Where is the steady rain throughout? I can see a bit on Wednesday, a bit on Friday morning and then a bit on Sunday night.

Unless I'm reading the wrong chart incorrectly, of course. Which isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

[Langdale Wolf]

This, also the amount of rain that is showing at present is V light isnt it? I know it wasnt heavy in 1997 but we certainly had long periods of moderate rainfall???

Certainly looks like wellies and poncho throughout at this stage though...lets hope for more changes!!!

[devonhammer]

One part of me is thinking "rain would be nice, it'll be a PROPER glastonbury experience"...

Latest Met Office summary:

UK Outlook for Saturday 19 Jun 2010 to Monday 28 Jun 2010:

The coming weekend and into the beginning of the new week, it should remain largely dry for most areas of the UK, with variable cloud and sunny periods. The exception being some occasional cloud and light rain at times in the far north, and isolated light showers in eastern parts, perhaps extending to other areas for a time by mid-week. It'll feel warm in any prolonged sunshine, especially further south and west in light winds. Temperatures should be near or above normal, though cooler on northern and eastern coasts with a fresh northeasterly breeze. It may turn a little more unsettled for most parts later next week and into the weekend, mainly for the north and west, with spells of rain or showers. Temperatures remaining near or slightly above normal.

Stay positive everyone, models can and will change throughout this week, plead with that High to please stick around

Seconded - it would still be wicked but more difficult and wet *shudder*

Although, I distinctly remember Jackone telling us a few days ago that these forecasts would probably jump about a bit in the next few days so I'm not beleiving this at the moment.

I shall be weather stalking all week but refuse to beleive any news until next Monday. Probably.

[Filthy]

I remember having to find shelter from a few heavy downpours!

[Steve P]

I'd argue that some is indicated on Thursday, making 4/5 days. But it could also be that I was being a little melodramatic. Whatever, the trend is not great according to that GFS run.

I await the ensembles.

One of the biggest problems with 2007 is it had rained heavily and solidly for the month before meaning the ground was totally saturated and f**ked from the start.

Please can everyone stop swearing so blatently?

Please stop bringing up 2**7!! It's really making me sad and there's no need for this yet, no need at all!

[gibbo13]

Let's remember this is only 1 run and the others up until then had been looking more promising. Just relax and hope it goes away.

[fred quimby]

people have short memories!

[3puddings]

No! They're just "jumping about a bit" as the lord, our father JACKONE said they would....

As we are nearing the 10 day forecasts for Glasto thought this page may well be useful for all the weather watchers...

I've always found this to be the most accurate weather site on the net, and as you

can see it says it will be dry for the next 15 days.

http://www.accuweather.com/ukie/forecast-15day.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&postalcode=BA6%208AE&metric=1

Therefore you should all stop panicing.

Also, it never rains at festivals I go to. So it will be fine.

I have no idea how AccuWeather do their forecasts. They claim to use GFS data, but somehow consistently have a different forecast to everyone else. I suspect that this is based on the previous run, but I don't care, this is the forecast for me today.

[jezzer]

This lot aren't bad either:
