Wednesday - Warm and dry

Thursday - Warm with increasing risk of thunderstorms

Friday - Sunday cooler with showers but OK.

I'd be happy with that....am I alone in thinking if we have to have rain I'd rather it be on the 'music days' when your to busy shuffling from set to set to see much about the weather anyway.....just want a nice dry wensdays/Thursday as them be camp setting up/chilling out drinking days!

[rpfranks]

We were lucky with the torrential rain all but avoiding the farm yesterday so can't see us being lucky for the whole week, it's today I'm worried about. Get through today mostly unscathed and it might be ok for those arriving early Wednesday morning...

Is pylon OK to camp if it's muddy? Trying to stay as close to coach gate as possible due to my bf buying everything online instead of ordering from cozy camper. Mallets and everything. Got a lot to carry  I think everywhere will be a bit muddy but it's not going to be a flood fest is it? 

You should be fine as its on an incline

You won't need mallets, the ground will be soft enough.

Wondering this myself, plus I'm not arriving till midday Thursday so not sure if there will be space either? Anyone?

Where is @devonhammer with a nice comforting picture that I don't understand?

Not sure I want to see @pedmills graphs, all but the BBC are suggesting rain everyday

[CaledonianGonzo]

No they aren't.

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Just checked Accuweather, Weather Underground, weather online and met check and they all show rain to some extent every day, other than the BBC who don't.

according to people on here pylon doesn't get jam packed, so think you'll get space there. I think the fields closer to all the action fill up quickly. I usually camp in oxylers and its packed. trying something a bit quieter this year as me and the bf are getting old and like our sleep haha

Carol on BBC breakfast seemed pretty confident it's going to be dry this afternoon and tomorrow until maybe some rain at 1600.

Wednesday we are getting potential humid air from France. That could bring thunderstorms. 

Ohh she said those of us heading to Glastonbury should expect some showers,  sun and certainly not a mud bath. 

Carol wouldn't lie.

Just watched Carol do the weather on Breakfast, and she said "if you're going to Glastonbury expect sunshine and showers, but not the usual mud bath".

Carol just been giving it the biggun on BBC breakfast - seemed to suggest some more rain later tomorrow, OK Wednesday, and thunderstorms coming into the south (they haven't got a clue where) Thursday onwards. She referenced glasto and said 'sunshine and showers - not the usual mud bath'

[Keithy]

Latest time lapse from US Weather Service (again hosted on YouTube due to file size) from 7pm last night through to midnight Friday (though obviously there is less confidence in the forecast, the longer out you go).

Showed 4.5mm dumping early this morning (which is in line with the reports from site) with a bit more to come until 10am. Rain should clear up earlier than Saturdays forecast though now 3.5mm on Tues 10pm, shower 1am Thurs and then a shower Friday morning (10am) through to mid afternoon.

Forecast is in 3 hour segments

Ah carol  I trust her weather. Carol wouldn't lie. 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Starting to think I might have dodged a weather bullet this year by not going... what's the prevailing mood?

I know you'll all have fun regardless yada yada

[stopwn1981]

Just waiting for the nal to besmirch carol's honour...

[Skoo]

Feeling more confident after "Carol with the Weather" just gave a very comforting forecast. I've always liked Carol. She's a good lass.

It's going to be wet underfoot, reasonably dry overhead.  I think that just about sums it up.

I'd take that. Considering the June we've had so far that's not that bad really.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Good optimism! June has been - and still is - an absolute washout here. Torrential rain all night and still going.

[Stooonami]

Why have the festival gods foresaken us?!?

[stopwn1981]

Don't worry come this arvo everyone will be all like...
