Link? I'm probably being stupid but I can't find it on the site?

Live on the countryfile telly program.

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

To be honest, I would take anything other than total washout from Countryfile. Given emerging trend is rain, rain, rain.

I'm clinging on to small amounts of rainfall on today's runs in hope but terrified of that low over Ireland mid festival getting any closer.

The BBC website has improved since this morning.From the images of the cloud it changed to two droplets under the cloud over night. And now it gone back to one droplet again. The difference being light rain shower and raining i think

[Messy]

Seems to me most sites have improved since last night? metcheck says rain on friday but dry otherwise, accuweather and weather.com say piddly bits of rain most days, and yr.no makes for entirely sexy viewing.

I think 'BBC weather is shit/terrible/a joke/rubbish/pathetic/unreliable etc etc' is posted on a daily basis here. I can't fathom why people are STILL looking at it...

Because it might tell us what we want to hear!

[Pink_Tequila]

The weather for the week ahead is available on YouTube. It doesn't look pretty! But still some uncertainty.

Yr.no forecasted 30+ mm of rain yesterday, nice to see such a radical change.

But the forecasts I've seen have all improved.

Can someone make a sticky at the top of the thread with all the links please?

This really would be a good idea - alongside a note saying BBC talk shit

Dear god I'm reading through the 2009 (link) and 2011 (link) threads at the equivalent points (i.e. two/three days before the festival) and they're very very similar to this one. Shows that many changes occurred over the days before the festival. What was 2009 like all?

So tense at this point - could go one of many ways I reckon.

There was rain, but all I remember is the heat.

So, quite nice. Would take that again

2009 had a thunderstorm thursday and a downpour on Sunday after Blur but other than that the weather was perfect IMHO... not too hot but plenty of sunshine and really comfortable temperatures all day.

Predicting the weather is a bit like predicting what time i'll have my head down a long drop on the Wednesday night; It could be shit (literally) or I may just be surprised and pull a miracle out the bag.

pfft I've long given up! I am a disciple of the church of Jackone and no others! (although that norwegian site is decent)

[drewsstrat]

I'm seeing some very positive changes since the first update this morning, where I was starting to get concerned over sat and Sunday.

Much better now, Thursday and Friday look most at risk of rain, but nothing terrible. Yes.... This positive energy is working ...

I've just shed a tear.

Okay, not too bad if those downpours and thunderstorms are replaced by the generally light rain forecast at the moment. I'm more worried it will be quite dull inbetween the rain spells though, which does sound like a watered down (pardon the pun) version of 2007 going from eFests. Hopefully not and there will be some warmth and sun inbetween any rain

P.S. That BBC forecast can feck right off!

Also rained Thursday

Terrible! Terribly bad luck for all involved - have had a constantly high pressure period for a couple of weeks now, but LOW settling in just as the festival begins to start. Very, very bad luck indeed.

[howlin_pete]

The forecasts don't look too bad, and even on the Netweather forums they are still talking of showers as opposed to persistent rain... but all I'm seeing are lows sitting over the UK, which to me just says rain! Feeling quite pessimistic

[Chris E]

If I remember right, aren't the recorded BBC forecasts a couple of runs behind? I seem to remember that about the weekly forecasts in particular.

That's it the site is ruined - mudbaths for everybody, The Nal was a true prophet and Woffy the AntiSun
