, does the "ensemblemittel" chart show the average of the ensembles? If that's the case it's looking alright, the emsemblemittel charts show a much less deep low than the operational.

The UKMO charts out to Thursday don't look bad to me (can't see any further)

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
