We are not going to have a full appreciation of the site conditions until this rain has gone (dinner time tomorrow) - all forecasts then seem to agree that tues-thurs most likely mainly dry (odd shower), it's what happens on the fri-sun that's unclear and is causing swings and variations in opinion - that's fair enough tho as its a 5-7 days away - we'll know more come midweek no doubt. Fingers crossed.

variations are fine and expected but talking as if its going to be so bad as to put people off buying tickets next year, and trying to compare it to years like 2005 and 2007 etc.......where does that come from seriously? drama queens lol

It'll be the flooding that did that. I hear you I do, but it's not difficult to understand why people are a bit jittery.

I think it's going to be fine, but  I get the concerns.

aye i get all panicky that it's gonna be a shitstorm and every once in a while need somebody on here to spout some mumbo jumbo statistic that i don't quite understand but that's slightly more positive

CallyG's positive attitude is awesome. My Hibernian roots direct me to be properly cacking it and leave room to be amazed later, rather than cold-blooded now and told you so later.

My Hibernian roots direct me to how Stokesy is reportedly on fire and supposedly your defence is terrified.

Fuck this thread.  It's harshing my buzz. The minute a good forecast comes in someone shoots it down with an opposite.  I'm leaving Tuesday afternoon and fuck the weather.  I'm a survivor of 97 98 05 and 07 and nothing will piss on my parade ! Let's fucking have it !

Exactly this. Who bloody cares what the weather is like... A rainy day at Glastonbury is still much better than pretty much any other day!

Its not without reason, check the current yr.no forecast - if that comes to pass it will be a true mudbath.

Love the optimism! I really hope you're right.

I'm sure I am. It's now stopped raining and we have a brisk breeze to help dry the site out.

The kind of mudbath with 7mm of rain over the entire weekend? I expected better from eFestivals.

it might not be `sunny` as such but people are talking about this year as if its going to be like famously shit years weather wise when at most all we`re expecting are some showers......I really have no idea where it comes from such pessmism

I'm just seeing it as chance to sleep without boil in the bag scenario and dying by 7am.... we'll be fine

18mm wed-sun (rain every day) and 10mm tomorrow alone on the mobile site for Pilton, Somerset. That's a mudbath....

That's from the Norwegians and what reignited the mud bath talk

[simonizer]

See? Exactly why I'm done with this shite. It seems some folk on here are almost praying for it to be bad. And if we're talking rain 14 millimetres is fuck all over 3 days.

A mudbath is out of the question. It's not raining!!  Both my cats are outside FFS.

[Sawdusty surfer]

Rain stopped half an hour ago.  Ground noticeably wetter than this afternoon.
