Lot more to come by the looks of it, grimy morning tomorrow perhaps have to see how quickly it clears but dry and cracked like it appears to be there'll be quite some capacity to drink it up - and we know it's dry from then until gates and past that so any that does make mud won't survive

[briddj]

Rain was forecast. It'll all be dry later on Monday let alone on Wednesday when the gates open.

[shoptildrop]

They have this wrong hopefully

yet the 3 day forecast they have posted at the bottom shows sun & clouds for the south lol

[hatman]

light winds too so those temps will actually feel like they are. better for the sound from the stages too

Good point, the wind had a massive impact in 2013 for me. Rain is bad, but at least you can actually hear.

I'm pretty deaf, it's ongoing lifetime kind of deafness, not tinnitus/loud music induced kind of deafness, several operations over the years but never really done much to improve the situation long term. It's bearable but I have to concentrate pretty hard to keep up with a conversation if a noisey room

Anyway

wind can make a huge difference to outdoor stages for me. So can the spot im stood in. Near the front I generally can't hear the vocals, too far back and the bass overpowers absolutely everything, especially at the pyramid I find. I've never really liked the mix there for many bands, but my mates tell me it's one of the better ones so it's probably just my crap ears

BBC is saying rain now for the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday following the festival, there's every chance we might get this a few days early. I'm not lifting the trophy yet!

[FuzzyDunlop]

If we are looking at 30 degrees and 2010 again, I am genuinely fearing ending up in hospital or its going to need to be a sober one over the weekend.

I am fucking fuming. Please can those temps drop a little bit?!

Edit: if Briddj prediction of 21/23 comes true, I can deal with that. 23 is a bit warmer than I'd want, but I can deal with it.

It's raining now 

[Koroviev]

Well the forecasters seem to be right for Monday. Looking at the Glastocam it's definitely going to rain there.

 

edit; Just noticed the post literally above mine haha.

ha ha

yes it started in the night and is still going just as the BBC said. Although it is due to stop this afternoon. We will see. 

 

At present it sounds like waves every time a lorry goes past the front of the house.

[frostypaw]

Looks like a couple of hours more rain at worst - excited to see what's left on the ground by tonight

It's not going to get that high, do not fear

[morph100]

Just said it could hit 25 on bbc weather although that's likely to be london smog temp.

Uh oh ..

This bit of extra rain calls for a gif of Phil Jones when he thought Utd had won the league at Sunderland before hearing the City score!

This is in line with the runs from yesterday, however is no indication of the amount, which wasn't much at all

Pretty much what's been predicted on here

Thanks weather people - that's re-assuring

[chrismac1986]

My Weather Live ap is generally pretty good and showing dry weds and Thurs but 70%, 40%, and 70% chance of rain Friday Saturday Sunday respectively. The problem is doesn't say how much rain, just the likelihood

[Alcatraz]

This mornings 00z run has rain being less of a deal on Friday than the previous run, Saturday still dry, however with the band of rain low enough on Sunday to give a dowsing

[Guest]

On the way to work this morning, it was evident that quite a lot of rain had fallen during the night (big puddles at the side of road etc). It does appear to be brightening up now though.

[stopwn1981]

The Norwegians reckon 2.1mm rain all festival. I'd be amazed if we didn't get a bit more than that.

[briddj]

Pretty much confirming what Alcatraz had to say.

Another improvement this morning with no rain on the Friday, Sunday has improved but still warning notes on that.

Max of 20 on Wednesday and 23 on Thursday. Home and dry with these days now.

Fri: Now pretty much zero rain hitting the site (was 12-3pm rain before). Still a bank of rain further north but not as menacing. Max temp has cranked up four degrees to 24. Don't want it any warmer than that.

Sat: Zero rain, max temps down a degree at 21.

Sun: The previous dangerous rain band for the whole passes far further north, northern Scotland. There is another band of rain which could hit Glasto around 6pm but at the moment that is hitting west Wales. High of 22 degrees remains.

[Guest]

Now raining heavily in Glastonbury. Hope it misses the site.
