Q. Will you have wellies?

A. Yes.

Q. Will there be beer?

A. Yes.

Someone remind me where the issue is again.

A. Yes.

And that's still a no from me.

This is the band of rain from the latest GFS run that is of concern for Weds.  Its moving SW to NE.  If its proves to be a bit north than great, a bit more South then very very bad.

People who weren't at Bestival for that Sunday night storm in 2012 (or was it 2011?) - can't complain. That was apocalyptic. I reckon one in three tents were blown out of the ground and ended up in the forest or perimeter fence.

If that's the one I was at it was the wettest festival I've ever been to. Apocalyptic is right. The main stage was sinking and everything! Still had a great time though!

 

EDIT - I think '08 was the one I am thinking of actually...

Im still in sunny Dublin. Will be in sunny Taunton for a sundowner. 

This thread started in March by the way. And we still havent a clue.

Our best hope is squiggy Play-Doh ground, Its springy and perfect for dancing on.

Still better than the Radiohead thread

Of course we'll still have fun, but after doing 19 years of this the sunny ones where you can sit down are universally the best. So to hope for flat ground and the chance to sit in the sun drinking your perry is not unreasonable, particularly after a week of looking at sun symbols only for heavy rain that's about as welcome as Coldplay to turning up when you thought Radiohead would be playing appearing at the last minute.

I agree, madness starting this thread in March.

Perhaps we should earlier next year.

Crikey.. how did netweather's forecast change so quickly.. it was all sunshine yesterday

Just hopped in the shower and put amazon radio on my Bluetooth speaker.  First up 'Here comes the sun' followed by 'Hot summer nights'. Taking this as a sign.  Heading sitewards in a few hours.

We can't keep getting stressed/overjoyed about every forecast. There will be some showers. There will be some sun. There will be some mud. It won't be too bad.

This has been forecast for the last week.

The calming voice. Thanks for all your input in to this thread for the last week or so @devonhammer, much appreciated (although perhaps not appreciated as much by @The Nal)!

We're on the edge of things. Try all the towns in the area (Wells, Shepton Mallet, Glastonbury, Yeovil). All have got different forecasts, but all have some showers and some sun. Might be proper rain on Thursday, but this might be before most people are up and about.

Netweather only site I can see that is saying that amount of rain, don't wanna jinx it but I'm reluctant to believe it

[Padgey]

In all this furore about the weather my packing list hasn't changed one bit, ready for whatever!

[jmzparky]

Who was there in 2005? -  I decided in my stupid 19 year old student wisdom that a £10 - 2 man tent from asda for me and my 6ft2 mate to stay in with some flipflops and 24 cans of carlsberg was the only stuff we needed..... Cue  "The Apocalypse" on the Friday morning - 6 hours of absolutely torrential downpour!   So after vacating my tent with now added "waterbed" feature, strapped some plastic bags to my legs with cellotape  (which lastest about 30 seconds) - and i just wanted to go home!

But, my obersvations are - when so many people are walking on the mud/puddles, if it shines like its predicted to later on, the mud gets turned over so quickly and exposed to the heat of the sun before you know it - its dried up.  So even in 2005 despite the ridiculous amount of rain and not much sun... it was miles better come the saturday.

The weather reports are changing that frequenty i wouldn't worry about it. Trust me, you won't give a toss when your off your face on saurday night smashing it up in "Shangs".

we can still see the tor everything is ok!!!
