"So some moderate frontal rainfall on Thursday with some showers expected on Friday, this is likely to give some mud perhaps Thursday evening and into Friday, but unless the showery rainfall is heavy on Friday, ground conditions should be reasonable for the weekend, and at no time is a mud bath expected, even during/after the frontal rainfall."

Take that with open arms.

Thats fine to be honest with you

He seems super confident that the wont be a mudbath so thats fine. That's all Im worried about is a boggy ground and thus far nothing I have read has suggested that. I don't mind standing in the rain at all.

I'm reasonably happy with that, just gotta hope the Thursday into Friday rain isn't too bad. I don't think it will be as bad as last year even going by forecasts at the moment, which can only be a good thing :)

Never know, it MIGHT improve tomorrow and Tuesday, particularly if the latest charts which showed the low pressure veering into France are correct.

I remember the rain starting to fall in 08 on Thursday and having to fight the urge to just go hide in my tent until it was all over and give up if it didn't stop

The scars have healed since then

And he is slightly doubting himself as he has been wrong previously. His words...

To be honest I think it just sums up the idea of trying to forecasting next week, so much uncertainty. I'm hoping (huge emphasis on hope) that those charts from earlier on which showed the low pressure missing the UK will come to fruitition tomorrow, as based on previous weather threads around Monday before the festival is when people get a real idea of what is happening.

The rain last year was constant for around 6-9 hours and it wasn't that bad by the weekend, so I'm hoping it'll be relatively okay.

After 07 it felt like the end of the world when the rain started again. I got really furious.

Then it turned out okay that year.

Aye it was a good year really, normal English weather. This extended balminess is unnatural

Haha, I remember being proper pissed off. Stayed in my tent Thursday night getting drunk and talking to my mates in the tent next door. Other half went to watch the levellers and came back soaked. Remember it stopping about midnight(?) and we sat out then

Yeah I went to watch Levs and couldn't get inside the tent they were playing (Q stage or whatever it was) got soaked. I was fearing the worst but the weekend was okay.

I had a similar reaction, fortunately my friend was filming me at the time:
