No wind here in Pilton though. The ground is dry because we only had a bit of rain on Friday morning and a little first thing Saturday. Other than that we have missed all the storms. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. And from what's been said here it's mostly missed 'Piton' anyway, so sounds like BS to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Tease Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 So the consensus at this point seems to be: Next week: shite week after: better glastonbury week: uncertain Hopefully by Wednesday/Thursday, we should have a clearer idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Trends for the last few years seem to have been reasonably picked out 2 weeks before. Big week next week from Wednesday on, all to play for. They sound worried over on Netweather though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of my pre-Glastonbury ritual to get anxious about the weather. Stops me getting anxious about actual important things, in this case moving house in two weeks time....

Beerqueen Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Yep, my thoughts at the moment are almost exclusively: "It's going to be a washout, shit" "never mind, 2016 was tough but I had a ball" "It's going to be a washout, shit" "never mind, 2016 was tough but I had a ball" "It's going to be a washout, shit" "never mind, 2016 was tough but I had a ball" etc, etc, etc until the 25 June. With a little bit of "oh look, the sun's out" or "those clouds look ominous" and adding another pacamac to my pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedra Posted June 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 I think after 2016 the site managers will be prepared for all eventualities- it was pretty exceptional pre-festival rainfall and didn’t help that trackways were buried at Download mudfest the week before and site was so waterlogged. Also they use much more wood chippings and straw nowadays when it gets bad so the market areas aren’t too inaccessible. I am remaining optimistic having survived through some of the worst wet/muddy ones eg 97, 98, 05, 07 ( ugh), 11, 16 over the years. Even 2005 flooding it was sunny after the storm and dried up by Sunday and we were back in trainers. Sunshine and the odd showers, or cloudy would be fine - it’s the torrential downpour and persistent raining we don’t want!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
