The weather in Shepton Mallet today is .........

[Ommadawn]

I think it's highly unlikely your campsite will be flooded although it's likely to be muddy. We just haven't had the quantity of rain in the last few days for the site to flood.

Weather in Glastonbury Town today has been about an hour of heavy rain followed by an hour of persistent but not so heavy rain. Followed by a few hours of drizzle. Interspersed with dry spells and the odd glimpse of sun. So nothing like as bad as expected.

Cheers for all this folks, gives us a bit of peace of mind knowing what's actually going on down there.

Any chance somebody could keep us posted over the weekend? Hopefully most of today's load should dry out quickly like Sunday's. Could be decisive.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but a friend of mine who is on site rang another friend this evening and the phrase 'it's already a quagmire' was definitely used... So let's all do our best sun dances for the next 72 hours eh?!

Had some rain in the night but not that much. It's cloudy at the moment with the sun trying to break through. Quite breezy.

The sun has now broken through and the lawn is dry enough to cut (which I'm just off to do)

lovely, lovely...all sounding promising

Well, I'm on site right now and it's definitely not! I guess it may be down in the valley, but everything I can see from the farmhouse looks wet but still all grassy.

Just had a light shower but now blue skies and SUNSHINE

A friend of mine is onsite and she states 'It is very muddy already' :angry:

It is currently torrential rain here in Glastonbury Town. I've had to close the windows to stop the stuff drenching my keyboard. Half an hour ago the sun was shining.

its hammering down in Pilton now, the two security bods opposite are looking a bit sad under their umberellas.

John Peel camera is underwater, but don't worry someone's just spilt their cider on the lens, because it's SOOO sunny they felt like it needed to cool down or the guy passed out from heat exhaustion

pilton digger, how's that tunnel coming on?

[The Pumpkin King]

Would expect the site to have dried out by next week based on this:

[sjhande]

24 hours of dry weather'll sort it right out. Have faith.
