Speaking of cloud seeding / altering weather. My sister was involved in the organisation of the Olympic opening ceremony and although it was slightly above her pay grade, she is fairly confident that plans were in place if needed to ensure there was no rain.

She doesn't know however whether the good weather we had during the Olympics (fairly sure there was only 1 maybe 2 days of rain) was a result of alterations or just good luck.

Oh lord let's not go down this road. I've seen some far out conspiracy theories about this!

On a lighter note it looks like Download/IOW are going to get a bit damp - while bad for them this gives me much optimism. Sun drenched Downloads seem to accompany wet Glastonburys in my memory

2013, both festivals it only rained once at both, both times pre festival start too.

Mind you it didn't half piss it down at Download, thunder n lightning and torrential rain - the ground never managed to fully recover completely from it.

I love this thread. I come in and look at all the charts, nod to myself, say "yes this is a chart" and then go back to waiting for the next one. Thanks to all who know more about what they're talking about!

Hahahahahaha, me too wetflame!

It's only accuweather (which doesn't update every day) which is looking bad today:

Nice chart. What am I going to do for the rest of the day now?

This does look much better than yesterday though!

Gavs weather vids starting full Glasto predictions from Saturday onwards....

When we begin the regular update's for Glastonbury it will be very interesting to see whether the model is still attempting to bring us an extended spell of dry and warm weather for the Pre-Glasto period as well as the event itself.

Glastonbury update's will start on GWV events page on Saturday evening around 7pm.

    • I too am always a bit blurred on what/who constitutes a legend slot but would Sting fit that bill?  Those there said his IoW slot was v good and he has enough of a songbook imo for a Sun afternoon if he uses the Police's 1st 2 albums for a fair chunk of it      
    • Thing is, I'd have said that as well.   But then she inexplicably ended up on the Wilderness lineup and that changes everything. I reckon if that goes well, which it will, then she's very much in the picture.
    • This has probably been discussed a hundred times already on efests but what constitutes a legend? I know some of it is my age but I don't see eurithmics or Duran Duran as legend status. Neil young or nils lofgren then yes and neither of them have overly troubled the charts. Duran Duran and indeed the eurithmics I would put in the 80s category and whilst it would be ok (human league at isle of wight we're fabulous) they just arent in my mind legend status.  Zombies played same festival- i would take that. 
    • friendly tonight delayed , pitch draining pretty quick to be fair .... not sure it bodes well for other games with potential fixture backlog 
    • Never happen, but an Annie Lennox solo or Eurythmics reunion would make me very happy.
