I like the way this thread now has an end of the world type reflection atmosphere going on.

Glasto weatherwatch! there's a blast from the past.

What's your current prediction.

Currently it would be worryingly threatening

Haha, I think when the world does end I'll be the one saying, 'you know, this has a Glastonbury weather thread type atmosphere going on'

reminiscent of 2011 but less severe. Bit rainy on Thursday/Friday, scorching hot on Sunday where I'll probably end up sunburnt.

Either way the 'at no time is a mudbath expected' line says it all for me.

Superb examaple of a Mackerel Sky over Shepton Mallet this evening (unfortunately).

Least we forget that the site was flooded for weeks before 2011 as well.

Well, he can actually forecast the weather, I used to copy stuff off the internet.

But given his recent forecasting I'd go in windmilling.

My second least favourite year because of the weather and my personal life at the time. The Friday night during U2 was terrible. Cold, wet and windy. I remember the rain going on for hours

I thought it added to the night, rain, dark, flares going off and buzzin.

Good weather related fighting technique the windmill manouver!

Annoyingly it appears like it will be raining when I pitch my tent, being a late arrival.

[Glastonlocal]

Sucker. It'll be raining all over your hats.

[stuartbert two hats]

Sucker. It'll be raining all over your hats.

I won't have them yet, I buy a fresh pair every year.

[JBarbour]

It will all change tomorrow

Yeah exactly - also a reason for my optimism this year. It would be ideal if we could get a few more hot/sunny days before it all kicks off.

Yep, I sacked the evening off halfway through U2 and called it a night. Seems sacrilegious...

Do you have a lot of hats at home? Why not bring a couple?

[Mr.Tease]

You should have gone for worthy view- ha!

I hope it's okay for your arrival- they nearly always, always get the timing and duration of rain falls wrong, so hopefully you'll get lucky and avoid a down pour

[CaledonianGonzo]

Thursday night does look pretty brutal. A site-trasher.

[Mr.Tease]

Perhaps pitch up under someone's gazebo?

2011 was basically the low point for weather. It's about as bad as five-day festival at the end of June should be. The issue is 97/98/05/07 - these were all freak weather occurrences. All unexpected, all one in a thousand or more chances. Of course, that doesn't mean they can't happen again, just they're unlikely.

But those events are scarred in our minds because we lived through them. But they are not in the minds of most weather forecasters. So even when the forecast is for 'bad weather' they basically mean 2011-level weather. 97/98/05/07 "mud bath" weather would be forecast with warnings over freak weather conditions and such.
