The forecasts don't look too bad, and even on the Netweather forums they are still talking of showers as opposed to persistent rain... but all I'm seeing are lows sitting over the UK, which to me just says rain! Feeling quite pessimistic

That video has lows in every direction at the 2.49min mark- an absolute horror show!

Then miraculously a high appears to the east, but does an instant runner. That high is our only hope- if it can somehow fight back against the low, we might stand a chance. Actually there is also a high to the south west- yet both these high's are getting pushed out by the low to the north west- if only one of them can make a stand...

Well so much for a clearly unsettled end to the week. The UKMO has suddenly realised that there is high pressure to the north and sends the low into France instead of the UK

GFS is bringing barely any significant rainfall to the UK, just a few showers here and there.

Still a lot of uncertainty even in the more reliable timeframes.

GEM is different to both at day 5

low pressure squeezing through slowly instead of the quick UKMO solution and the GFS solution where low pressure fails to reach the UK.

That's the latest post in the netweather forum. Not all doom and gloom!

Seems to me most sites have improved since last night? metcheck says rain on friday but dry otherwise, accuweather and weather.com say piddly bits of rain most days, and yr.no makes for entirely sexy viewing.

I think 'BBC weather is shit/terrible/a joke/rubbish/pathetic/unreliable etc etc' is posted on a daily basis here. I can't fathom why people are STILL looking at it...

Because it is essentially the MET office forecast so is probably the most trustworty forecast going

It isn't, half the time it's completely different to the Met forecast and by no means is the Met forecast the "most trustworthy" forecast going

I'm seeing some very positive changes since the first update this morning, where I was starting to get concerned over sat and Sunday.

Much better now, Thursday and Friday look most at risk of rain, but nothing terrible. Yes.... This positive energy is working ...

Aye, there's 700 pages of the stuff elsewhere ;)

like Filmguy said, they deviate enough that I don't think they are. Met currently reporting a 40% chance of 'light rain' on Thursday so far. Which I'm comfortable with.

The bbc website forecast is computer generated from the models are is often rubbish. Could you tell me why the met office is not the most trusted?

Forecasting the weather is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman: First you've got to check whether she's fair or stormy; both conditions are possible and changes may occur suddenly and without warning. Then see whether you need protection; as a rule, never leave home without. When you're done, you can simply toss your hat aside, safe in the knowledge that it's kept you from even worse conditions, and, more importantly, those unwanted lows.

    • 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.
