I'm not bringing Wellies. They wont fit on my carry on luggage on the flight anyway. That is my contribution to ensuring there is no rain for the duration of the festival :) :) Of course I will have to make sure I keep some spare cash in case there is a downpour and I need to buy some over there. :)

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.

That might change this year, the models are currently showing a breakdown in pressure with a band of heavy rain move if over on Monday afternoon. :)

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.

When?? It was fucking shit when I woke up in a breached tent full of water and had to pack up and wait for the coach in the rain.

In 2011 it was hot and oppressive on the Monday morning and I'm fairly sure that by the late afternoon / evening the heavens had opened again a la the Friday night.

2007? I don't recall the sun being out when we packed up at all.

Yes, I definitely remember it getting very sunny - possibly around middayish?

Ah, I think we had left in disgust by then.....

Id ignore all forecasts until the day before it opens.....weather can change and anything longrange or even close range can be just guesswork......best not to stress over guesswork :P

I keep saying ignore it whilst checking this thread and weather forecasts at least once an hour. :D

You must have left a lot earlier than me - it was lovely in the afternoon. Sunday night was bloody awful though. I don't know how long that continued into Monday morning - I had no reason to get up early :)

Yes, I think that's the closest we've come to getting wet while packing up. We left at about midday after it became clear that the weather was going downhill.

Yeah, it's probably the thing that worries me most about the current forecast.

2007? I don't remember the sun shining at all in the 12 hours we were stuck in the sodding car park on the Monday.

I remember packing my tent up in the mud and rain Monday morning then standing in the bus queue for several hours in the cold rain with water almost knee deep down by the bus queues- they even started handing out blankets. I had a cold by the time I got home- a low point!

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
