It's obviously where that band of rain falls.. It could miss us entirely but on same scale it could hit us hard..

[Splatt]

Doesn't look good - this near to festival and forecasts not improving, arguable getting worse.

[autoinflate]

Still all to play for I reckon.

[Vinnie Chase]

no point worrying about things we can't control.

go prepared for all eventualities.

embrace whatever comes with joy and excitement.

[Splatt]

Significant amounts of rain now showing on all models. Latest run looks particularly shite for whole weekend.

As long as the car parks aren't too hideous on the Monday morning I'm not too fussed - I'm confident I'm sufficiently prepared for whatever the sky throws at us!

[Glastonlocal]

Ahhhh fuckit

[rischbrit]

I think the BBC actively want it to rain so they can show more footage of the mud..

But then again the Daily Fail will want it to be sunny so they can post pictures of young ladies in bikini tops with flowers in their hair!!!

So much negativity here. Kind of ruining the build up for me!

I still maintain it is going to be like last year. We'll get in on Wednesday, it will be fine. Thursday or Friday will have rain and weekend will be fine.

Such a cliche thing to say but it's Glastonbury! I have the most fun here regardless of the weather. If you didn't want any rain, should have gone to a festival abroad.

Total rainfall between now and the end of the festival for the GFS 18z run yesterday was showing around 40-45mm, but the ensembles this morning are showing it to be an outlier. The 00z run is showing around 20-25mm.

Yes but the latest runs show constant rain from Friday, all day every day! Enjoying it yes but it's looking grim at the moment

Oh I can't wait for the festival as much as anyone - too excited to sleep!

However facts are facts and its looking almost certain to be a wet one. I also see you've done Glasto '10 & '11, as someone who survived 1997 let me tell you the thought of anything near that scale (which doesn't look likely but anything still possible) does put fear in me :-) But whatever happens this time tomorrow all worries of weather will have gone 'cus we'll all be back on the farm!!! I CAN'T WAIT.

Yeah jyst checked mine, happy days.

Anyone know a good place to get a canoe?

[Mouseboy11]

Another bright day just over the bridge! It's going to stay dry I tell you!

[TokiDoki]

Whats an outlier if you dont mind me asking?

It means none of the other runs were quite so extreme. So there's unlikely to be that much rain. The ensembles have come out for the 00z run now and it seems to be pretty much bang on average so 20-25mm from now until Monday morning is likely.

[p.pete]

Whats an outlier if you dont mind me asking?

possible but unlikely - if you ran through time repeatedly it wouldn't happen very often.

[FuzzyDunlop]

so 20-25mm from now until Monday morning is likely.

Which isn't that much. It's not great, but it could be a lot worse

Yep, it will be muddy but not foot-deep wading type mud like in 05 and 07!

[Glastonlocal]

It might as well be tho. Its easier if its sloppy rather than sticky. I just hope thatbhe worst of it is on Friday and Saturday and Sunday are dry. If it rains every day the sitewill never dry out and its a total ballache.

Cheers Yoko, you're right!

[CaledonianGonzo]

The earlier uncertainty is turning into the wrong sort of certainty.
