Our friends in Norway are showing some pretty fab omens at the moment, people...

You're welcome! There are a couple of videos on there, and in my (albeit limited) opinion, it looks fine, even the roads with tonnes of trucks driving over them look ok.

And surely staff there will be monitoring the situation, won't they be actively working on diverting the water away, especially if there's more forecast? I can't see them simply awaiting the potential carnage come Wednesday!

My first thought watching that stream was that it didn't look as bad as I was expecting. Granted he's on the hill near the Glsatonbury sign and not down at the bottom, but still.

Rain should not put a damper on the featured performances by Adele, Coldplay and Beck at the Pyramid Stage over the weekend.

Doesn't look anyway comparable to 2007 from what I'm seeing! Not only did it not stop raining it was also fucking freezing!

I don't remember it raining during Metallica. Was tremendous. 

Nah it had stopped raining by Jack White, it was before that there was biblical levels of rain (peaked at Robert Plant). I'd forgotten about the slipperiness of the ground which someone mentioned earlier, hands down the worst bit of 2014.

I was going around like bambi on stilts in 2014

Much prefer last year's weather.

There's a definite improvement on most of the websites today. I'll post graphs later.

Maybe I have selective memory... but I don't remember 2014 being that bad? There was a bit of slippery mud around which was fun after a few... but didn't dampen my spirits.

If it rained full stop from Wednesday-Monday then yea.. it might be crap. Otherwise is all good to me

I can understand those who can't get around in muddy weather though.

Its wet at the mo, but at least they seem to be bringing the monorail in:

Webcam has gone from sunny to overcast today.  I'm cautiously optimistic, or at least recovered from yesterday's shock.

flooding has never been as bad since they improved the drainage and started putting wood chippings down.

[parsonjack]

A mudfest will be bad for GFL with respect to what's left behind......tradition has it that wet years see mountains of crap discarded.

However bad...please try to take your stuff when you leave.

The video starts with him wandering past the Bread and Roses - it's definitely wet but a dry festival will soon sort that out :-)

When was the last year people couldn't help being sanctimonious bells?

 

Oh must have been 2016.

Weather forecast are looking perfect today!

Naughty Major Tim!

He lands to gorgeous weather and, to paraphrase, one of first things he says is 'Well, it was very hot in the capsule and it's very hot in this spacesuit, so I could do with a little cool rain!'
