super long weather forecast!

[dan05delaney]

we are due a rainy one this year i reckon.... weather has been nicer than average for the last couple of festivals i think....

[saratink]

No it wasnt. I went to 4 festivals last summer and it didnt rain at any of them

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

2010 was the worst Glasto I've ever been to due to that bloody sun.

tbh, weather reports are only really accurate a day or 2 before. I was working 8hrs a day in 2010 and ended up with heat-stroke, although i'd still take that over 2011's weather! Just remember to keep hydrated (and bring re-hydration sachets, they brought me back to life in 2010!)

[vardas]

All weather forecasts are a complete waste of time. Even the ones a day before the event. I have lost count of the number of times a 1 day weather forecast has been completely wrong.

Statistically, predicting that tomorrow's weather will be the same as today's is more accurate than any 'real' weather forecast.

[dan05delaney]

I'd take 2010 over quite a few others, its easier to keep spirits up and keep hydrated in a hot fest, (if you are sensible)

rather than it being 2007 wet and depressive for everyone

I'd definitely take 2010, can always find some shade if it's too hot during the day, and the warm evenings as the sun goes down are great!

Cannot believe there is talk of 'taking' 2010 weather, as if will do. It won't just do, it would be better than any of us could possibly hope for.

[abdoujaparov]

Really? where did you go and what dates? you must have been in a no rain bubble for them then!

[Matt42]

2010 weather would be perfect, wouldn't mind it at all!

NFR NFC

(although I'm scared that if it rains on the saturday rolling stones will pull out).

[caroldecker]

The weather is dragging out the winter into april, so our recent customary baking hot spring weather will occur in June.

If we got near 30c in March '11 and it rained over the festival then I would like to think that our snowy April means we'll get nice weather over the festival.

We deserve it! Weve been good! Please Santa, all I want for Glastonbury is sunshine and NFR NFC

[vardas]

*cough*

bullshit

[dessie rascal]

2010 was the best for weather. Having been to the hottest and the wettest on record there really should be no debate as far as I'm concerned!

If it doesn't rain you can park your bum anywhere,

if it doesn't rain the atmosphere is even more ridiculous,

If it doesn't rain then you will be happier than if it does! Surely!?

Much easier to get cool than to get dry!!!

(weather forecasts are in my opinion made up btw but can't help check and speculate!)

I wish everyone in attendance a great festival

[Gnomicide]

its all about the country file forcast the sunday night before.

[drewsstrat]

agreed , patience

[eoinca]

I can't understand how anyone could think 2010 was bad. It was perfect.

[Mattty]

If it's hot this year, I will have had a 100% sunshine rate at Glastonbury with 1 out of 1

[drewsstrat]

If we believe in rotational bad weather then 2013 will be a scorcher as 2012 was horrible but fallow, 2011 was mixed , 2010 was good, 2009 was mixed, 2008 ok 2007 horrible.

If we believe in global warming and extremes, then we have had our summer bring your wellies

[UEF]

I can't understand how anyone could think 2010 was bad. It was perfect.

[ICGenie]

It was like being stuck in an oven

[MEGABOWL]

2010 was brilliant. Its so much easier to get around at night when its dry whereas the atmosphere suffers in the rain.

[garokev]

21 degress, dry with sunny intervals is pretty much the perfect festival weather for me

[lofichic]

Of the Glastos I have done these are my recollections of the weather :-

2011 - It Rained

2010 - HOT NO RAIN = PERFECTION

2009 - It Rained

2008 - It Rained

2007 - It Rained A LOT !!!!

2005 - It Rained A LOT !!!!

2004 - It Rained

2003 - It Rained a bit but otherwise DEAL !

2002 - It Rained a bit but otherwise DEAL !

2000 - It Rained a bit but otherwise DEAL !

1999 - WARM & Dry - DEAL !

1998 - It Rained A LOT !!!!

1997 - It Rained A LOT !!!!

So out of the 13 I have been to, only ONE YEAR had no rain at all on any of the 5 days and that was 2010.

I'm not sure about 1999 - I don't remember rain but we may have had a few spots ???
