Last years weather was a blessing. A repeat of that and I will be a very happy camper!

the first semi accurate forecast is out as below however comes with the caveat that Saturdays forecast is subject to change depending on which night Frank Turner is actually playing.

This is Accuweather's 90 day forecast. 

I've no idea how accurate it is though!!

#festiweather now has 22 degrees on Friday cooling to 18 by Sunday. Mostly dry :-)

Totally pointless really this far out but it's pissing down here so wanted some good news.

Aye, totally horrendous weather that year. Has the rain stopped in this pic ?

If I remember, it was ok Thursday and Friday then it went to shit. 

Started through the night on Friday and didn't stop :-(

I think this might have been on the saturday. i remember dancing to the mondays in the rain and then ended up staying in one of the tents for a good few hours. Think we left on the Sunday morning, the wife couldnt cope anymore!

I remember walking in from family camping for the Mondays. Outrageous rain downpour.

We made it till Sunday night then had to go. River through the tent etc.

Have said it before on here but hats off to the organisers for keeping things going. Opening the road for us to walk in bypassing general camping and opening the back exit to save us trying to get up the hill of mud saved the day.

[Lowther Calling]

Just as long as it's not like Eden fest... The mud was actually flowing!

[seano1988]

Weather forecast still looks decent, it does say heavy rain on the wednesday though so might be a little muddy, but a dry 4 days whilst there will do me nicely

[gingerchick]

Could cope with this!

[Mr_Grump]

Festiweather looks ok too...

[Baby On A Stick]

Bit too early yet, especially as Cumbria weather likes to do what ever it wants.

I honestly don't remember 2014 being that bad. Don't get me wrong, the worst in the four I've done, but still bearable. Maybe it's a mixture of being Cumbrian & quite a few muddy Glastonbury's that I just get on with it.... and drink a bit more. 

 

[Comfy Bean]

I'm believing nothing till Countryfile the Sunday before.

Im in a field this afternoon and the bbc have said all week it will be dry today.

Its pissing down :-(

[SloopJohnB]

Its pretty cool in Cumbria at the moment. It'll be cold in the tent at night!!

Not too cold, not too hot, no rain

Sounds ideal to me

Remind me again, which night is Frank "Stormbringer" Turner playing...

[ramragon]

Hmmmm that would be Sunday. Thank God he's playing elsewhere over the rest of the festival dates and hasn't decided to do a multitude of secret sets over the weekend
