The state of the ground.

is it too soon to say...

scorchio? 

[Madyaker]

The only thing it's safe to assume at the moment is that it won't be as muddy as last year. That's it.

Park hill looks like it's still a bit fucked from last year.

[mazola]

The Glastonbury sign looks like it's further up the hill, gonna be a right old trek to get up there I reckon

I wanted to question this when I saw it on twitter. But, nearly as much rain fell on the festival as it did in the whole month of June before last year? Surely that can't be right.

Seems low to me too. 

I'm picking the numbers up from a couple of sources - no telling for local variances or if the weather station is on the blink. That said, it did rain a lot during the night twice last year. 

I think heavy showers can be so isolated that they can be quite different. Festival rain in 2011 was definitely higher, for example.

Nah, LAWN - it's just that they had the mowers on it a day or two before the other fields had their latest haircut, so it's been drying out even more in the beautiful weather. Further evidence that the State of the Ground is spectacular!

The brown stuff is cut grass that's dried. It looked very green and lush before it was chopped.

Close enough for us to take one for the team but far enough away for it not to be a problem! Happy 40th for Tramlines!

[Flysheet]

Just driven from Pylle to Pilton, had a peek from the top of the hill, Looks very dry and they're watering the tracks.

[deebeedoobee]

Still going to bring my walking boots but ONLY as a precaution! Can't wait to be waiting in full sun on the Wednesday

Wednesday in 2007 was dusty.

[nikkic]

If you were offered the ground/weather of 2015 right now, would you stick or twist? 

[Junglist1981]

People are definitely going far too early with their weather excitement, like a bunch of tories rubbing their hands with glee at a potential election landslide  

Been here before more than a few times, lets see what it's saying next Wednesday...
