Weather

I re-waterproofed my tent, waterproof trousers and rucksack at the weekend. Hopefully doing this will have been a complete waste of time

Just looked at the latest GFS model and it shows no rain for any day except (possibly) a small amount on Wednesday.

Shows 21c for Wednesday, 20c Thursday, 22c Friday, 22-23c Saturday and around 24c on the Sunday!

Sign of healthy weather forecasts for Glastonbury: the Weather thread has a 1.5 hour gap 48 hours before the festival and even *gasp* falls off the front page!

Feel we are tempting fate here...

[weaz]

No wellies for me. I believe in science and drainage (plus never having a dry fest in my last 4 attempts, i'm due one!)

Here's a photo of the sun on the Thursday in 2007, however if you look closely I think there might be a bit of rain in them clouds

Whilst waiting for the weather report on country file yesterday they were talking about the photography competition they are currently running. You should enter this snap. Its beutiful. Captures the impending doom perfectly with the flags all fluttering in the wind. Very dramatic indeed

Woop woop - knew from looking at forecasts today that it's not going to rain much but didn't realise it might be an el scorchio weekend!! Luckily lots of shade in the kids field - think we might be seeking it out. I might need me a Reni hat like the kids. Wellies and raincoats still being packed just in case along with shorts, hats and suncream. Great stuff!

Here's the 2011 Friday afternoon raincloud above West Holts during Dengue Fever (13.45 to 14.45):

[Trebor]

Christ, I was at that and I'd completely forgot that was the start of that rain

[4AssedMonkey]

That Friday rain in 2011 decided my clashes for me. As I recall it was Avalon Inn (indoors) followed by KT Tunstall (Avalon - indoors) then some Cabaret Tent (Indoors) before finally braving it for Cee Lo at West Holts. In hindsight, he wasn't worth the wrath of the weather Gods!

I had to get so annihilated to endure U2 that I didn't really notice the rain

[puppetmode]

Yes i only remember the rain at U2, not U2

[julesangel]

ha ha, we were watching Chase and Status at West Holts, I swear I never even noticed the rain!

[plainlazy44]

We went to see Radiohead up at the park that day. Standing in the rain, in a crowd far too big for the field, unable to see the stage cos we were far outside the normal park-stage-area, listening to Thom Yorke play songs nobody was there to hear. Got properly miserable, decided to give up on the headliners and instead spent the rest of the evening in the circus tent cuddled up under a blanket.

Went from my worst Glasto moment to one of my best in the space of 30 mins

The best part of U2s set was when they played David Bowie right before they came on. It was all downhill from there unfortunately

Fantastic. Just what we deserve after a two year wait. Have fun everyone, it could well be a classic :-)

'To sum up in 3 words, Dry and Warm.

It is Looking mostly Dry and settled, although perhaps not bone dry, a good amount of bright / sunny weather can be expected, and quite warm in any sunshine, perhaps very warm over the weekend. Still bring those hired wellies and a brolly just in case.'

I can't tell you how happy that paragraph makes me! Off to pack wellies and sunscreen with joy!

[alframsey]

My uncle has been on site for a few days and says the weather hasn't been bad, here's hoping for a dry festival with a decent amount of sunshine! If not I will be prepared though...

Sold!
