Jesus Christ I can't take it anymore. So many changes.

It's not necessarily the rain on Friday I'm too worried about, especially if it's less than or equivalent to last years. However, it was the dull cloud/mild weather surrounding it that worried me. Something like that forecast above would be great!

i think you scientist should have been more help on the NFR NFC thread lol

have a blast old sons

Looking like the worst of the Friday rain could be in the morning, which would mean the site getting less trashed

There needs to be a break in the showers for The War on Drugs. That set is designed for sunshine

Sounds like 2009 to me, sun but not too much sun, rain but not too much rain. All in all very comfortable weather.

Word from the site via an Oxfam Steward mate of mine is that there is no rain yet and it is cool and the site is bone dry. They're all currently sitting around a campfire - nice.

Just watched the bbc weather at 5am this morning.

Mass of rain out to the west.

Commentator said 'it's got glastonbury written all over it.'

Rain Thursday, heavy rain Friday.

We're all f*****

Our first year with walking boots and gaiters. Can I ask a silly question? If it's raining heavily do we need to use the gaiters to stop water making the inside of the boots damp, or just if it gets really muddy?

[MrsRookin]

Oooh yr.no has improved significantly since I last checked.... http://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/England/Pilton~7292387/long.html

[Rockford]

If it's actually raining, you need to put waterproof trousers on over the gaiters, otherwise the rain just runs down your legs, between your legs and the gaiters and into your boots.

I learnt that one the hard way.

[Jaepwhite]

I'd take your own wellies, but it's up to your chap to sort out his own!

Nah I married him, I'm solely responsible for his glastonbury welfare this being his first time XxX

Thanks for the tip!

Now showing Saturday to be pretty wet as well....

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though maybe follows the trend of the wet weather shifting out a little bit further....

[Bluebird1927]

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

yeh same as the tabloid newspapers.

'smelly lefty idiots in glasto mudbath...but they wouldn't have it any other way'

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Don't like the rainfall amounts in last GFS run.

Looks increasingly likely we can't escape at least one band of heavy rain.

It's going to be wellies.

[Johnny Appleseed]

metchecks latest update is now heavy rain on the friday morning with a few little showers from then onwards, just depends on how much damage that first shower does as we won't have last years heat to dry it up.

I'm now at the stage where i'm hoping it stays on friday and doesn't sneak into Thursday night so at least we have Wednesday and Thursday as full non rainy days

This is starting to look like more than a six.

Another lovely morning in Shepton Mallet. Blue sky and sunshine. Rather breezy though which could be a sign of the low pressure becoming more active.

Swallows are flying lower too.

that's maybe the only forecast I've seen where there's rain predicted for Sunday

The big thing for me is the amount of rain falling. We're only predicted around 15mm-ish for the whole weekend, which on a bone dry site shouldn't be *too* bad.

I want to believe this forecast to be accurate! Time to pack and head south.

[autoinflate]

Yr.no only showing 14mm of rain for the entire festival. Not too shabby, easily soak-inable. Wellies in the bin yo.
