I would take what metcheck are currently saying - a few drizzly showers, nothing torrential, with patches of sun. That'll do.

It's peeing it down where I live right now (I'm like just under half an hour away!)

I am not happy!

I am however wearing my flip flops today to protest against stupid rain!

Looking at the forecast for tomorrow, I'm quite glad I'm not going til Thursday. Looking a bit better for the actual weekend.

I've decided to have faith in the theory that large crowds disperse clouds. Lots of rain was prdicted at Finsbury Park on Sunday, but there was not more than a light drizzle. That was with around 40,000 people. Download will have around 100,000. Expect a tropical climate complete with coulourful drinks and palm trees.

Just had a text from someone who lives near the site and it was nailing it down :-(

[biffoire]

God wouldn't let it rain while acdc are on.

[the_hedge]

It's getting all the rain out the way so the fest will be gorgeous!!

[t8yman]

The main thing that worries me is if the ground gets too wet and then when 100'000 people hit the site it turns into a mudbath. It's no fun when it's like that and there is no where to sit down and chill out.

[biffoire]

I'm just worried about my beer taking on rain water and tasting like watered down piss.... hold on!
