I don't think it's looking too bad right now to be honest, reading the ensambles it's looking like we should get less than 5mm rain throught the festival worst case senario seems to be we will get as much rain as last year but spread over the whole weekend.

Is it daft in not getting my fella wellies and considering not taking mine? XxX

I left mine in the car last year and wore a good pair of waterproof walking boots. If it'd had turned into a horrendous mess I'd have fetched them from the car. No need with the walking boots as they coped with the slight mess Friday morning with ease.. they are also a damn sight more comfortable on the base of your feet all day!

BBC now reporting showers Wednesday - Sunday.

so it could be no more than drizzle for an hour. I've often gone to watch Cricket at Taunton with that sort of forecast and ended up getting sunburnt..

This. You can always take waders if it gets really deep.

Yep, several forecasts have gone south as of this morning. Look forward to the absolute meltdown in this thread over the next few hours. Please remember it's still early and unpredictable, people.

From what I can see at this stage is not too bad. Leading up to next week is sun and cloud, no rain, so the ground that is already hard will not get any worse. Through Wed to Sunday we are seeing just sun , cloud and some showers, mostly on Thursday and Sunday, so not bad.

Gone south as in gone shite

Think positive. Most of the rain forcast for Glastonbury over the last month never actually arrived. I could see it looking west out of my window but it rarely actually fell on my garden. The odd shower at the festival is a boon - damps down the dust :-)

AccuWeather has it raining on every day apart from Wednesday,

Thursday - Cloudy with shower in spots (1 hour of rain, 0mm)

Friday - Clouds and sun with shower (1 hour of rain, 1mm)

Saturday - Sun and clouds with shower (1 hour of rain, 1mm)

Sunday - Cloudy with shower (1 hour of rain, 1mm)

So, it's really not looking that bad!

looking at the ensembles and models for next week, it generally looks very good - the only predicted rain is really for late sat and sunday - at this timeframe weather models always show a change in weather, either a breakdown in high pressure or a low moving on.

What keeps happening is this breakdown in high pressure keeps moving back a day or two with each run - wasn't that long ago that the start of the festival was looking damp, I'd be surprised if for the south west this didn't happen until monday or tuesday and we are left with perfect conditions - lots of sun, temps in the low 20's.

that's exactly what i have started to think too... with every run the models push the breakdown back further and further.

    • 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.
