Same amount of rain as last year but with more clouds would be perfect....last year was too hot.

[Guest blackcockerel]

There wasn't any rain last year.

so a girl asks for cloud cover and the NRNC crew grant the wish of cloud cover to hide from the blight that is the sun!

Does anyone remember there being a horrifically windy glasto? Or any other windy festival? I know Benicassim had a pretty shocking year, with what my friends described as a tornado but I dont know of any others.

I only ask as I sit in work, and it sounds like our roof is about to collapse, actually, has collapsed a little. Oh how i love Monday......

[Guest blackcockerel]

I've definitely been at windy ones but that's usually with rain and the rain is more memorable, but not in a good way obviously. I saw a min-tornado, I think in 2005, at Glasto.

[Vieuphoria]

I think it'll be a blustery one this year

Nearly got thrown off my bike earlier because of the wind, and had to pedal excessively hard to get down a hill because of a headwind. Not impressed!

But in the festival world:

I thought I remembered Reading 2009 having little tornadoes of dust, which stank of what I call Reading Grime (that horrible smell near the bins at the food court just outside the arena). Not terribly pleasant.

Oh, and this is my first contribution to this thread this year, keep up the good work team - NFR.NFC.

As far as I can remember, only vaguely memorable wind of recentish years was on the Wednesday in 2004. Most tents were able to cope with it though, only saw a few flying across fields and that's because everyone was in the process of setting up.

[Guest blackcockerel]

2007 was a little windy to begin with, it caused our gazebo to collapse. Or maybe our gazebo was just shit

[Guest blackcockerel]

Yeah it was by the Other Stage I think!

[kingjamma]

There was also a mini tornado in the Oxfam crew camping last year as my friends were working with them and showed me a video of it. Quite mental.

[guypjfreak]

im not mad after all

[4AssedMonkey]

Would it be wrong to ask for the same temperature as last year, but just a tiny bit more cloud cover every now & then?! Just a brief respite!

[4AssedMonkey]

[4AssedMonkey]

no no but it WAS bloody hot last year so a few clouds wouldn't hurt

[festival_badger]

Ah, now its bringing back memories of last year. I do love the banter!

[sweet and tender hooligan]

Jaysus what is wrong with people on here? I wonder how many of those asking for 'a bit more cloud cover' were there in 2005 and 2007. With cloud comes the possibility of precipitation. We want it even more German if at all possible. Buy a hat, buy some suncream and spend a ton of money on bottled water.

[lucyginger]

I say again, I am a ginger. I want the same weather as last year, please.

If that ain't commitment, I dunno what is.

[Guest blackcockerel]

Now the line-up is slowly turning to shit, I expect the weather will too. Sob.

[festival_badger]

OK, so the line up has a rough couple of days with the news on Stones and Bouncy, but i hardly think we should start on the weather!!

Pull yourselves together!!
