[PRSBOY]

Am I the only person left on here who hasn't been proposed to?

I wouldn't hold your breath either.

[Guest]

I know it doesn't fit in with the doom and gloom but it is bloody hot here in increasingly busy Pilton and I think the dog just melted.

I wouldn't hold your breath either.

Fucking hell, please tell me you're appearing in the cabaret tent this year?

[stuartbert two hats]

I'd rather wet myself than we wetted on from above.

If we were all offered a deal that at some stage during the festival, you had to piss yourself, to guarantee a dry five days, we would all take it right?

I would. At least it would be warm at first.

[Guest]

I assume that you two have been introduced

5 o'clock Friday, I expect you at the front!

That won't get you a wife Howardg

Thank God!

I'm not going this year as i couldn't get a ticket so i sort of want it to be bad weather .It's been very dry down there recently so the ground is hard so if it does rain it will be hard for the water to penetrate the surface so you get a thin layer of mud on a hard base which makes for very slippery conditions so i'd advise walking boots with a good tread on them.

Have a good time folks!

Thought I'd share a chat I had with one of the environment agency's meteorologists today. He specialises in floods and is a complete pessimist. Aware that the EA's track record hasn't been great this year but worth a punt! His view:

- Dry all Wednesday

- Light rain Thursday evening

- Rain all Friday

- Rain Saturday morning followed by sun

- Sunday dry and bright

Here's to hoping!

Meteo group looking Ok conditions 15mm is nothing really

So considering he's a pessemist I'm going to change 'rain all friday' to 'a fairly heavy shower around 1pm and some drizzle with intermitent sun afterwards'

Cool I'll take it.

Just out curiosity, how much rain came down on the Thursday last year in terms of MM?

That wasnt so bad, made it muddy Thursday but was fine by Friday dinner

People say approx 10mm

About 10mm fell on the Thursday night last year I think.

But of course the glorious weather afterwards meant it dried up rather quickly. We won't have that this year so the ground will be very muddy unless we have some unexpected sun for a few hours.

Not sure if this has already been posted, but I think is the best to go on at the moment

[Trebor]

No, because that one is horrible.

Any scientists know whether the amount of water done away with by absorption down the way will compensate for a reduction in moisture removed by evaporation...?

Anyone 'not' taking wellies? I'm thinking about just taking my gaiters and walking boots.

[Joshuwarr]

I've gone for the no willies route before. Worked out well, especially since the bottom of mine fell off in 2011 :'(

[Joshuwarr]

omg omfg *WELLIES. Since when did my work computer have an autocorrect function!?

[Englishdragon]

For what its worth I have AcuWeather widget on my phone and they have been pretty spot on in terms of rain for the last few weeks.

Their forecast is

Wednesday: Parlty Sunny - Highs 20 / Lows 8

Thursday: Mostly Cloudy with a shower or two - Highs 21 / Lows 12

Friday: Variable cloudness with a shower - Highs 19 / Lows 10

Saturday: Mostly Cloudy with a couple of showers, chance of one being a thunderstorm - Highs 18 / lows 9

Sunday: Mostly Cloudy with a couple of showers, chance of one being a thunderstorm - Highs 18 / lows 9

Still guessing in terms on Saturday and Sunday by having the same forecast but I can take that. The odd shower doesnt bother me

Ive never taken wellies to a festival, including Leeds in 08 and 2011.

If the forecast is still showing rain I might chuck in some work boots but I generally just use my walking shoes

taken the no willies route for every glasto i've been to. Apart from my own that is.
