But can we rule out another '05 yet ?

I would say so; I reckon it's going to be a mixiblob of moisture and sunshine, how much moisture is still open to debate (as clearly shown in this thread) :)

My first two trip s to Glastonbury were 97 (with just trainers and black bags for footwear) & 98 and I gladly returned every year but 2007 really tested that resolve.

 

It jut felt so relentless and everything was just so awful. I still remember walking along the track thinking I don't think I can do this anymore.

 

When ticket day came around I was back on the horse and i've yet to miss one. So even when you are right in it and it feels awful come October you'll still be desperate to join the scramble no matter what the weather was like.

 

My first two were 97/98.  Did a few then took a break until 07 - imagine how I felt!

I found some data for 2013:

Loving these graphs, as I'm starting a Mathematics Masters next year they're like porn to me.

Nice to see that today (or maybe yesterday as there's no x axis points labelled) is the only time (since being within a decent range) of the predicted rainfall being less than last year. I'm getting a bit hopeful but I can see us ending up with ~15mm which is about a 3rd of last year. That should be easy to deal with :)

 

That or we're going to get a massive upward spike in the predictions in the next few days like last year :(

Latest GFS run is out. Pretty much the same as earlier - a bit of rain early on Friday and not much else except some potentially on Sunday. It has Monday's rain to mostly miss the site and head south now though which is positive too.

Based on today's readings I'd expect Jackones rating tonight to be back around the 5 mark.

So this would suggest that we have to not see a sudden spike on Tuesday, wed, or Thursday of next week then? I'm thinking that would indicate big trouble coming fast. Edited by CiaranMc

    • I’ve had a good sleep and I feel weirdly zen about the whole thing.   My first Primavera, so not the greatest first impression. I guess today couldn’t be any worse, right?   Thoroughly enjoyed Men I Trust and Geese. Cupra is a beautiful stage and the crowd seemed fun, friendly and engaged.   I think it probably could have gone even worse, considering how dangerous the crowding felt at times.   Anyway, we go again.
    • Brighton centre is a weird old venue for the Mary Wallopers - a great band, a really good live spectacle, and its a saturday night as well which sets it all up - but its at the bloody Centre? a charmless nonsense of a conference centre? Brighton dome is a ten min walk away and is so much nicer a place to see bands its ridiculous!    ah well, i'll probably mosy along anyways . . . 
    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.
