I can take a bit of rain, doesn't bother me, but if it pisses down the entire weekend it makes the festival a lot less fun.

Since I made my festival comeback (after 8 years out of the game) in 2007 Reading or V I've been to has either had rain of has been suffering from flooding (Reading 07!)

Can I please have one where I'm only worrying about sunburn please!

I hope it is not like Download was this year going from sun burnt to drenched to sun burnt to swimming to the arena on Sunday.

Leeds will be a bit nasty for putting up tents http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/18?area=Wetherby

Reading may also get wet http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/2818?&search=reading&itemsPerPage=10&region=world

According to that BBC weather, Reading have hail forecasted on the Wednesday night D:

I use this website for weather updates. It has been accurate since i started using it last year.

"With westerly winds set to bring a regular suppy of weather fronts across the UK, we can all expect some rain at times.

Typically the north and west of the British Isles will catch most of the rain, while the southeast is somewhat sunnier and warmer at times, especially during any brief ridges of high pressure.

So not a complete wash-out, and this healthy mixture of sun and rain should keep harvesters and holidaymakers reasonably content."

I'll take that, I don't mind it being a bit chilly through the day, means you don't have to hot foot it back to the tent for some warmer clothes in the evening.

Heavy rain and wind forcast for next wednesday in Leeds, should make setting a tent up good fun!

I always find the met office site to be pretty damn accurate, severe weather warning issued for Tuesday (heavy, thundery rain and local flooding) and hail for Wednesday night in Reading.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Metcheck says light rain Thursday then nice for all 3 music days at Reading.

Chances are a bit of rain at Reading but overall it should be ok.

[brettredmayne]

Leeds is getting worse,

Rain every day from Tuesday which means the site will be messed up and thundery showers Friday

Anyone local able to take a walk along the Thames towpath to see what the ground is like, I fear boggy like last year

[JBarbour]

BBC Weather keeps changing their minds. For leeds/wetherby anyway. Weather.com forecast seems a lot better. Sick of looking, just going to prepair for the worst and hope for it to be nice

Wednesday has significantly changed from the forecast yesterday, looks like the BBC don't really know what it will be like apart from rain at some stage

[weirdfish]

Yeah definitely prepare for rain, though it doesn't look as though it'll be too horrible.

[RapidAmp]

Slightly happy now that Wednesday looks clearer then it was before... Just hope the rain holds off to to put tents up

[The Mean Bean]

Leeds does not look pleasing http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/18?

It's definately gonna be a mixed bag of weather for Leeds. Best to be prepared for all weather. I think Welies willl be a must.

[The Mean Bean]

I wear wellies even when it's sunny, I'm from Lancashire!

People obviously can't forecast the weather, they need to stop pretending they can.

Id take that!

I don't mind a bit of rain but if it's constant, it will seriously put me down.

I went to see Take That in a stadium and it rained heavily the whole time I was there and it was f**king horrible, added to the fact I didn't wanna be there anyway
