Excuse me folks. I'm off to touch myself. In the bad way.

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

Same here - was elsewhere but it was bone dry.

Looking OK

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

[Keva]

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.

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.

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.

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.

The glade just said on facebook the site resembles "20000 leagues under the sea"

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!'

It's as pointless as watching his weather forecasts

Up to a point, yes, but we know from previous years they start to get more and more accurate from about now onwards. So definitely not pointless.

There was probably about 100,000 people watching that and all simultaneously saying 'You'll get some in Somerset alright'.

Usefull advice from a weatherman, essentially telling us his job is pointless as he cant tell us what the weather will be like.

[jparx]

That Liam Dutton guy is doing my head in. He can do one!

[PhilG90]

Everyone chill out the sites flooded. It will drain out if it doesn't rain heavy over the coming days and it doesn't look like its going to. 

The forecast is also showing some pretty nice weather for the actual festival.

In terms of the whole clay thing I haven't a clue like but it will be grand!
