Torrential rain on Wednesday, rain on Friday and rain on Sunday. Guaranteed 5 days of mud. No thanks. 

Cant flipping wait! 

 

 

Though less rain would be good

I can't bloody wait for Countryfile

Looks like my fantasies of dancing outside at the Wow stage in blazing hot sunshine is out of the window.

Not just yet but slipping away with every day unfortunately 

[nban2010]

I'd rather have 5 days of mostly cloud and bits of sun than have 2 really hot days and 2 really rainy days!

I love how people in this thread are choosing to believe entirely different narratives. Why is the idea of blazing sunshine slipping away each day?

Seems to me that the forecasts are improving over the past few days. It looked pretty bad a few days ago but it's looking much more promising now.

[Skoo]

English weather is so bloody inconsiderate.

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Why?  What's happened?  Last runs were looking pretty positive.

[Skoo]

I'm possibly being a little pessimistic. Reading too much of Nal's weather commentary has blackened my optimism.

Keep banning myself from this thread but can't stay away haha

Isn't Sunday's Countryfile basically recorded today, so whatever their verdict is is based on today's charts anyway?

Personally think we'll have a mixed bag of sunshine and showers but enough sunshine for the ground to stay pretty solid underfoot. I'd take that right now.

Give credence to @The Nal and he shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Accuweather not fans of Muse, clearly!

Rain should not put a damper on the featured performances by Adele, Coldplay and Beck at the Pyramid Stage over the weekend.

There is a risk of the odd shower or two on Wednesday

There looks like there could be a spell of rain or showers around on Thursday and/or Friday

Jackets, jumpers or an extra blanket will be needed amid the rainy spells and at night.

Glasto 1997 redux.

The Sunday into Monday Met Office forecast is what to focus on for accuracy.

The current SW high and NW low pressure battle needs to run its course over the weekend; we will then suffer the consequences, good or bad.

The Weather for the Week Ahead section is recorded separately, and is broadcast every evening on the BBC News Channel.

You can watch the latest one here.

Latest pic from official Glasto Facebook looks great 

If you squint your eyes the gray sky almost looks blue

Michael Fish indicates a general improvement. God bless you, Mr Fish.

I think we're going to be alright.

[nban2010]

100 pages! And we have learnt nothing yet, except that it won't be a total washout nor will it be a total sun scorcher. 

Somewhere in the middle will do nicely.

I just bought even more binbags and a load of big ziplocks for putting clothes and undies in.  Did it help?  How's it looking?

[tjfish]

Just starting having a massive down pour in Bristol - Let it all out, none left for next week, that's what I say!

Countryfile is simple a slightly more in-depth weather forecast from the BBC/ Metoffice people. They won't tell us anything that the metoffice website doesn't 15 minutes before it's broadcast. 

That said it is a fun tradition.

Time to stop praying and start crying from the talk of those on site
