Would it be ridiculous to wear a shower cap when it rains? I don't really want to have to bother with an umbrella.

could be worse than 2007 the way it's going.

[Clareno7]

It WILL NOT be worse than 2007 for loads of reasons.

The drainage has been sorted, only showers are forecast, you cannot trust the BBC online weather site, Pilton is it's only little micro-weather area, it is stuck between big hills which do something (will need a cleverer person that me to explain how this affects the weather), due to the rain in the lead up the site will be covered in Straw by the time everyone gets there, no thhunderstorms are forecasted, the site isn't that bad at the moment affter all of that rain, and I repeat, WE ARE ONLY FORECAST SHOWERS WHICH WON'T HURT, THEY WILL HELP AS THE HARD MUD WILL STAY A LITTLE BIT SQUISHY WHICH WILL HELP EVERYONE WALK, COUPLE THAT WITH ALL THE STRAW IT WILL BE FINE.

I am not apologising for shouting, I am irritated.

I reckon a repeat of 08 is on the cards, with Sunday being a real scorcher

[JennyMc]

Yahoo weather is looking quite positive if anyone wants cheering up on a puddle-related front.

In other news, I CAN'T BLOODY WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These two are quite optimistic:

DevonhammerNetweather Festival Forecast updated. Showers through to Saturday. Scorchio Sunday. These showers are light though. We are NOT looking at a washout.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said Wednesday and Thursday (June 23) will see a mixture of sunshine and showers

When the event gets under way officially on Friday (June 24), fans can expect sunny spells, “though it will be turning cloudy with some light rain through the evening”.

But in a revision of previous forecasts, Saturday will be “warm and humid” with the odd heavy shower

while Sunday will see the “best of the weekend weather”.

“It will be a warm and sunny

day

with temperatures up to 23 degrees,” the spokesperson said.

BBC News 24 update. There should now be no rain whatsoever until Wednesday morning at around 8am (who'd have guessed), when there could be showers through the morning. These will break up after midday and should leave it dry for the rest of the day. A couple of light showers on Thursday.

Sunny now at the Tor: http://www.checkitlive.com/camera/901

(the clouds are in the distance, it's the appearance of the hill which is important.

[kohoutec]

I've found my solar powered/wind up radio and the SUN is giving it a nice charge at the moment here in SW Devon, rejoice!
