M.E. was just on local TV news saying he could feel it in his bones- it's not going to rain!

He also said he might be wrong

Tor View looked good didn't it.

SHIT

As much as I'd love a scorcher I'm resigned to the fact that it will always rain, it's just how you deal with it that matters! Dancing under the spider to Craig Charles in biblical rain last year was something I'll not forget!!!

It's rained to some degree every year out of the 10 Glastonbury's I've attended for full weekend. The only time it didn't rain was 2010 when we only came on Sunday.

For a sizeable fee I will stay away this year

Everything there suggests they think there will be a storm at some point over a week period. So they put it on every day.

So just for the Nal..............

WE'RE FUCKED

Don't worry.. it'll change.. and change back again... then change back again again... several times over the next week or so.

The guy who i respect most in the weather world, Just has us down for changeable, not to hot, few thundery showers about. Just a mixed bag but nothing to dramatic and as he said you could well have a couple or three days of nice sunshine with a more over cast day and the odd shower.

Reading back it sounds like he has hedged his bets.

Ta. I'll have a look what channel number it is. I'll have to be careful looking round the 900s though, the weather forecasts on Hot Granny Action aren't the best.

Here we go! Woooooo weeeeee!

Latest GFS charts have a fucking stomper of a low smashing across us wednesday

[Swieve]

This year will be my 8th Glastonbury. I have had one properly dry festival in that time - 2010

2007 was horrendous and I would take anything but a repeat of that

Last years weather would do again

I don't mind the odd thunderstorm. Prolonged rain is worse

[guypjfreak]

has anyone done a glasto weather chart ..from the start or from a few years in ..........would be quite interesting ...

not that it would help lol

The graph goes up, the graph goes down.

top of the range old son

[Abu T Hamster]

this is my tenth the first was the wettest but i got so twatted i did not care. Use this strategy and all will be fine.

[FuzzyDunlop]

When are we getting the official forecast we get every year on here from that guy??

He has already started. Come back sunday for another one.

The outlook is... Changeable. One minute is "dry" next forecast is "washout"

I might be in a minority, but I'd take 2005 again over 2011.

[Bonedaddy]

I kind of just lobbed it in. I do intend to replace it with something better.

It's the logarithmic trend line on Excel. I chose that one because the other options end up going down below zero or up to infinity, and the moving average on Excel just looks completely stupid.

I'll try to come up with some kind of weighted average for the next one.

As each new day brings a replacement set of data, looking at historic data is purely out of curiosity it's not actually of value. Hence it's a bit erroneous to include a trendline on this type of dataset.

Anything that ruins the festival for people to that extent isn't an option for me. 2007 may have been a pisser, but people didnt get flooded out.
