tonight is my last jackone forecast before i leave. i have heaps of clothing and sock options all good to go depending on what he says. i've even borrowed waterproof trousers.

*tippy-tap*

this is nerve-wracking.

Tonight's my last forecast viewing too- I'll have no access to internet after that as I'll be taking a crappy old phone to glastonbury to appear more rustic and less technology dependant than I actually am! Edited by Mr.Tease

Since people were listing their feelings on the weather over the last decade, I thought I'd share my feelings.

2005: started off as a scorcher but when I woke up on the Friday it was doom and gloom. As a 14 year old, it felt like the apocalypse. Just standing water everywhere. How much mm of rain fell in those few hours?

2007: dear lord, it never stopped. It's the one Glastonbury I don't remember much of, I must have blocked it out.

2008: just remember it raining on the Thursday and the rest being great.

2009: can't remember it being that bad.

2010: what a year! The weather just transcended the festival into something special. My favourite year without a doubt.

2011: it rained Friday night, was in my tent and then watched Fatboy Slim in the dance tent so hardly noticed it. Wasn't that muddy was it?

Turned beautiful on the Sunday.

2013: Wednesday was glorious, don't remember much rain.

Love the Yr. but no forecast... is there a reason we should trust it more than the others, or is it just optimism?

The excitement that it's almost glastonbury time is starting to overtake the pre glastonbury anxiety, leading to us to believing what we want to believe!

Torrential rain & thunderstorms here since 4pm today - maybe this is the low doing a quick swoop over the country & back to sunshine all the way tomorrow?

Come on jackone...

You'd better not live anywhere near glastonbury!

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
