Live in the west, and it's been raining for a few days now. It won't rain for 12 days more straight, so expect some dry weather. stay positive!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Heavy rain in the Midlands a week before the festival  is certainly the nightmare scenario.

Not one mention of the actual forcast for Glastonbury or Wimbledon in the article. Barely a mention of the South West at all

[devonhammer]

Run down of the main forecasts that I look at:

Summary

There's low pressure to the North and high to the South. We're on the edge, so it could go either way. Not many models predicting a wash out although ECM not looking good. Not many models predicting perfect weather although TWO looks very good. If I was to bet on it, I'd say similar to last year, but ground might be worse condition due to rain this week.

GFS

Dry on Thu-Sun of festival, but could be pretty muddy underfoot as there's rain this week, followed by rain on Mon-Wed of festival week.

GFS Ensemble

Rain this Wed-Fri and next Tuesday is consistent with pretty much every run, but after that it's all to play for.

TWO

Heavy rain this Wednesday, some rain next Tuesday and then showers at worst.

Meteox

Not yet in range

WeatherCast

Rain on Tue-Thu this week. Rain on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday next week.

Met Office

"From Sunday and into next week the latest indications are that unsettled and often windy conditions will return from the west, although there is a fair chance that much of southern and eastern England will be dry and bright this Sunday. In general bands of cloud and rain are expected to move eastwards across the British Isles, interspersed with brighter, showery conditions. The most frequent spells of rain are likely across the northwest, whilst the southeast should see more in the way of drier weather."

ECM

Only goes out to Wednesday of festival week. Persistent rain.

YR.NO

Only goes to Thursday morning of festival week. Rain this week, dry from Sat-Wed and rain on Thu morning.

No they aren't.

I am still cleaning my wellies.

[Hotchilidog]

And it was all looking so good yesterday....sigh......

[**claire**]

This build up isn't the same without Jackone, Pedmills AND Bigdog.  The loss of one I could come to terms with, but all three?

Anyway, at least the Norwegians are looking better today.  We just need the rain threat to keep moving along the long-range forecast & we're golden.

[dooke10]

I'm well prepared for any weather.

Its just my 34 year old fucking knees that want nice dry ground for a little rest now and again.

Gotta love those Norwegians.

I want five dry days, but I'll take a bit of wet on Thursday morning for a fully dry pitch and set up on the Wednesday...

Just putting things in to perspective, my "Facebook memory" today was me declaring how happy I was that the forecast for Glastonbury now has no rain at all.

That post was in 2007....

Same here Ben.  We're setting up on the Tuesday in CVE but I'll keep hoping for dry Wednesday too for the camping contingent.

This thread has that Hot tab next to it right now. Is this a sign of things to come?

[Mardy]

Fuck this. If we have anything approaching 2007 weather again, I'll be packed up and leaving by Friday lunchtime. Bollocks to all that positivity/right clothing/doesn't affect my enjoyment nonsense

Take some comfort in the fact we haven't had a soaked May and June up till now, though depending on how heavy the rain is over the next week that could be a moot point!

Mentally (and kit wise) I feel much more prepared for another 2007, physically - not for shit. Will be interesting to see how it pans out if that occurs, could easily see leaving early as an option.

[donshakey]

If it's '07 i'm going home

[Mezhyp1]

The only way I would ever leave a festival early due to weather is if the festival was abandoned and I had no choice. It's not going to be wall to wall sheets of rain(or at least it looks that way), so there's no way that's going to happen. As long as the festival is on, it's waterproofs on and get on with the job

I have waited far too long in a state of utter sobriety for this to arrive. So whatever may come, I say bring it.

Coach drops me off at 0630h on Wednesday and takes me home at 0830 on Monday.

Go hard, or go home.

Mardy - man the fuck up. See you at the meet.

@pedmills said a while back he would be returning... please??

At least we now have @devonhammer's summary, which I hope becomes a daily occurrence.
