Deaf Nobby Burton Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Rain is fine, a bit here a bit there, no problem. We're all on edge from last year and the slightest hint of rain scares the shit out of us. Last year was fucked before it started, we didn't have too much rain throughout but looking through my pictures I seemed to be layered to fuck in every one. So it was muddy damp and not even warm. If it's high 20s the odd bit of rain will be a welcome blessing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber Soldier Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 20 minutes ago, Glasto Weatherwatch said: I'll be honest, while the priority is to be dry and be able to wear trainers and sit down, I would take 99/03 weather (sun, clouds, warm, one or two very light showers) over 2010 (sunburn hell, people fighting for shade etc). Not out of the woods yet but I like the look of the forecast Fri-Sun. Agreed. The iPhone weather app is forecasting thunder/lightning on the Thursday, but apart from that it looks like the perfect forecast at the moment.

Agreed. 2013 was my fave Glastonbury so far, mostly because of its perfect weather conditions (after the thursday downpour). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliehashope Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Just dug out my mallet. It's the simple things in life that can really warm your heart! I kissed it and raised it triumphantly in the air, safe in the sweet, sweet knowledge that it will be heavily required this year!..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasto Weatherwatch Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 At this point last year: - Site was in a right mess obviously - BBC symbol forecast and Norway predicting a completely dry week - BBC tv forecasts were warning about major Sunday night rain which wasn't really predicted on GFS Learnings: - Pay more attention to the actual verbal forecasts than symbols. So when Met Office has a white cloud but says in the copy thundery outbreaks, some heavy, spreading northwards, that means we're still at risk - Norwegians are often wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at it this way, if it's a scorcher on Wednesday it's a scorcher for everyone, security included. Human nature might kick in, searches might not be as thorough as security tire or get hot and you might actually get through quicker Edited June 17, 2017 by swede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six years or so ago I finally accepted that certain parts of my head were never going to grow hair (at least at the same rate as the rest) again, I went out and bought a pair of clippers for 30 quid. Four cuts in I was into profit (based on my usual haircuts costing a tenner then). I'm still using the same clippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
