If after all this perfect weather we've had for the past week or two, and all the favourable weather forecasts, it ends up being rainy every day, I will be weeping and ending the weather thread with this:

I know what you mean I get uneasier with every day of good weather we have. Would love a bit of rain in the next few days to stop me thinking negatively.

What was last years rating at this stage? I quite liked last years weather, despite the bit of rain :)

I thought last year was similiarly cagey/up and down predictions predictions thoughout with an indication of the thursday rain but otherwise decentish coming around the beginning of the week? Could be remembering incorrectly though.

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but J10 said this earlier

"Haven't really gone into that much detail on temps, as given the model uncertainty there is little point, but if GFS is correct today, temps are set to be around 26c next Wednesday in the Glasto area."

Not surprising, as this is what Metcheck is saying and they use GFS.

It was a 5 this time last year, with the same issues of the charts contradicting each other (as I read it, and I am a total weather chart reading novice). So pertty much what todays blog said

Oh I knew this would happen. Friday and Saturday now taken a dip and showing a chance of rain on my app. Fridays risk looking early morning , so can cope there.

Saturday however looks most possibility , and there's even a lightening icon at the very time metallica take the stage... Temperatures respectable and there looks to be sun in mix so not a total downturn

I'm remaining optimistic for now. Rain was forecast for this afternoon up north, instead I was sunbathing and sat outside having tea at half 7 in shorts and t-shirt.

If the sun shines, or it just remains dry...bonus! That said I may be checking every weather forecast I can find and praying to the wonderful weather gods ha!

Jackone (or 10) basicaally doesn't have a clue at this stage (or arguably at any stage). You'd be better off consulting my Auntie Fanny's seaweed (which incidentally is bone dry at the moment).

I was going to make a joke but my internal censor kicked in

Seaweed is often used as a natural weather forecaster. Kelp, for example, shrivels and feels dry in fine weather, but swells and becomes damp if rain is in the air.

I think my sterling work as a sun talisman will continue. I've never been rained on during a headliner at a festival, and I've done Reading 2010-2013 and Glastonbury 2013. NOW BOW DOWN TO ME.

Seriously, though, this is looking roughly the same as last year to me. Which is great :).

Change for the slightly better with me. Friday could well be dry with cloud cover, Saturday morning is now rain risk of up to 0.06inch but then improving. There seems to be a bit of wind too up to 15mph

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
