I can confirm that the rain Somerset was getting that came over from Ireland has now stopped here now and its sunny. 

Patio dry, car in the driveway dry, grass almost dry, bollocks dry. 

No it's not.

 

It's still pissing down!!!! And it's going to piss down all week!

The Nal has got his hat on; he's coming out today.

Does anyone else start to get worried when The Nal gets optimistic?

Very much!

Back in Plymouth, we actually have a blue sky now! Some light fluffy clouds and even...a bit of sun! Hopefully it's on it's way to the site - if so there will be some mouth watering web cam viewing in a couple of hours.

I see your Camp Bestival, and raise you OnBlackheath.

It has a 'VIP' section for John Lewis card holders only (and is also the only festival that Mrs.Fish will go anywhere near.)

I can beat that.  Went to Jamie's Big Feastival last year (Don't ask, my OH booked it  - actually was quite fun...).

In the queue for entrance wristbands honest to god saw a family with all their clothes on hangers, looked like they'd walked straight out of a flipping Boden catalogue.

CLOTHES ON HANGERS. 

The most ridiculous thing I've seen at any festival before or since...

When the holy sh1t 4uk of a storm hit in 2014 I remember, I think it was rudimental or someone like that were shut down due to all the power going. We got drenched to the bone! my friend and I were dress as the blues brothers at the time (all be it pretty poorly) we all dived in the beat hotel and had an impromptu dance off with around 40 of us properly going for it. One of my best Glastonbury moments.

Posh girl next door at Pennard hill in '09 had a 2 bedroom tent, one of which she had a rail in with clothes on hangers.  Needless to say apart from the clothes she left the lot along with all the filth around her and her posh friends' abandoned tents.

A friend of mine went to her first festival and took a quantity of talcum powder (because she enjoys using it at home) in a freezer bag.

Confiscated at the gate - suspicious white powder in a baggy. Friend was mortified.

Don't trust your iphone's weather forecast, ever. The most unreliable forecast of them all.

Talc's an essential item to pack - but why a plastic bag of it seemed like better system than the actual Johnson's bottle it comes in is baffling.

I can see blue skies, and the sun is breaking through in Exeter, Devon. Keep the faith everyone,  it's working

Haha, same. Beat Hotel that day was a joy to behold. Really lovely, hot and sweaty while the rain was biblical outside. Greg Wilson playing Chemical Bros tracks and everyone stuffing mdma into their faces to warm themselves up.

If I have to do that again all week, so be it.

Exactly what i was thinking!

Report from a friend on site:

"It's stopped raining for a wee while. Still no sun yet. It's gonna start raining again in a sec until about 2pm. The water isn't draining away at the moment. So very puddley. Couldn't put a tent up on this at the moment without making everything muddy. However it is supposed to be a dry evening and sunny tomorrow - so although it won't dry up it will make camping a little easier."

Had a good lie in this morning. Just checking in for the first time. This is my favourite forecast and I can guarantee it will happen.

Very worried. It's like it's so grim that he's gone a bit doolally

Sunday needs some major improvement though at a mild 46!

So the weather has taken a turn for the worse =/

So it would suggest that will be blue sky soon? So were the showers not as bad as last weekend? So currently the wettest the ground will be all week?

Just Saturday looking grim at the moment according to the Met Office.
