That should be down to a 4, or even better up to a 6. His backtofront grading is doing my nut in!

He's hedging his bets now. If he keeps going 4,7,4,7 everyone will decare bullshit. Let's hope the improvement trend continues tomorrow or at least levels off, don't want to swing the other way again!!!

Maybe it's me who is being OVER positive after the hell of yesterday, but tonight's summary looks a little pessimistic. Here's to another good chart tomorrow!

 

I thought that too, but maybe he is factoring in the previous trend of bad weather reports and seeing this as an outlier?

That and maybe after getting the rainfall a bit wrong last year he's erring on the side of caution.

I'd rather have a slightly pessimistic forecast and be pleasantly surprised rather an optimistic one and be disappointed and wet

friday night and potentially sunday looking wet on the latest GFS run.

As long as the Friday is not like the hell of the U2 year... That was the moment when I was so cold and wet I was the closest to phoning my parents and getting them to pick me up, take me home for a hot shower and then drop me back to the site...

On a side note, for those who say 2014 'wasn't that bad'... No, on the grand scale of things, it wasn't. But when you have to send your other half out to buy new wellies because the rain was so heavy it went inside your old ones and they are sodden and you are concerned about trench foot...oh and all the stages have to be SHUT DOWN because of the storm... That's pretty bad

My wellies did that. I poured a pint out of them.. why buy new ones? Go back to your tent. Get a load of loo roll, soak it up. Dry your feet, talcum powder, new socks.. good to go.

    • 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...
