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.

    • My daughter had a really disappointing arrival experience at Download Festival 2026. After arriving by coach, she waited hours for transport, she was taken to the wrong place twice, then left waiting again because shuttles refused her without wristbands, even though she hadn’t been taken to the wristband point. Staff seemed unprepared and unhelpful, and the delay caused a serious pain flare-up for her and meant refrigerated medication could no longer be used. The tent is now leaking too due to someone breaking it. We’ve emailed a complaint and are asking Download to acknowledge what happened and make it right.
    • That said they're playing the festival on the Friday and need to play Manchester Psych Fest the next day.    Could they play late at night and still make it comfortably in time...hmmm
    • Any thoughts or theories on the secret set. I’m hoping for Dillinger. 
    • Unfortunately like many things the people in the country want a good defence, but don’t want to pay for it. You will then get Reform saying they will throw all the immigrants, get rid of DEI, cut the benefits of all the lazy young people and we will be rolling in money.
    • New Death Cab for Cutie album getting rave reviews, wonder if it's time for their return.
