When I want a simplistic outline about hill formation, ill know who to come to now.

I believe that was the question asked, why is it a problem for you that I answered it?

[Glastonlocal]

Give it up mate. You do go on.

Wow, nice comeback! Can't wait to meet you next month and hear more of your pithy witticisms.

I answered a question you said yourself you didn't know the answer to. Then you start throwing insults at me.

Who's the one with the problem?

[Glastonlocal]

You. You're boring. You are worth every insult I've offered.

[mr gumby]

You. You're boring. You are worth every insult I've offered.

Very mature.

[A Guy Called Matt]

I love reading all threads on this site - and if I find one I don't like I don't read it. If I see a comment I don't like I stop reading it.

Never see any point in being rude, using bad language or replying to things that I might not like.

Just ignore them and move on.

Where there is humour just take it as humour!

Sunday morning preaching over.

Bye bye all.

2009 we had a lovely shower and a bit of thunder, it made sure the festival wasn't dusty... it was lovely plus thunder at glastonbury is epic! It hit the site!!!!

I got a theory that it was Michael Jackson being taken to heaven

Pretty sure Jacko would have gone to the other place...

Bloody hell - the weather girls are fighting!

I thought this was one of the few threads above such pettiness

Let's talk about some sexy weather charts or something.

Temps above average, rainfall below average. Everything else I do not understand but I'm happy with that!

Temperatures below average I can cope with and wrap up warm. Just don't want any rain!!!

might be useful to see if we are Due a bad one.... was posted by William of Walworth, on 18 Apr 2013 - 9:32 PM, said:

My Glastonbury Festival Weather History from the beginning of time until now :

1984 : Warm and sunny, predominantly. Fairly vague memories mind!

1985 : Failed to go. On my finals at uni. Mates went though, and their truck got bogged down axle deep in the mud. First proper large scale true Glasto mudbath. Full on Mudbath I, in fact.

Horror stories put me off going back until ......

1994! Yes I know. Idiot that I was ...

But yes, I was an idiot, because of the years 1986-1987, 1989-1990 and 1992-1993 [1988 and 1991 were fallow], the predominant theme was HOT AND SUNNY with only temporary 2011 like exceptions for bits of them.

1989 (mega heatwave), 1992, 1993 were especially rain and mud free and sun dominated I understand.

So back I go again :

1994 : Warm and sunny, mostly.

1995 : Hot and sunny, with the partly cloudy exception of Sunday morning.

[1996 : Fallow]

1997 : Full on Mudbath II

1998 : Full on Mudbath III

1999 : Dry. DRY and then some more DRY. Mostly cloudy, not much sun, not all that warm, a couple of hours of light but persistant rain on Sunday morning. But you could SIT DOWN!

2000 : Crazy party year, many zillions of fencejumpers and mad fuckers and dodgy sorts and all night parties. Me : Continuously wrecked, chaining the weed and necking the beer n cider all day every day. Can't remember much other than it DIDN'T RAIN (except very early on for a shortish while), plenty of sun, pleasantly warm ...

[2001 : Glasto sorts itself out fallow year. Superfence built ahead of 2002]

2002 : No rain lots of sun. Warm.

2003 : No rain, lots of sun. Hotter.

2004 : Mixed. Very windy and plenty of showers on arrival on Wednesday, similar Thursday, weirdly warm and sunny on Friday, then quite a lot of on/off showers, some heavy, on Saturday and Sunday, but no really bad mudbath. Friday apart, no significant sun/warmth, but mud levels were polite to us.

2005. Wednesday to Thursday night : Very hot and sunny. Thursday night : Several hour serious downpour with floods. Friday and Saturday : Site recovering, but no more rain, getting warmer/sunnier again.. Sunday : Properly hot and sunny again and mud mostly gone.

[2006 : Fallow year]

2007 : Full on Mudbath IV to the max. Vile in every respect. My worst Glastonbury ever. Strangely enough, my true online Glastonbury weather obsessions began after this! For some unaccountable reason ...

2008 : Pleasantly dry and mostly sunny, not stupidly hot though.

2009 : A bit of rain and slight mud early on, but similar to 2008 overall.

2010 : Wall to wall sunshine and increasingly hot as the fest went on.

2011 : You all remember. Mixture of sun and mud depending which day you mean ... but not excessively muddy even on Friday night/Saturday morning.

Lovely and sunny and getting hot again on Sunday.

[2012 : Fallow year]

2013 : Fine and dandy Weds, Rainy Thursday... then????

So, apart from the 97-98 back to back mudbath, which was perhaps anomalous, it looks like you can expect it to be really bad once every 10 years or so?

titillating report from bbc weather today...

Monday 9 June—Sunday 29 June A new season, but similar weather...

As we progress through June, the changeable theme to our weather is considered the most likely story, meaning a continuation of bright or sunny spells interspersed with showers or longer spells of rain, with temperatures generally close to the seasonal average. Towards the end of the month however, there are some hints beginning to emerge from the computer models, that more settled conditions may start to take hold.
