The remnants of tropical storm Bill could be decisive.

I'm as guilty as any in proclaiming any good forecast as gospel, and bad ones as mumbo jumbo.

But, I really DO trust BBC Weather. Not infallible, of course, but pretty damn accurate. Only problem is it is updated so frequently that, like them all, it only counts a short time ahead...

BBC has taken a dramatic turn for the better .. Does this tend to be fairly accurate? I see some people have great faith in this source.

 

They forecast monsoon like conditions with thunder and lightning last Friday. All we got was a bit of drizzle.

With less than a week to go, forecasts are going to start getting more accurate. I'm nervous!!

Already set the planner for Countryfile on Sunday...

I'm hopeful of being able to watch countryfile although at the mercy of getting home following a stag do in Brighton so not sure what time i'll be back :(

 

Hopeful the next set of charts will show some improvement...

I asked this question around this time last year, and got some good mixed responses:

Theoretically, how much would you pay for the guarantee of no rain over the full duration of the festival?

I think right now I'd stretch to £200.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
