Quick weather question...

If the weather pans out as the BBC/metcheck are predicting - i.e. light showers each day with up to a few mm of rain on some days, how will that compare to previous years?

I know there was something like 800mm of rain in the floods of 2005 but I'm not sure how it would compare to an awful year like 2007 which just drizzled all week.

2005 months worth of rain thurs night fri morning

2007 Torrential rain varying between drizzle at best and horizontal heavy downpours. Called it day Sunday night when my mate actually fall into a ditch and went fully under the mud for a few 2nds!

2011 Forecast nowhere near as bad. Chill out and enjoy. This thread has been epic! Off to pilton cya all soon!

To quote a previous poster, this thread this year has been truly epic!

The ups and downs over the past few weeks have tested the best of us, but we're nearly there and at this stage it's looking like an '08 or '09 so I'll take that.

Having packed for every eventuality of weather I'm sure to have forgotten something, but I'm sure it won't be important so won't let it worry me.

Time to check out and head off, spending the night at friends nearer the site tonight ready for an early start in the morning. All the best to one and all and have a great festival!

Got lots of mates in camper van fields..Hardly any mud to report of..The hill of death for example has virtually nothing...Obviously it will be worse in the main sight but things are definitely looking up...

Very occasional showers predicted rest of week - these won't amount to much....It is going to be fine...We have won guys... B)

    • Muse will be about but the issue with Muse is that they’ll have the pick of doing IOW, BST, Glasto, R&L or big parks/stadiums.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
