WHAY WAS IT NOT THIS WEEKEND!!!????

BECAUSE IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE FINE NEXT WEEKEND!

Seriously, I haven't seen a single report in the last week - ECM or GFS - that indicates anything other than the proverbial 'enough to keep the dust down', which, my friends is a very very good thing. Things may change over the next few days, but it's not looking that way.

If the Accuweather forecast is any good, then this year could have the most ideal weather for a festival:

Cloudy (yes, cloudy!)

Warm

No f*cking rain

I like the sun, but if it was over 25C every day, it makes it all a little bit tougher. Scorchio is certainly better than a mudbath, but very high temperatures brings its own set of problems.

I don't think I'm alone on this opinion...anyone else with me?

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).

It is possible that JackONE is actually an advanced cosmological mystic, who is actually charting out all the possible different alternate timelines- in one the weather is fantastic and we all have a great time, in another the weather is merely reasonable, in another it rains every day and sinks in a quagmire of mud. In which case we can but hope we don't end up in the darkest timeline...

Agreed, of the years I've been 2007 was the worst for weather, 2010 2nd worst for me. No sleep, dehydration, missed so much in the afternoon

You're jinxing us! You're like the person who says "cheer up, it will never happen" and then when it does happen, is NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! ;)

I actually quite like wearing a coat, as I can get away with not carrying a bag around if I don't mind getting a few from the bar.

Has anyone noticed that 3 days ago there was panic and depression as forecasts showed that Weds/Thurs might have a bit of wet stuff.

Now pretty much all forecasts show Weds/Thurs are dry!

So whatever it says for Fri to Sun I think it is best ignored.

There was one GFS operational run that suggested quite a bit of rain but as pointed out at the time this was a massive outlier, other than that the forests have been pretty consistent.

Also very remincent of 2002/3 when the weather all week was warm without being oppressively hot, with the odd light shower, thus is exactly how the forcast is currently looking.

I think 2003 was the best weather I've experienced at Glastonbury. Preferred it to 2010 simply because it wasn't ridiculously hot - it was just very nice.

2002 was good too, although I have vague memories of it being seriously cold at night that year.

One thing I have noticed is that the weather is never shit on the Monday after the festival. I've never had to pack up my stuff in the rain. Even in 2007 the sun came out on Monday, just to take the piss.

    • 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. 
    • We've reasonably predicted/wanted a bill of Blink, Avril, Good Charlotte for a while 😅    I'm surprised that Good Charlotte's UK shows in November seem to be doing well atm... obviously if they sell out those venues then they should be subheadliners right? (if they play download that is). They'd only look a strong sub if it was before Blink though I rekn.
