What the hell happened to the early forecast of the hottest since since.............? It was supposed to get up to 33c now it looks like not getting to 20!!!!

[Porcelina]

I want to wake up each morning to a moist, sweaty gooch after an hour of 30 degree 8am sun.

I don't even care if there's that much sweat it feels like I've just shat myself, it's all in the name of FUN.

Or did I mean SUN?

Who gives a f**k? They're interchangable.

[Spindles]

The only people that ever mentioned anything about 33C were the tabloids.

[sweet and tender hooligan]

I remember last year Billy Bragg doing a straw poll in the Left Field to see how many people complaining that it was too hot had been there in 97, 98, 05 or 07. Suprisingly not many hands went up.

If you're too hot pour a bottle of cold water over your head.

Last year one of our group sacrificed a pair of virgin Hunters. This year somebody else is taking an even more expensive pair. The rest of us will all be taking Goretex jackets which we will lug round all day every day. Hopefully this will help.

I went in all them years^.... But I still think it was too hot last year, effin sun. I hate it, bring on the night

[glasto'newbie']

There are a distinct lack of Germany based puns this year, probably the reason for the poor forecasts. The more puns the Becker the weather forcasts. The Klose we get to the festival, the more puns we need to see. Uwe know it's true. Hot enough to cook Hamburgers in the tent, on the ground sheet. To the 'rain is alright' crowd, you're a load of Jankers. Hopefully you will get sunBayern during the inevitable hot weather, I wish on you much Seimens on your face.

To any doom mongers, positive thinking is the goal, turn your Frau upside down.

If it's hot and sunny it'll be great - avoid sun stroke and party hard

If it's wet and muddy so wot? Waterproof and welly up and get on - at least it'll be memorable

Grey and drizzly would be the worst - irritating and nothing to rave or go on about until it comes round again. weather is part of the thing

[worthyraver]

With all this peace-nik talk of, "it was too hot last year", "a bit of rain does not matter", blah blah blah, look at what you done to the 00z run:

For the love of god people:

Sun = Good

Rain = Bad

Every other type of weather = bad

This is all we want to see:

[devonhammer]

JackOne: No update today

GFS: Dry Wednesday, wet Thursday

GFS Ensemble: No consistency (but that's what you expect from an ensemble this far out)

Met Office: Rain (not a true daily update yet)

TWO: Sunny Wednesday, cloudy but dry Thursday

PositiveWeather Solutions: Dry with showers

ECM: Not yet inrange

Norwegians: Notyet in range

Meteo: Not yet inrange

Note: Positive Weather Solutions is a bit of a loose cannon. They don't say how they do their forecasts and sometimes appear to do forecasts with the express intention of getting in The Express.

Everyone was messing about yesterday with this "you can just bring some wellies" nonsense. I've done too many wet years to countenance this. I would rather be at a wet Glastonbury than at home I grant you, but a dry Glastonbury is 100 times better.

Where have all these "it doesn't matter about the weather" shisters suddenly come from! We've been doing so well up until now.

I don't want to see any other comments than SCORCHIO!!

A Frauline a day keeps the rain gods at bay!

[Okky]

SCORCHIO!!

[Spindles]

I'm sure someone will find a positive image that will cheer us all up, reminding us that it is flaming june, that glastonbury weekend, statistically is one of the best of the year for weather and that ze germans are coming.

[IAmTheWaffle]

After my two previous Glastonbury's being wet ones my hat-trick one must be a dry.

WEATHER GOD I BESEECH YOU!

[glasgowpete]

Now with JackOne - not sure how I missed it

JackOne: a cool unsettled festival is the most likely, but not a complete washout

GFS: Dry Wednesday, wet Thursday

GFS Ensemble: No consistency (but that's what you expect from an ensemble this far out)

Met Office: Rain (not a true daily update yet)

TWO: Sunny Wednesday, cloudy but dry Thursday

PositiveWeather Solutions: Dry with showers

ECM: Not yet inrange

Norwegians: Notyet in range

[redmosquito]

Well aside from the bit of wet we got in 09 every Glastonbury that I've been too has been wall to wall sunshine. This year will be no exception.

I refuse to believe we are going to have a wet festival so the forecasts ARE going to change.

Netweather is a load of balls anyway!

June was apparently going to be one the best months of the summer.

Suck on my plums netweather.
