I like the way we've all managed to forget about last year and just consign it to history 

No chance. I will never forget the looks I got off everyone while I was busting my moves to New Order in the mud. 

12 months on and I still can't decide whether they were looks of bemusement or disgust. 

I enjoyed myself anyway and will never forget last year.

It's easy once you get into the right mode, or is it just an evil plot of mine?

I am struggling to differentiate your posts.

What was that Jack bloke who did the long term forecasts a couple of years ago? Weather nerd.

Dos this mean that even if it does rain a bit, the water has plenty of space to fuck off to?

[Madyaker]

Yes, if it rains tomorrow. Anything could happen in the 3 weeks to festival.

[paulshane]

well, thunderstorms predicted for tonight and tomorrow, with a 'flood risk' but who knows, maybe it'll skirt the site.

[gooner1990]

I'm trying to remember if there have ever been any years when it's been glorious weather in the lead up to the festival, but then suddenly rained quite a lot over the weekend? 

I wasn't there but was 1998 a bit like that? 

Wonder how the ground would hold up if that was to happen?

Oh yeh!!

how could I forget! 

 

Remember it being roasting hot now!  Also I remember sitting on the floor for Brian Wilson on the Sunday so it must have dried up reasonably quickly!

We hadn't good weather fire weeks before the festival and on the Wednesday and Thursday, the ground was absolutely solid until the storm came. Friday and Saturday where overcast and berry muddy but when the sun came out on the Sunday the mud dried up within hours in most places.

The water table is very low at the moment. Which is obviously good news. IF we get any rain this weekend it will drain quickly. Now how long it will drain for....well let's hope we get minimal rain in the next weeks.

well watch will keep you informed

My fav Glasto vid happens to be from 2005.  The freaky weather features quite heavily.

 

[Mr Splodge]

Was onsite earlier its very dry and dusty.  They are spraying water to keep the dust down.  

Will update on conditions as onsite up to the festival.
