That's surprising, I'd have put Friday higher because of the storm.

I can't even remember rain on the Saturday shit I must have been wasted

[devonhammer]

I missed last year, but that's the info for Shepton Mallet

[djcolsen]

Wunderground is also a piss take website, definitely more rain on Friday then Saturday

I can't even remember rain on the Saturday shit I must have been wasted

All I remember about the Saturday was that it was really sunny in the morning, then I had a few brothers ciders and the hevans opened but it didn't seem like that much rain fall. The cider must have gone to my head

[richy24]

Im sure there was only one downpour on Saturday afternoon which lasted about 20 - 30 minutes? I ran from the Blues into Sonic until it passed.

 

It was enough to add to the already muddy conditions...but 22mm seems a bit high?

[justperfect]

It was absolutely chucking it down on the Saturday afternoon last year when we were watching paul heaton in the bbc introducing tent. Solid rain for about an hour.

[A Guy Called Matt]

I remember waking up Saturday morning and it was raining and it rained most of the morning. There was then one heck of a downpour Robert Plant set time in the afternoon.

Yeah I never saw the Leftfield so busy during that shower

I don't remember any of this.

Fuck I must be old.

Actually we spent Saturday wandering around various tents so it's maybe not so surprising

Yeah you are probably right about the saturday morning although i cant really remember!

 

It was lovely by the end of Robert Plants set though and full on sun during Jack White!

 

Strange weather last year!

[alframsey]

People seem happy with today's forecast, to quote Shirley - "that's nice"

[tazbang]

I get pedmills graphs but this one goes straight over my head..

 

Could you give a brief explanation of what I'm looking at? 

 

Its the rainfall prediction from multiple runs of the GFS model. Each line is a run, and each run will have slightly different parameters.

 

If the lines are all over the place, it means that small changes in the parameters causes a large change in the outcome (butterfly effect), and hence confidence is low.

 

If all the lines show the same thing, confidence is high.

Aye - it was properly skelping down on the Saturday morning before most of the festival had arisen.

We went out for breakfast and ended up just standing in one of the huts at the top of The Park as it was proper 'hurt your head' strength.

Wasn't there a power cut over most of the site due to the rain on the Saturday?  Or was that the year before?

That was Friday about 5.30pm

[JoeyT]

Ha brilliant we were all there yet can't even piece together what it was like!

 

Might as well stop this weather thread now because we're all going to be too pickled to remember what it's like after

Right okay, so from this you can say that there is a confidence regarding rain on Tuesday (23rd) but the rest is up in the air? is that fairly accurate?

[The Nal]

pfffttt.... downpour? that was a mild shower

 

T'was pissing down Tonyo. I was cowering in my hungover state under the cafe place up at the back of the Big Ground and then under the tree in the Pyramid Field.

[Jakkkkobz]

It was pelting it down during Robert Plant last year

Im sure it was saturday last year? Was watching Jimi Goodwin on the park and he had to go off early. Think Rudimental or disclosure were playing the same time and they got cut off. (Always get them 2 mixed up)

Definitely Friday, because as you said, Rudimental got cut off

[Simo71]

Friday was the storm when they cut the power off.

 

Saturday was horrible rain for the morning and afternoon. I got absolutely soaked watching kodaline and then imagine dragons. Horrible day.

Yes, my gf was watching Rudiclosure at the time and said they had to cut the act short because of the weather.
