Weather 2016

[mungo57]

I have 21 mins to go now, not that I am counting.

Last few things need packing up pre-voyage tomorrow morning. Will be picked up this evening in the van and then we go at 5:30 tomorrow from London, aiming to be at the disabled car park for about 9. Fuck fighting in the mud for the early rush!

Thanks for the fun in the weather thread again guys. Hope you all have an excellent time and see those of you that make it at the meet tomorrow.

Much love, enjoy Glastonbury, and I expect each of you to have at least 1 cider in memory of the poor guy that died in Green Fields.

Just finished work but still got to hang around as my waterproof jacket hasn't been delivered yet. Then I'm off to watch the American idiot rock opera thing with the lady, a night in a hotel, then off to Brighton to see my Glastonbury family and then finally off to frolick in my favourite field!

24 hours? That's optimistic. It's going to be a knackering 5 days! 

I find 4 hour train journeys and getting up at 5am far more knackering than 5 days of alcohol and recreational activities 

[MEGABOWL]

I've nothing else to add weather-wise. I just want to say to everyone look after the place until I get in early Thursday, and have a fucking awesome time!

[moheetoes]

Have a great time everyone, the weather thread has been emotional, as always, see you in the fields

[alibear]

Yep, it's been a rollercoaster alright. Have fun everyone, and if the mud's sticky and you see a woman struggling to push her husband in his wheelchair it probably me, so please feel free stop by and help a sister out for a few seconds! :-)

[lyndseyo]

finish at half six but our coach isn't until 10:30am Thursday so will carry on lurking on the thread until then! Have fun those of you travelling tonight/tomorrow

Can't go until Friday am - childcare

Same here, but still a million times better than the alternative, which would be not going at all. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sounds like it's just me and you here tomorrow, Weatherwatch.  Let's hope things have settled down now. 

[Henrik]

Work finishes at 4.30 for me. Then I will be heading straight home and trying to get to sleep as soon as I possibly can as I'm on the 4am boat from the Isle of Wight tomorrow.

Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. It's been real and it's been fun - but it wasn't all real fun.

Have a great Glastonbury you beautiful people.

For the first time in 3 years I wont be going to Glasto in the morning moody about the forecast. Looks like its going to be a fantastic year!

It has been a rollercoaster and as always a crazy ride. 

Have fun folks! See yall there.

[kaytee...]

I've just got to my hotel in Liverpool ready to get the coach in the morning.

Anyone leaving today, take care and have an absolute blast at Glasto. 

Whatever the weather, we're still gonna be having a better time than most people

 

See you in the fields!!

[big__phil]

Right, I'm done. Have a belter everyone, and I'll see you in the fields!

[MEGABOWL]

....and I still cant decide whether to take walking boots or wellies. I'm paralysed by indecision.

[justperfect]

I'll still be lurking in the weather + state of the ground threads tomorrow so any updates from boots on the ground will be welcome.

Have a safe journey everyone xx

Take both. I am. You might only be in wellies for the first day, but if those walking boots get knackered up early doors you're on a misery run. Look after those feets!

@CaledonianGonzo @doogie Pull up a seat by the campfire, I'll get the warm lager opened and the, er, smartphone weather app loaded

Chicken feed.

Should be OK. Don't think anyone is forecasting rain until tomorrow morning, if at all. 

[Larraht]

I want to say that I'm signing off, now we're at the high of that roller coaster...

..but I don't leave until 7am tomorrow so who am I trying to kid. See you every 10 mins for the next 12 hours.

[rpfranks]

Well, this thread has been a right old rollercoaster....

Leaving this evening about midnight.. Should be in the queue for 3. Praying the heavens don't open on us in the queue! Enjoy it, folks!

More good news

Latest update (2pm, Tuesday 21 June): Fears of thunderstorms and torrential downpours earlier this week seem to have subsided. There is still a risk of the odd shower, but the weather is currently expected to stay bright and dry throughout the festival. Conditions will be muggy, so packing lightweight layers and plenty of wet wipes might be sensible.
