New BBC forecast:

(last updated Monday, 21 June, 1442)

High pressure will remain in place throughout the week, promising fine conditions for the bulk of the Glastonbury Festival. Until the end of the week the weather will be dry and very warm. Worthy Farm could be a bit of a dustbowl! Hammering in tent pegs and the high UV index are likely to be the main hazards. (And don't forget this is the peak of the grass pollen season.) But despite some high daytime temperatures, it will be relatively cool at night with temperatures dropping into single figures.

As temperatures rise over the weekend the risk of heavy showers and even thunderstorms will rise. Although it is not possible to say at this stage whether Pilton will be affected, it might be wise to find room in your rucksack for a waterproof and a pair of wellies.

however if it all gets too German, they do sometimes try to take over Europe.

The mud was shin deep in places, and it dried onto my legs and seeped into my boots. The dry mud set like concrete, fusing my socks to my leg hairs stronger than any Veet product could ever wish for. Thus ensued the most painful boot removal procedure I've ever had the misfortune of experiencing.

Amazing!

It really, really could happen.

Could it be a 7yr cycle thing, as 2003 was the last completely dry Glastonbury, as i recall??

Any news from JACKONE?

This has become extremley german.

To celebrate I bought a german buscuit today for me, and bought a french bread stick and gave it to a homeless person as a good omen.( although he prob doesnt realise the breadstick will bring him rain)

JACKONE has done most of his forecast. Good news, basically sunshine and some cloud (Wed eve into Thursday) but pretty much no rain until Saturday and Sunday when thundery showers might make an appearance.

I'm cautious because the swamp of 2005 happened on a forecast of thundery showers, but that was Friday morning rather than Saturday afternoon or Sunday. If worse comes to worse I can cope with a bit of m** late in the weekend.

The ensembles seem to be essentially dry all the way through with only a little wetness on Sunday. Out of the years i've been watching the models etc (05, 07, 09) this is by far the best forecast of the bunch.

    • 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
