I took one for the team yesterday and got drenched, frozen and covered in mud at Silverstone for the MotoGP, I hope that helps appease the rain gods. I also spent 4 hours trying to get out of the place!

(don't tell them I then went and hid in the Media Centre for an hour afterwards to warm up)

With a battle of high and low pressures we need to start thinking positive. We cant let the low get the best of us and must beat the crap out of it with all the German PMA force we can muster up. BY THE POWER OF GREYSCULL!!!!!!

Some clouds = chance of rain.

[gillmacca]

Bloody AGES to go yet. Forecast is changing daily so no need to sweat it until next Tuesday. Forecast last year wasnt much better than this at this point.

Mindyew - live about an hour away from site and if it does anything like what it did yesterday its going to make 2007 look like 2010...

Wimbledon starts: new weather, please?

There's little sign of a spell of warm, sunny weather to take the nation through one of the premier, sporting events of the summer. Low pressure will again lie close by to the British Isles, with the wettest and windiest spells of weather to be found across the north and west.

Temperatures will not warrant postcards home, falling below par in southern England, south Wales, southwest Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Sunshine amounts will suffer as unseasonable, wetter spells take precedence across southwest Britain and the Midlands.

I'm laughing at clouds

So dark up above

The sun's in my heart

And I'm ready for love

[The Nal]

I need to stop reading this thread, it is seriously putting me on a downer.

I couldn't really give a toss about the line-up, but the weather has a huge impact on if I enjoy it or not. There will always be some bands you like and some you don't, but I'd rather not be watching any of them shin deep in mud with rain dripping down my neck.

A repeat of 2008 or 2009 I'd be more than happy with right now.

[eFestivals]

it don't look good does it.

[devonhammer]

Latest GFS run is out. Wet Wednesday, but dry after. Dangerously close to a low pressure, but all to play for:

[ukslim]

They're showing rain every day from now until the Thursday of the festival. Thats another 10 days of rain, on top of what we've already had. It'll be a muddy disaster if thats the case. Wednesday morning will be absolutely horrible.

[devonhammer]

[smudger]

As much as it pains me to say it but......if its looking like 2007 I'm bailing.

I'll wait until the tuesday before hand to decided but I'd rather kiss gooodbye to £200 and pay that anyway to spend 5 days wanding around looking at a sorry arse site covered in chocolate moose with my legs aching and desperate to find somehwere, anywhere, out of the rain to sit down.

There I've said it.

Yeah yeah I know you can still have a good time, playing/shagging in the mud etc but frankly I can't be arsed.

There is a "heavyrain.gif" which they are not using at the moment!
