I think your allowed a little dig now and again... Tis true what you say tho, in the past bad fests there has been steady bad weather up until and we have not had that.

I trust that glasto will miss the worst the next few days and then its all to play for, to early for 10 day predictions

Have just had a major rain shower here in Shepton Mallet. Absolutely chucked it down for about 5 minutes. Very grey and overcast.

If you look on BBC and Netweather the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday is looking good! Still way too early to tell though. The way the weather has been recently you won't know what it will do until the day and even then it is likely to be 'changeable'!

Morning dog walk weather report from Pilton. It did rain as Ommadawn said but it was 5 minutes only. It is currently grey but brightening, light breeze and drying rapidly. The ground is still hard and I don't see that changing without a lot of rain. As pointed out, there is a high clay content on the farm which means sticky mud that drys rapidly with a bit of wind or heat.

Last time I was on site there was a lot of compacted hardcore laid on the major tracks and I know more has been going down since judging by the wagons going into Worthy. A lot of it is for the backstage areas to keep them functioning but they had laid through the market areas towards the stone circle a few weeks ago. Even with a lot of foot traffic these tracks should stay in one piece.

I wouldn't expect 2007 conditions.

I have a question about the Countryfile forecast that everyone loves so much. Is there a Glastonbury-specific section? Or is it just a general national forecast that has proved reliable? Oh, and what time is it on?

Sundays 12:20 ish - but the weather is on later in the programme. My advice, either record it and zap through to the weather or wait for it to be on iplayer and zap through. OR wait until the forecast has been talked about on this forum! BBC is not always the most reliable forecast.

About this time before Glasto I start watching BBC South West News for local weather report - always start mentioning Glasto.

They generally can tell local conditions best.
