Smeble Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Yes perfect, if it had stayed how it was on Wednesday it would have been unbearable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John the Moth Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 And overcast before 9am so no baking tents , totally perfect all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom22 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 It did get a bit chilly at times, but yes best I've experienced. Great that the sun came out on Sunday pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowls Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) No rain gear. No boots. I survived! Bit precarious at times with the light rain, but barely any mud to be seen!! Really happy with the clouds, made it much easier to sleep in the late morning. Wednesday was a bit too hot this year for me. Admittedly it was partly because I had set up camp by 8am - the earliest I've ever managed. Nowhere near enough shade with all the tent stages closed off. Really think something needs to be done to provide more shade in a similar weather forecast, especially before everything gets started.

rubenz Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Freezing cold on Sunday night though, although I think I was coming down with Glasto flu early this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisO89 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Yeah. The best Glastonbury weather-wise I've experienced in the 5 years I've been going. Arrived early Thursday morning so avoided the queues and heatwave of wednesday and spent the entire weekend in trainers, t-shirt and shorts. Wellies remained in the car and didn't need a waterproof or anything more than a hoodie during the night. Would rate 5* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashkin Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Yes, basically perfect. The weather we've been waiting for all these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The60ftOctopus Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'd give it a 9/10. It was far too hot to do anything on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhh Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Perfect bar three hours trying to get into Gate D. Best Glasto weather since 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaf Nobby Burton Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Exceptional weather. I actually enjoyed Wednesday. It was too hot, but for me it made it special. There was a guy by the cider bus dousing people with a hosepipe which was just heaven. It made me appreciate a nice cold drink from each bar even more too. Of course if it had stayed like that it would have been different but it didn't, it cooled down nicely and never rained when it mattered even though it barley did anyway. Perfect.

stuartbert two hats Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Perfect is a very strong word, but I'm struggling to think of a better year. 1999/2000 were good years, but I've no idea off they were actually better. The fact that you might have to go back to the last century to find a better year says it all. A reet cracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyfaddle Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Apart from Wednesday which got way too hot for my liking (but it was dry at least!), damn near perfect conditions for my 11th Glastonbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomfromStroud Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Agreed... perfect. Even a bit of drizzle to remind me when I should be snoozing.Perfect.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy0808 v5 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I nearly died on Wednesday in that heat. Although the factor 50 worked it's magic that day and not yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1984 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Absolutely perfect - especially now the five-hour queue to get in via Gate B on Weds is a distant memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I got so goddamn tanned/burnt on the Wednesday but luckily I didn't actually have to do much that day so could just enjoy it rather than sweating in a crowd. Rest of the week was great, and basically rained in the mornings only so no cause for concern. Just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarion Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 If it had been like wednesday every day it would have been perfect for me. During the weekend the temperatures we're way too low for my liking. Below 20 during summer is just wrong. Too much wind and clouds blocking the sun as well. But I realize british people think differently. It was fun hearing so many people praise the clouds :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie_and_a_pint Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 It was far, far too hot earlier in the week. I arrived on Monday and it took me longer to walk from Gate A to the farm with my kit than it took me to get from Oxfordshire to Gate A by public transport! It's really not a long walk, and my kit wasn't heavy really, but the heat was horrible. When it started to cool down on Wednesday evening it was perfect!

macaloon Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 So glad it cooled down after the Wednesday, if we had got the previous weekends weather it could have been dangerous. Perfect conditions for me.. Trainers all weekend makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.M.V Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Does anyone know if @FuzzyDunlop is alive? Might have burst into flames on Wednesday. Granted Wednesday was too hot. I still have the prickly bubbly red heat rash on my arms but i would take that week over mud anyday. Once the temperatures dropped Wednesday evening it was fantastic. Maybe a little too nippy on Saturday night. Rain came at perfect times, in the mornings to let you have second sleeps and keep the dust down. Cracker.

DeanoL Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Yep, pretty much perfect. Wednesday was especially good for demonstrating to people why you don't want heat like that all weekend! I imagine had we had Thu-Sun weather for the whole festival there'd be a lot more people on this thread moaning about the lack of sun and "how bad can it be?"...
