So cloudy Wednesday, raining Thursday, raining and cold Friday with extra heavy rain from time to time, rainy and cold Saturday and rainy and cold on Sunday.

Great!

All the nice weather we've had recently...typical. Friday looks like a write-off!

J10 was pretty much spot on.

We could have had it this weekend just gone or the weekend before and experienced no rain!

As it is, it looks a bit shite. It's a shame but a great time shall still be had

FUCK OFF NAL... o wait

Light drizzle Thursday, 40% chance of rain throughout the day on Friday (which means it could be on and off and it's not THAT cold.

Notably more positive than what he's offered up today...

[Glastonlocal]

Glad I ordered that polish army poncho.

[GlastoSimon]

Wouldn't really be arsed if there was some HP coming over at some point, perhaps the Saturday and Sunday - but dull weather can do one. Would much rather have some rain followed by lots of warmth and sun than a consistent drizzle throughout.

Don't believe the hype... yesterday they say one thing then today another. If they were wrong about Thursday yesterday they are wrong about Friday today etc.. etc...

16 degrees C on Friday is not cold.

40% chance of means 60% chance of not (still trying to be positive)

[Glastonlocal]

Yeah but its small variations on a theme.

And this year's theme is mud and showers.

[Alcatraz]

Are most models saying Thursday will be dry now?

Yeah but more likely to rain for the last 3 days now instead

[Yesiamaduck]

Are most models saying Thursday will be dry now?

Yes, well the will be MINIMAL rainfall, like 0.1mm per shower and only 2 are forecasted.

[Glastonlocal]

16 degrees in the pissing rain is cold

[CaravanMan]

Accuweather's forecast for Pilton looks pretty decent, I'll optimistically stick to that for the time being

[rpfranks]

As long as it's not pissing down when we're setting up on Wednesday and sitting around in the day on Thursday then I'm not really bothered about the rest of the weekend. There's nothing worse than putting a tent up in the rain and it completely ruins the atmosphere when it starts pissing down on the weds and thurs.

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

majority of sites I'm seeing are saying Thursday is dry. Where's all this 'rain on thursday' lark coming from?

[GlastoSimon]

We're all fecked, essentially.

I'm just hoping for decent weather on Wednesday to set up and enjoy the first day, maybe even a small break of sun. After that, anything else remotely positive is a bonus.

[denwyn]

Been out this afternoon to buy wellies and waterproof clothing, I really hope its not going tobe as bad as I keep reading

. No matter what people say I cant stand wet Glastonburys, never enjoyed one yet. Some seem to enjoy it but not me. Bloody weather always seems to chage for worse for Glastonbury. Grrrrrrr

[Mr Ploppy]

okay... lets get things into perspective!

regardless of how the weather may change from now to Friday (and I doubt it will as things are certainly on the change unfortunately)... there are other things to consider.

Wellies and the panic about how dry you can keep your welsh oggie are all well and good, but have a think about what the techies, mixers, sounds guys and every other important member of 'crew' or 'staff' are thinking right now.

As long as the festival and all those complicated attractions and stages can keep the bands running to time and safely so - THATS what is important.

Friday looks (cover your ears) to be a raindrop peltdown... but as long as the stages, crew and bands can handle it and continue then thats something to keep in mind and respect.

'F' the weather, lets all just have a party!!!!!!!!

not too bad, just have to wear a plastic poncho and jig about
