Thanks for the updates folks, REALLY grateful here

[Mr McJohnson]

Can you buy wellies on site?

Its rained heavily at times since about 9. Definately brightening up now. We're probably goingto need a few hours sun to dry it up.

[briddj]

Nothing to worry about, this was all forecast.

Imagine if the forecast from Sat had held - raining all day Monday and Wednesday. It hasn't and will not.

Very shortly the sun will be out and working with the wind at removing damage done.

Dry as a bone by Friday. Fact.

There's a lot of standing water and mud over most of the campsites. Stay at home is the best advice.

[briddj]

Doesn't matter now. It won't be by Friday.

Keep the on-site weather reports coming please.

I'm still deciding on last minute choices of footwear to get from car parks to fields later today.

Thanks.

Hi we have walking boots will the mud come over or do we need gaiters as well

[ben dover]

The gates are looking beyond repair however that is it. My advice would be to wear your wellies for getting in and have your 'summer set up' ready for inside.

That's always one of the worst places...

It won't take long to dry..Friday should be nearly all gone..

The webcam has stuck aswell so don't panic if looks bad

Met Office currently says that there will be intermittent showers until about 4ish this afternoon but then it will be completely dry (with sun-sheeeeeine) until Friday . Friday looks like a bit of a minger (although the rain, at present, is basically scheduled for U2 only) :angry: but the rest of the festival will be dry

How's that for a mixed bag?! Hopefully it should be alright by the time I get there tomorrow evening. I'd still rather be there already, though.

quite muddy on site at the moment I've heard?

Should surely dry up tomorrow with full day sun..

[Homer]

I saw the 1.30pm BBC forecast. Dryer this afternoon, no rain tomorrow. Then a high moving in on Friday bringing in high temperatures. They didn't comment on likelihood of rain, but showed a graph with rising temperatures, starting at 20 on Friday and moving up to 26 by Sunday (this was obviously general temp for whole country).

My missus just phoned to say it was a soggy nightmare securing a pitch but the rain's stopped, the sun's out and spirits are high. She's asked me to bring a couple of chairs as there's nowhere dry to park one's bottom. Not sure how I'm going to get 2 chairs, a backpack, a slab of John Smiths bitter, a sleeping bag and my crumpled clashfinder on the 3.15 out of Paddington tomorrow but I'll give it a go.

At West Holts and sitting on the field drinking cider

Some parts of the site are very muddy, others clear. Sun is out now and wind blowing. It's all good
