Only a couple of mm was shown on the models so this rain seems to be quite a bit more than forecast. Hope it stops soon...

[MrHew]

According to the met office it should be stopped by 12.

[amfy]

It rained and rained overnight & this morning.......but now its glorious again & almost everywhere seems to be fine underfoot now.

I'm back at the tent losing the wellies & getting my converse back out for tonight!

Unbelievable result!

Best weather since 2010? We managed to avoid two of the three big downpours and only got wet during Alabama Shakes. Great Glasto this year all round.

2013 wasn't too bad, probably on a par with that?

 

Very unfortunate the rain on Friday could have drifted 2 miles north/south and it'd not touched the place! Suppose you could say the say same about the storm that hit in 2013 as well.

Did it rain more then last year? ,,, I didn't go this year

[danbailey80]

Flips flops yesterday, trainers today. No mud all good.

[TheNewUnion]

Talking to our neighbors, they had a massive weather win. In Cockmill Bar for the entire of the Friday downpour, woke up after Sunday morning rain. Fair play.

Was pretty muddy at times, and several hours of continuous rain on the Friday and the Sunday - more than forecast. But obviously nothing like the mudbaths that developed in 05 and 07. I'd put it on par with 2013 probably, maybe a bit muddier.

[ltfckimbo]

A bit muddier than 2013, but much hotter. Best weather since 2010 for me.

[Alcatraz]

We did A OK kids. At least 3/3.5 days where you could sit on the grass.

I hear it's looking dry for next year!

[Swine_Glasto2014]

Well guys we could not of asked for more..near on perfect weather from start too finish.

[st dan]

Weather report was spot on. Got the completely dry days of Wed, Thurs, and Sat .. And the showers came Friday and Sunday as predicted

Certainly helped with the packing and all my friends thought I was a weather guru as I told them the forecast on Tuesday (from here!!)

Can't complain at all really with this years weather. Would take that every year without fail.

Thanks again all!

I was not there this year but the only Rain in 2013 was on the Thursday after 3pm till midnight and mud gone by lunchtime Friday so that was one of the best I have been to weatherwise apart from 2010 when there was not a drop.

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

Met Office had weather spot on Wednesday and then got too optimistic.

Weather was good overall but still worse than was widely forecast when festival started. Everyone who forecast using GFS got the rainfall pretty incorrect TBH.

Not complaining but was briefly quite cross on Friday when it was churning up.

Good weather confirmed till 2019!

[Sawdusty surfer]

Lovely evening on site tonight

[paulmuchmore]

It was overall lovely. Thursday a bit too hot if anything! Sunday morning's rain really wasn't that bad - any mud it created dried up within a couple of hours. Friday a bit heavier than expected, which left mud for the rest of that day, but it didn't cause much trouble at all.
