I base that on absolutely no science or meteorological knowledge, but instead on the fact that I want to get sun tanned, discard my wellies in favour of wee trainers, and dance about madly in the sunshine! What on earth are 'wee trainers'. Special ones that you wear to the long drops?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTambourineManc Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Just read a Guardian article about who has the most accurate forecasts. They suggested MeteoGroup (Weathercast). They have a little rain Friday pm but pretty fine otherwise http://www.weathercast.co.uk/world-weather/city-weather/city/44X1258/shepton-mallet.html?tx_mgcityweatherstatic_pi4[p]=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil_d Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'm a little worried that this week and weekend look like very good festival weather, and we're going to be a week late for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I have grafted like mad all winter to be able to afford to go. Got enough to worry me in regards to my guts. The weather is the not even a concern in the slightest for me. I am going to have a good time rain or shine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kashkin Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Temperature doesn't matter much if it's dry (in fact cool temps have benefits for getting sleep in the morning), but once you get some mud you really want warm temperatures to sort the mud out quickly.

Keithy Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Plus if it's clear skies all day, it can get surprisingly nippy in the small hours. I'm feeling very confident that the heavy duty wet waterproofs can be shoved back in my cupboard and just take a light shower pacamac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryclaireyfairy Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 STICK! I'm fine with putting my hoody on an hour earlier at night and getting to sleep about 3 extra hours in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sun but a nice cooling breeze would be ideal, you dont want it to hot after all, not much shade to be had when out and about at the fest.....im ginger trust me I dont want to much heat lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuwarr Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Temperatures hovering around 20 degrees would be absolutely ideal for me. I burn so easily and not having to slap on sun cream every half an hour would be nice! But frankly I'd happily sacrifice my skin if it meant keeping the mud away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
