Speaking of cloud seeding / altering weather. My sister was involved in the organisation of the Olympic opening ceremony and although it was slightly above her pay grade, she is fairly confident that plans were in place if needed to ensure there was no rain.

She doesn't know however whether the good weather we had during the Olympics (fairly sure there was only 1 maybe 2 days of rain) was a result of alterations or just good luck.

Oh lord let's not go down this road. I've seen some far out conspiracy theories about this!

On a lighter note it looks like Download/IOW are going to get a bit damp - while bad for them this gives me much optimism. Sun drenched Downloads seem to accompany wet Glastonburys in my memory

2013, both festivals it only rained once at both, both times pre festival start too.

Mind you it didn't half piss it down at Download, thunder n lightning and torrential rain - the ground never managed to fully recover completely from it.

I love this thread. I come in and look at all the charts, nod to myself, say "yes this is a chart" and then go back to waiting for the next one. Thanks to all who know more about what they're talking about!

Hahahahahaha, me too wetflame!

It's only accuweather (which doesn't update every day) which is looking bad today:

Nice chart. What am I going to do for the rest of the day now?

This does look much better than yesterday though!

Gavs weather vids starting full Glasto predictions from Saturday onwards....

When we begin the regular update's for Glastonbury it will be very interesting to see whether the model is still attempting to bring us an extended spell of dry and warm weather for the Pre-Glasto period as well as the event itself.

Glastonbury update's will start on GWV events page on Saturday evening around 7pm.

    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)

    • I found the vibe a little different to recent editions.. definitely an older crowd, less queer, less Spanish.. certainly has something to do with the lack of Glastonbury this year. And I felt Saturday was a little overcrowded. I‘ve never seen Mordor as full as last night for the xx and Gorillaz. Did not enjoy that too much.
    • Not my favourite year either, despite liking the lineup more than previous years. Not sure what it was, I guess Thursday really put the brakes on things. But yeah I'll be back next year hopefully. And maybe Massive Attack will return... 
    • E-mail summarizing Saturday - Primavera Sound 2026 Journal Day 3. As in previous days, it's going to be on the website soon, I think.
