as mintyhit says "... Whilst some showers cannot be ruled out, it does look as though Glastonbury should see plenty of dry and fine weather, so good news for festival goers. .."

Is it just me that thinks if they just concreted the site or Tarmac it would solve all the mud issues!? Surprised no ones thought of this tbh 

 

 

 

Hmm, site would lose the biggest greenfield festival in the world accolade.

next these people will be suggesting that what Glastonbury really lacks is a Calvin Klein desert disco.

Under the circumstances I'll have that BBC update with a big muddy STICK.

I took the kids to Camp Bestival (great little family festival by the way). I thought that it was the most middle class festival that I'd ever seen and then I saw the Boden tent. Praise the Lord that it's on chalk or the little darlings might get a bit muddy.

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

  Haha, I hope so too (note to self: put a long lanyard on set of keys)

My fiancée is disabled and she can walk but her left leg isn't good in the mud

I have a feeling that this is going to be a difficult year... 

My husband is a wheelchair user - it's hard-going in the mud - just make sure you give yourselves lots of time to get to places and use the metal walkways wherever possible, even if it means a detour. The viewing platforms are a brilliant base when it's muddy. It may be difficult, but you'll still have an ace time :-)

Wednesday night at the Stone Circle!

All the newspapers reporting a heatwave from Thursday but at the risk of thunder.

Probably standard tabloid fodder but looks like the two fronts are fighting for it?

There's only one way to settle this...

I've heard good things about all of rob da bank's festival output. Everything in this country still sounds a far cry from coachella, which hopefully it always will be. Imagine a coachella weather 2016 thread. It'd be one post saying 36° for the duration, no cloud cover, no rain. Where's the fun in that!? No graphs, no rollercoaster.

Not packing wellies? You my friend are mad

Lol, yeah, it's a def gamble, as well tempting fate   Although, this'll be my 5th festival and the only time I took wellies was in 2011 and I never used them even though it was pretty wet.  Walking boots did the job then, so I'm planning (hoping) it'll work out again.

P.S. loving the name btw, not sure if related or coincidence, but I am partial to the namesake DJ.

How I am reading the above.

[russycarps]

fella I know who knows about this sort of thing said that hot weather from spain and portugal will arrive this week, and worst case is a some heavy but brief thunderstorms and high humidity.

Bring it on motherfuckers!

Any chance of a current zoomable panorama pick being posted - how do you get this by the way - I only have the moving webcam?
