Accuweather has sunshine Wednesday, cloudy Thursday/Friday/Saturday and some r*in on Sunday. Highs in the low 20's and high teens.

I would definitely take that.

The BBC put the kaibosh (spelling?) on the heatwave predicted today - they reckon (London forecast at 7:30 today) that today will be nice then turn into rain/wind for a few days, Thursday and Friday the temperature will spike and we get some sun, then back to lower temps again next week.

I would take that weather outlook forecast for the fest though. Sun and lower temps please, 2010 was lovely but really fucked me over come the Saturday, I remember almost crying for joy when the breeze hit the site on Sunday!

I loved 2010, but then I took it easier as a result. My biggest expense that year was fruit smoothies. My daughter struggled by Sunday though.

I was once fucked up by heatwave weather (Phoenix 94) and got myself in a right state. Just a few weeks after my mate had done the same at Glastonbury so I should have known better. There is no worse pain than sunburnt backs of the knees and shins.

The BBC weather is the least reliable indicator outside of my nan's seaweed in the shed.

Keep the faith. Normally there has been some sort of indication of what sort of spring we've had, but it's been a sort of ambling, mixed bag which hasn't really got it's act together this year, so frankly anything could happen.

What is the seaweed's current prediction for Glastonbury?

Sadly my Nan is now dead (4 days short of her hundredth birthday) so no way of knowing. I now rely on Big dog for the best info on weather.

2010 was lovely on the Friday until I came across faint during Flo - had to be walked to the tap! After that proper had to take it easy. Sunday was great though, with the breeze!

I agree with the knees sunburnt, happened to me on the beach in Barcelona. Every step is like torture!

Yeah, until then I didn't realise that there was sunburn that could make you feel sick every time it is touched even slightly. I was young and foolish then, I'm old and foolish now (but packing suncream this year).

This is getting me seriously worried at the moment.

I'm working at Download festival next week (luckily in the ticket office with my company so ill be undercover!) so not sure that's going be a barrel of laughs either! :(

My friend went on her first camping trip today in Cornwall, they went off for dinner and came back to find one tent had flooded and the other had flown away.... they packed up what they could and headed straight home.... No options like that at glasto

I came back to to my tent having collapsed under the weight of all the rain/wind at IOW 2011. Luckily it was the Sunday evening though, so we could make a sharp exit.

I've studied all of the charts and historic trends. Here is my forecast for the week:

Tuesday: A blustery end to the day for some, with winds coming from the south-anus. Chances of vomit: low

Wednesday: A bright start with runny spells. Cloud and tents building until lunchtime. A relatively dry afternoon but with isolated ciders becoming more prolonged through the evening and overnight.

Thursday: Glorious farts and shitty intervals from the word go. Temperatures in my underpants will rise steadily to around 29 degrees by mid afternoon. Humidity high. Sweaty spells. Vomit levels: moderate to high.

Friday: a hazy start in camp, with head-fog lingering until noon for some. Ciders will become persistent through the afternoon and may give way to skittles vodka by dusk. Outside chance of chundery showers overnight, with my mate Steve looking most likely to be affected.

Saturday: dense fog early on will make drinking conditions difficult. Muggy day for Steve, but a light whinge may develop and take the edge off those temperatures. Chundery showers again developing through the evening, and early indications suggest that Steve may see the highest totals since records began.

Sunday: some uncertainty at present, but have your goggles at the ready because this may be a wet one. Torrential piss with potential for flooding in low lying urinals.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
