psychology Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 https://youtu.be/vkFaC03kTo4 Hardly a mudbath, and it didn't rain for long. Seriously, do I need to give up my beloved cider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBarbour Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Source/link??? I found this... By the time the remnants of Bill cross the Atlantic towards the UK, it will be indistinguishable from any normal low pressure we’d expect to see at this time of year. It’s too early to say what impact, if any, Bill would have on the UK – but we wouldn’t expect any possible impacts to be anything out of the ordinary for UK summer weather. http://blog.metoffice.gov.uk/2015/06/18/tropical-depression-bill-continues-to-bring-heavy-rain-to-parts-of-the-us/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient_one Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 These years & the weather do seem to blur into one. I remember 2014 as being OK apart from the biblical downpour on Friday afternoon. But by the next day the paths were OK again. Yes, 2007 was cold & very wet, but it was my first time so I was happy happy happy. The year I can't remember was when some of the theatre/circus fields turned into a quagmire, and I had to abandon all plans of getting from Acoustic to Avalon in a reasonable time.

tom22 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Friday was total mayhem for a while last year, Rudimental rain was the wettest I've ever been, and I do triathlons. But the Sun came out for Elbow and it was lovely, if a bit muddy. Wasn't until Sunday pm when I could sit on the ground anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzy Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I've said this here before, but it depends on where you went. Certain areas were still absolutely wrecked on Saturday. Why? because of the heavy showers that hit in the afternoon. Silver Hayes was bad, the area in/around John Peel got pretty churned up, and the Other Stage field was a total mess. In my experience, Saturday was still very muddy well into the evening/night. Plenty of photos here showing contrasting mud levels http://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2014/jun/29/glastonbury-2014-day-two-in-pictures I was replying to the post about 05.

Swine_Glasto2014 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Or both. Or neither. All I can remember is God doing us all a favour and stopping Rudimental and that's about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Low Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 If last year's was a 'washout' and 'unbearable' I'd take it any day of the week. Granted as said I was in my tent for some of the rain and drunk for the rest but it really wasn't that bad at all. Dry nights everynight which is what I favour more.

devonhammer Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I work at the metoffice; an extract from the Chief Met's weekly brief Can you inform everyone at work that my real name is Gideon Osborne (George for short) and if they don't get their act together, I'm cutting the Met Office budget so spectacularly that there will be one barometer and a pine cone left. What will the weather be like? Someone there must know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasto Weatherwatch Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Friday only, pretty much all gone by Saturday afternoon. Took longer than that IIRC. Sunday was alright (and blazing hot) but still really sticky and welly weather Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedmills Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 In case anyone is interested, here is a comparison of the 2014 and 2015 website forecasts (both starting from 9 days before the festival starts): As you can see the two years look very similar so far. Let's hope the late change in 2014 forecasts doesn't happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suntan Sunday was more than alright, was a lovely end to the festival! And on the Saturday afternoon it was dry enough to sit on the ground outside the acoustic listening to Glen Tilbrook, there were still muddy areas where standing water had taken longer to shift or had heavy footfall but they were easily avoided unlike on the Friday.

Let's hope the late change in 2014 forecasts doesn't happen again. To me that just illustrates that its impossible to call this far out, and could go either way.
