I thought that was IOW! What's it like down there 

Been glorious down here on the island for the past couple of weeks. It pretty much turned as soon as the festival started.

Currently pissing it down.

Aaaallthough, a quick check of my pictures confirms a very soggy Download 2011 and Glasto 2011

Someone stole my wellies from outside my tent at Download that year. Had to leave in flip flops. Bastards.

Yeah.....

I hate flip flops too.

More often than not IOW and Download seem to be washouts, its funny that Glastonbury has this reputation for mud and rain but the IOW for definite seems to rain every year.

Anyway, this morning I'm in disarray not knowing what to think, up to now I've always found Accuweather to be, well, very accurate, but last night after work I thought i'd check the weather to see if a quick BBQ was plausible, it told me in my location it was no more than a 5% chance of rain all evening... it got greyer and greyer and the mother off all Thunderstorms broke out and lasted about 2 hours. All the time Accuweather insisted it still wasn't raining. The moral of this story, trust nothing when it comes to weather.

More photographic evidence from Glastonbury.

Glastonbury is cracking on for the capacity of Download and Isle Of Wight put together, probably has a bit to do with more photographic evidence.

Out of the six times I've been, I've been quite lucky. Not had any sustained really crap weather, yeah there have been bits but it's not lasted. In me Yorkshire-fied version of weather reporting there's good, ok and crap and apart from 2010 jumping into the good category it's been ok.

Also it's much higher profile, so a bit of a target from snobby/bigoted daily mail-esque publications that like to try and make out everybody is having a terrible time.

Has anyone seen the videos.from Download? Fuck-ing hell! Take a look on Glasto Chat on FB, some scenes worse than 05 or 07 on there!

The weather at Download definitely seems to have gone down the toilet since I stopped going...

Those Download scenes look horrendous! Poor bastards

I didn't notice people looking for shade in 2010 because I was too busy enjoying a rare few days of actual summer weather in the UK like a normal person.

That'll do me. Gutted for the people at Download and Parklife up here, slightly less so Parklife cos at least they're not camping.. 

Got utterlty soaked on me cycle to work, had to change into scrubs... Hopefully this is the Weather Gods way of compromise for a dry Glastonbury..

[ghostdancer1]

latest run has a rogue bastard of low pressure hanging around from Friday onwards.

cmooooooooon high pressure!

[FuzzyDunlop]

19 degrees C. No rain is perfect. No one has issues.

Im in a minority - granted, but I can handle the rain much easier than days of constant sun. 

19°C no rain... no problems.

Latest weather for the week ahead on the BBC looking promising and they are even using the word confident. The high pressure that is arriving (more of an Azores fist that just a finger) looks from what other weather sources are saying to be a strong one and indications are it will hang around for quite a while.

A long way to go yet but this is quite promising.

Loving that outlook . Gimme !

 

[Watergirl]

Download photos defenitely a reminder of what things can be like. The last number of years at Glastonbury haven't been bad at all, but I guess be prepared for all eventualities.

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

The Accuweather forecast has switched back to rain everyday again.... However, reading some of the articles about download forecasters have suggested that they may see as much as 15-40mm of rain in one hour, the Accuweather forecasts suggest around 1mm of rain for Glastonbury, so if they don't change for the better then we'll still be incredibly lucky!

If Tomasz says so, it will be sunny!

A little bit of rain is grand. Download looks miserable though, the wind is the worst!
