Weather thread 2011

[Craigston]

Thanks Ploppy ;-) I've seen some pics from the site from Saturday, and there is some mud about, but we all know it dries quick if it isn't churned up by feet. So by Wednesday it'll be a lot better. The site handles showers well these days, and there is very little chance of anything heavy and persistent. So you'll all have a blast. I'll be back in 2013, and I confidently predict that will be another scorcher.

Don't forget folks - you've got a ticket to the best party on the planet. A few showers can't spoil that.

I want to love these people, but what a bunch of tw*ts they turned out to be. Are these the sort of cu*ts I~ want to be hanging out with? It will be OK, deep breaths, deep breaths. Anybody claiming to represent Glastonbury on-line is in no way representative of Glastonbury.

I hope Metcheck have made a mistake about Friday and Saturday's wind speed!

[ukdaasfan]

Thats a very good effort! 2007 the mud was deeper wasn't it?

[Aragorn]

My only concern is the hill of death if it's wet, hopefully they just put straw on that bit.

[tinselmouse]

Must say, I am worried about rain and things as I was at Leeds in 2008 I think when it was pretty horrific it wasn't very nice that's for sure. To me I get the impression its going to be very average, nothing really hot but nothing really wet either. Im hoping nothing gets too messy on site but as I've never been before so it's hard for me to say, but we can only wait n see!

It's horrible here on the south coast.. hopefully taking it Way from the site. It's mizzle. I hate mizzle.

Could live with this!!

[gillmacca]

I think that this just about sums it up!!

...and that'd be just fine, thanks. Of course, we'd all love a r**n free 5 days and lots of sunshine, but freaks like last year don't come around very often. I think '95 was the last full-on dry and hot Glastonbury.

And 94, 93, 92 - all good weather, which goes to show that a multi-year run of dry sunny Glastonburys can happen.

Same here Ann, never warn wellies.

Got very muddy though..

Ok just ventured outside on my sticks and prodded the lawn in a purposeful manner. (my garden does not drain that well and the grass is long, and j can report it does not seen to bad. Dried up nicely yesterday I thought.

[rocks1ar]

So no rain in Pilton Yet?

1997 was my first Year at Glasto....that was bad...but also great

Been every year since and I have never seen a repeat of that.....

Come Rain or Shine it WILL be Awesome

[autoinflate]

Yep, I was there in all those years and I was also there last year. But we all know that it's not going to be completely dry + sunny + hot this year. If it's the mixed bag most forecasts suggest we're in for, then most people on this thread and at the festival will probably be happy enough. I will be. I was there in 1998, 2005 and 2007 too and it really doesn't look like it's going to be anything like those years.

[strudders]

Even if it is a bit cold and damp in the mornings.... Think of all that sleep everybody will be getting! The place will be bouncing with well rested people! Instead of half asleep bodies moaning about the sauna that was their tent!

Rain or shine I am now in festival mode and really don't care to much.

It will be a brilliant time!

Makes me laugh..as soon as they mention m*d they always put a picture of flooded tents underwater.

It will NOT be as bad as that this year! They use the phrase 'should' so heres to positive vibes!!!
