The Summary:

Bring your wellies and your sunglasses, the festival itself still possibly drier than average,but pre festival rain could make ground underfoot wet and cause some mud on site, but probably without actually mud bath conditions.

I will only get interested properly when the we start to get convergence of weather forecasts

I feel we are getting close, most forecasts ares suggesting reasonably cool but no means cold, cloudy weather with the occasional shower. But not a mud bath

I would be a very happy man with that

Just no mud please

What is going on with the weather?! Just checked my Met Office App and forecast for next 5 days down here in SW has changed much for the better overnight :)

Long-predicted heavy r**n showers have gone and it's warming up though cloudy!

Next question - 'when will those clouds all disappear?'

WeatherPro (Meteogroup) is hedging their bets on averages at the moment, cloudy, 17-18C, very little (if any) rain. Would prefer to add 10C onto the temps but I'll sacrifice heat if it means it's dry.

The forecasts do seem to have perked up overnight - I'm feeling even more optimistic today. Wondering if Jackone's optimism has grown - I've felt like it's waned a bit recently. Hoping it's perked up. Is Sunday the first day of the week ... if so, it's next weeeeekk!!!!

I'm no forecaster but the overnight 00z gfs charts put a big area of low pressure over the UK for the whole festival, with a lot of rain. Although this is the op run which is a massive outlier in the ensembles.

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
