Worth a look

I'd be delighted if we had 2013 weather, that was pretty much perfect in my book.

Agreed

Hoping there will be a bit more rain before the fesitival starts this year, just to make the ground slightly softer for putting tent pegs in....it was a nightmare last year!

The site took a pounding on the Friday and Saturday last year and seemed to deal with it OK.

But I'm really not looking for a repeat of last year.

The rain on Thursday night wasn't ideal but I agree weather was much better in 2013 than last year.

I found last year a long hard slog when walking anywhere, especially around Silver Hayes / JP / Pyramid. Which wasn't ideal for us as we were camped at the top end of Bushy Ground!

I can't get too hammered in the heat. I'd rather it be dry and 20° so I can enjoy myself properly

Agree, went to Bestival about 3 years ago and it was so hot all day I couldn't start drinking until about 8-9 at night. Such a waste.

As if THE NORTH will be sunny (according to those recent long-range forecasts) when we get rain down south for Glastonbury?

All I hope for at the moment is that the ground is sufficiently dry as a bone before festival time.

Metcheck is a random weather generator this far out, in fact much past a few days. You'll break your little heart with it I warn ya!

Too chilly on the Sunday for me to be perfect. Rest was excellent.

[Spindles]

I remember one year it was predicting wind speeds and temperatures more akin to Mercury than Somerset, I wasn't sure if it was the 300c+ temperatures or the thousand mile an hour winds that made me more concerned.

It's going to be a scorcher Mike. Bit to early to bulk buy factor 30 though isn't it?

what's this tread for if not breaking our hearts many times between now and the fest

[WS_Jack_III]

I want scenes like 2010 again.

[Mezhyp1]

Early weather predictions are a farce, who cares, give met office a check a couple days before, and be prepared for any eventuality

[WS_Jack_III]

weren't most of them wrong last year anyway. I don't recall reading that thunder storms were due.

One of our group has only done two festivals. A mid 90's one that was pretty dry and hot and 2010.

No point in worrying about it yet....

(Please don't be too hot)

[Stretlow]

Seriously, up North its been raining pretty much throughout May, give or take a few days.

I was laughing and joking saying its getting it out of the way for June but i'm starting to think we aint getting a summer.

It's absolutely tipping it down today
