The forecasts seem to be improving. That must be a good sign.

What will I do with all my time after the festival without this thread.

[ollyrag]

I don't care any more

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

Great weather on site today, bit of rain last night but the sun was shinning bright from 10am.

Accuweather this morning merely has showers, most on Friday but there is no certainty figures yet, so perhaps its a 2009 again

Metro group have about 2 inches of rain to fall over between now and Sunday...

Would rather it falls now than next week!

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

[Glasto fan]

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'!

Improving

[gooner1990]

Is it me or does every forecast seem to be predicting something different at the moment?!

[Bathimp]

Xcweather short term forecast is now coming into view

Looking fine for next Tuesday

[spursfan77]

The iPhone met office app has rain Thursday, Friday and Saturday for Glastonbury. It's usually pretty accurate so I guess it's better if it happens this week as long as its not too heavy.

2 inches of rain would certainly put my faith in the sites drainage to the test. Would still be happy if we had a dry festival though

[elbongo]

"I trust", that's a belief system, right there. Get over to our side.....

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.

Jeffie man I've been there all along son... believe believe man... hot hot hot...

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?

NFR NFC (sorry)

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.

Take heart from the fact that on 18 June 2010 Jackone predicted 60% likelihood of a wet festival.
