Ill warn you now,the country file forecast is not going to be pleasant viewing.

if you're of a nervous disposition I'd give it a miss

[ItsBadForYa]

I thought many sites were only predicting a few millimeters of rain. Where has this mud bath talk come from?

Also, with the site as dry as it is at the moment, i'm sure any wetness would get absorbed rather quickly.

Yeah, there needs to be persistent rain for any mud.

People are idiots. The current forecasts average 10mm over the whole festival. Absolutely fuck all rain, so long as the forecasts are correct!

no talk of mudbath being forecast....just discussion over what areas get badly affected when there is a mudbath.

Kava mate, you've missed so much. Its a completes disaster. Haven't you read The Nal's posts? We're talking monsoon floods. Bring your canoe son.

The 7 O clock news weather presenter certainly tee'd this up

[louise2014]

I'm watching country file for the first time in my life! I'm still remaining optimistic. Weather forecast wasn't great where I live today, clear blue skies outside.

How much is 10mm of rain if it's spread over say 3 hours?

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

Good news everyone, Jackone is currently listed as 'online' on the netweather forum so I can only assume he'll be along to lift our spirits after the inaccurate anti-glastonbury propaganda about to be spewed up by Countryfile

10mm

I don't know about you guys, but I'm rooting for this sheepdog on Countryfile right now

[chestwig]

Not looking good at all.

These showers that are forcast though. It's surely all about how heavy and how frequent?

If they are quick 10-15 minute light showers once every 3-4 hours, surely that is ok. IS that what we are looking at?

We are all fucked!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhh!

We had 10mm on thursday, over a similar time period, last year and it was enough to create some muddy patches (the park was quite bad), but they were pretty much dry the next day. It's enough to turn the grass to mud by several thousand people walking over it but not everywhere and not remotely comparable to a 'mudbath'.

Nothing worth worrying about, and it's why people are encouraged by the news that the total rainfall for the whole weekend is likely to be less than that this year.

I give in, I'm.going in my birthday suit

[Mr.Tease]

Silver Hayes and entrance to The Park spring to mind.

Also some of the circus fields- it's a shame as a lot of the wandering performers can't actually perform in muddy conditions- I always think it must be a big disappointment for them.

Most unaffected areas seem to be the greenfields

[Alcatraz]

HE'S DONE IT!!!!

[chestwig]

10mm

Yeah alright clever dick. I mean what would it look like on the ground... Would that normally cause puddles and sufficient mud?

Here we go... This is it, people...

[Mr.Tease]

It's the worsening trend people are concerned about- each day the rainfall and the number of days has been increasing

[A Guy Called Matt]

Whatever the forecast fro Thursday onwards on Countryfile it will change lots - they really are very unsure of what will happen when.

Personally I would suggest take it with a pinch of salt especially when the Thursday map is covered in rain(it will be) but they speak of showers. They do not know yet and may not until late Wednesday.

[das beaut]

10mm on very dry ground isn't so much a worry. 10mm on already wet ground is a different story
