out of interest, who was that aimed at?

14 degrees is hardly cold though is it? Nothing a pair of jeans and a jumper wouldn't sort out

It'll be fine, dry from Tuesday onwards!

Max 14 during the day on Saturday. Yikes, 20 degrees down on last year!

However, I guess some thick socks for the wellies, a good thinsulate hat, warm jumper and a waterproof poncho to chuck on whenever there is a brief shower and it should be fine. As long as we don't have long periods of horizontal rain then having to stand in mud is fine as long as you keep warm (and cider does help with that). All in all if could have been far worse. Time will tell...

I've used this site before in the run up to my wedding in May and it was pretty accurate.

Oh f**k off. I see no 'nakid ladeez'. If you are offended by those pictures then I suggest you stay off the internet, never watch TV and, infact, never leave the house, else, shock horror, you might see someone advertising a product using provocative imagery.

No idea on how to read the weather charts, but from where I am the forecasts are getting better and better. Fingers crossed the site will have time to dry up a little by weds morning. Love this:

Another little article here about the weather over the coming weeks:

Not the greatest one here:

Seems that its a case of pack for all cases really, either way it will be quality

rubbish was it 34 degrees last year. and the temp is the temp in the shade, so if it says 14 then its probs more like 17 in the sun and lat year was more like 25 in the shade so suddenly that 20 degrees difference is reduced to more like 8/9 degrees.

[howlin_pete]

do you see how funny that is? freezing is not 14 degrees. and its England! we aren't a hot country!!!! isnt about 18-20 average for June? so not so far off.

[Spindles]

God, we got SO close to consistently discussing the weather.

[jezzer]

Just heading out for lunch, made sure I set the Sky + to Countryfile this evening!

I remember looking at the precipitation forecast for 2007 and being f**king gutted...chances of rain 80%, 95%, 80%..f**k I thought....this year in comparison is a walk in the park

hopefully some top sunny intervals too and should be spot on conditions

[Porcelina]

The thing to remember with the rain predictions as well is, that when they're only predicting sho**rs, they might literally be two minutes of very brief dr**zle.

Unless the prediction is above 4mm for a couple of hours, it's just down to chance as to whether there will be any r*in.

There's still 3 sleeps to go... Let's see if we can break a record!

So Countryfile tonight... 2008 was my first year and I think I could take 2008/2009 a million times over... From seeing pictures of 2007, I really don't want that...

Is 2008/9 the best we can hope for atm? Or is it looking completely dry all festival anywhere?

[Topless Skateboarding Nun]

It will be gorgeous as usual..roll on tuesday!

My first Glasto was 1985 which was really, really muddy. However, I was so young then (and wasted) that I cannot remember if 2007 was worse or not (weather-wise). However, I really enjoyed 2007 nontheless so I guess it really comes down to having a positive attitude and it will be great anyhow.

Look how attitude can change the way you enjoy a muddy Glasto:

Good Attitude:

I'm in Sports Direct now considering whether to buy some wellies or some waterproof hiking boots. What does everyone think?
