It turned into a giant paddling pool in June '05 because the ground was rock solid. It's rained quite a lot in Glastonbury over the past week so the ground has had time to soften up and drainage is much better.

sadly, that's well off the mark.

Yes, the hard ground didn't help in 2005, but nor did the very extreme amount of rain which was the major part of what happened that year.

The ground is clay soil, which doesn't drain well at any time. However, it drains better when the ground is dry than it does when it's wet - cos when it's already wet there's nothing to soak up new rain.

And let's not forget:

As I type this, the rain forecast is:

Wednesday: 0.9mm in total over 24 hours,

Then no rain from Thursday to Saturday,

Sunday: 1.2mm between 12 & midnight.

This is not a lot of rain at all. Brief showers here and there. i.e. a dry festival.

Here's more optimism:

I follow the weather a lot here in Ireland for watersports reasons. The nearest surf spot to Glasto is Porthcawl. MagicSeaweed is the most popular surf forecasting website around - it's predicting Sun on wednesday, & then brief showers on Thursday & Friday.

Brief showers are NO big deal.

Not only that but it makes browsing this site at work extremely difficult... Please stop posting pictures of breasts everyone. Or at least put them in their own separate thread so I'll know not to open it.

Like the positive vibes. Is Porthcawl really the closest spot? Would somewhere along the North Devon coast not be closer?? not gonna argue with the sunny weather though!!!

    • Really well done, Primavera. Maybe the biggest name on the lineup as a surprise. (Ecpecially if Robert joins this)
    • There's one way it can get bigger- if Robert Smith joins her on stage
    • I see what you’ve done there.  If they stick with an electronic opener I reckon it would be someone more “radio friendly”. Rudimental, FBS etc
