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

I'll need the mallet to hit him with for making me carry so much crap!

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

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'

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...

[geoffboycott]

Persistent rain overnight and again this morning - lots of surface water on the roads, but it's going to be ok, I'm sure of it - I'm not packing wellies - that my barometer of confidence hehe!

[Stretlow]

Well this is utterly depressing, im pooping myself here

As long as you aren't fishing in a puddle for your keys we'll be good then?

[priest17]

Forecast shmorecast. 

However it turns out I'd rather be rained on at Glastonbury than on the way to work.

[JoeyT]

Wellies make me feel f*cking invincible so don't mind wearing them.

Dry overhead is the worry for me.

[nban2010]

Looks like a mixed bag so far then. Bit of rain, bit of sun, bit of cloud. Not as wet as 2014 but not as dry as 2015.

Makes packing a bit tricky!
