Thursday isn't looking great: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2648559

That said it's not that reliable this far in advance (at least that's what I'm telling myself).

I really didn't want to have to buy wellies (have DMs but they are white so asking to be ruined) but I think it might be worth the bother afterall.

Jackone did predict the front that caused Thursdays rain on the Saturday before the festival last year but the amount of rainfall was higher than predicted.

It always is! Were fucked.

White DMs that aren't scuffed *are* ruined. Take them down to the festival, that'll sort them out. I can't think of anything better for 5 days in mild mud than a broken in pair of docs!

Get yourself down to Oswald Bailey, they have some really sturdy Dunlops for £12.99.

I'm seeing improvement from this morning even.. I will hold fire though until this evening on my positive forecast (after countryfiles effort)

Apart from in 2010. I know it's going to be alright when you say it's going to be quite bad. I'm now automatically adjusting in my head everything you say to the point where your posts have been the most optimistic this morning.

You're seeing an improvement?! Latest GFS chart looks worse than the previous one in my opinion...

Which charts? ECM?

I didn't think it'd come down to nailbiter but it looks like it will!

Both ECM and GFS seem to have flattened out the synoptics a bit, sure you're seeing the same. It did seem an overly dramatic turnaround when it first showed up - we're like the reverse of the snow chasers in winter watching it fade away but happy about it

Hope this is true for uk weather

Yep its that time unfortunately.

Start thinking about good rain gear. We're all going to need it. Festie is falling exactly at the time high pressure turns to low pressure. An absolute disaster.

Jackone can predict all he wants but we all know this pressure change means periods of unpredictable showers but guaranteed extended rain all week.

I think we might be f***ed

Just makes me wish weather.gov covered the UK.

Nice dose of realism.

"No one fucking knows".

I need to accept this and stop refreshing.

Fairly happy with that.

The sites are beginning to converge around 10mm. It's not ideal, but it's really not that bad, especially on a dry site.

[General Lee]

To be fair at least if it rains I'll get to wear my hunters

Wear them anyway. I swear there were people wearing them in 2010. Complete with denim shorts, strings of flowers in their hair etc...

Sure. I see people wearing them in central London for some reason

Is that per day or over all five days?

There isn't a single word in that sentence I understand!

[whisty]

Only problem I have is which pair of sunglasses to take.

Over all five days.

It's better that way - then my public musings can't get folks hopes up or down but I'm too excited not to blather with other weather freaks
