Is that the sun I see reflecting off the JP tent?

1 hour til those tiny patches of blue sky widen, 2 til the sun is blazing.  Ignore the doom merchants, we're off to the best party on earth and it's going to be amazing.

You're nearly there, parxy.

I finished 4 long days on duty and on-call at 0800h this morning, so I am living the dream!

Got some My Nu Leng (Friday 0345-0430h Heaven) hammering out of the speakers, and am fine-tuning the clash finders!

To be honest, not much work is happening today. I've just spent 30 minutes finalising my clashfinder 

The day before Glastonbury should be a national holiday for ticket holders.

Met Office update - down to early morning drizzle only on Wed!

Aside from that only rain forecast is 40% chance of thundery shower saturday. Cloudy spells also upgraded to sunshine Friday Sat and Sun.

Could all change again but this is pretty fucking epic.

Brighter skies showing coming from the West on the webcam.  About 50 mins til the latest satellite image drops and we can see what that tiny, tiny, thin sliver of cloud is going to do.  Honestly situation is not nearly as grim as some are painting it at all; There is NO significant rain baring cloud that can reach the site for several days.  The cloud overnight/this morning was about 4 times the volume of what is heading in from the SW and depending on the competing fronts it might still just head over the channel and piss on french chips.

The Met Office app's rainfall video has that slither of rain passing up into Wales before it reaches the Pilton area, maybe hitting Bristol. We might catch the edge of it, but it'll only be light if it does (in my very limited opinion).

Walking boots more like....still don't for the life of me know why people wear wellys....so you get a bit of mud splashed on your legs that easily wipes off..better then ending up with a case of fungus  and blisters from trying to walk miles over a 5 day festival in sweaty non breathing rubber boots that really arent designed for such walking.

 

Walking boots being laced up tight always feel more secure as me.less likly to be pulled off by sticky goop and the soles are often gripper as well so less chance of falling over

 

I took wellys my first time in 2013 never wore them and never taken any sincein.... 2014/15 got by fine with boots despite the mud(esp in 14)

This. Muchly.

Getting better all the time, down from 50% chance an hour ago.

I agree though, pretty fucking epic.

Here's to half full glasses.

Keep the faith.

Just looking at that myself. That's a pretty great forecast, all things considered.

BBC reporting terrible news, that poor man died after being burnt only the other day at G. Awfully upsetting, and here we are worrying about a bit of rain, really puts things into perpesctive. RIP mate, it really is sickening news.

Great news.

The Daily Star online says it is going to be a muddy washout (I won't grace this site with the link to such a publication).

Given their record on such matters..................

The junction by the cider bus has definitely dried quite a bit since this morning, or they've put a lot of wood chips down. either way, it's looking miles better than yesterday!

Clashfinder is now at "Have at it" status, so I am now officially very excited (sorry this is not weather related but just needed to share the joy).  Have a good one everyone.  Love to you all xx

Maybe it's the coffee talking, but overhead conditions look about perfect on the webcam now.
