All stages stopped.

Not true - I was at the Glade and it did not stop!

All good

Yesterday was grim, and it fucked up all the timings (I ended up watching foster the fucking people while waiting for Interpol)

[TheNewUnion]

Yesterday had one of the heaviest downpours I've seen in ages. Huge raindrops hurtling down. Once it stopped though it warmed up pretty quickly and all in all it wasn't too bad under foot. Currently walloping it down in Frome with today's forecast for Pilton similar to yesterday. If we get lucky with the hot spells between the cloud it might hold up O.K. At the moment Sunday looks like it'll be nice.

Was it as bad as the Bono shower?

Grim is being stuck at home to the poster above :-(

Also, when it wasn't raining it was super hot. When De La Soul were on it was schorchio!

Latest from site.

Decent some cloud, very minor shower earlier but odd patches of sun.

I suppose it's time for me to get up and out! See you on the other side!

[jeffie]

And now a bit torrential. Posting in the tent.....

[TheNewUnion]

Weather reports very mixed, depends on which site I look at, just depends on where the rain falls I think. Fingers crossed.

The BBC have been accurate all the way through....They're now saying rain/light rain until the afternoon....After that light cloud and sunshine all the way through till Monday

That sounds OK, doesn't it?

Currently sunny in Shepton Mallet but there's a big mass of dark cloud over the site. I might hold off going down for an hour or so.

I have say that up to now the site has held up remarkably well with most places still accessable with walking boots.

[jeffie]

Bit of thunder around and rain/drizzle.

[The Pumpkin King]

Apart from the half an hour of massive rain yesterday it's been fine. The ground has held up remarkably well really

post- 4pm and it's sunshine/light cloud all the way through. Perfect.

BBC have been WOEFUL until it's about 2-3 hours before. Yesterday they predicted rain and showers all day - what we got was a lot of sun and an absolute shit storm. They also predicted cloudy all day Wednesday and it was an absolute scorcher

Best site has been yr.no - they predicted sun yesterday with 14mm downpour about 4pm..

[tumbles]

Another huge shower of shit overhead..and the BBC have forecasted sunshine. Clueless.

[TheNewUnion]

It's hit and miss though, isn't it. 2 miles away or could be 30 degrees or 1 mile the other way lobbing it down. West Holts was boiling about 20 minutes ago now breezy and grey. Who knows what it'll do. If this black cloud passes without incident then it's looking OK from here on in, isn't it.....

It's going to be an horrific downpour again, can't see the tor now

[Riggins]

Pissing it down. Thankfully I'm in my tent and now on the front row of the Park with nowhere to go..

[baxterboy]

Listening to kodaline while it pisses it down hard.

That sounds horrendous.

Rain is a bit shit too

[ThomThomDrum]

One thing that's fucked with my head is the wind in the valley Thw flags on site blow as if the winds are north westerly but the rain has been coming is as if the wind is north easterly or easterly Very odd
