I’ve just been down to Weston and was rather wet. Huge storm over towards Blagdon and Cheddar.  Missing the site once again like last couple of days. Could have been so much worse

Makes it even more depressing when you realise the London centric Beeb are just talking about warm weather in the SE: bugger the yokels in the rest of the country! Been raining here in Staffordshire for 9 days now. Had to empty the garden dog bowl 3 times so far so that's a minimum 300mm of rain!

What are you on about? Did you watch the forecast?? Don't think there was a single mention of London....and I can promise the BBC will be absolutely obsessed by Glastonbury for the next 2 weeks...

[Ohinever]

Not raining in Pilton at the mo.

For sure. I'm emotionally drained after the last week. Would quite like to be able to go to bed tonight and wake up on Wed 26th

I don't, I've not bought all my booze or packed yet. I'M NOT READY!!!

Watching everyone depress themselves because it's not a nailed on heatwave from over a week out remains as sad as ever.

It looks just fine. Go look at the charts we've had some other years at this point

This one's quite hard because it seems to have been shitting it down all over the country for the last few weeks, so it's more difficult than usual to imagine things being fine and dry at the festival.

It's not logical, but we're talking about human beings here.

I cant buy booze til we get over to England. Will take me 10 mins to pack. Couple of pairs of shorts, a hoody, few tshirts and underwear. Toothbrush, paste and deodorant. Sorted.

Quick update of the rain table... 

Mainly to reassure that we're well inside 2016 level at the moment.

Indeed well within the 2017 levels.

blue sky over tipi field and a dirty big grey cloud over the John Peel.

For those who were there... How long did the rain fall for in 2005? Was it an hour, a few hours?

Started about half 2 in the morning, stopped about 10am. Something like that.

A good few hours. And it was the heaviest rain I've ever seen in the UK. I thought my tent was going to cave in. I was on Pennards and got flooded out. Then the sun came out after the deluge and I dried everything out within about an hour. It was very bizarre. Walked down the hill and saw the Police divers checking tents. ?

The great storm of 2005 was a very scary experience for me, my heavily pregnant missis and my 3 year old. We were up in the small family field (now staff camping I think) and right next door to a massive pylon.

It just barfed it down in Evesham (Worcs/Glos boarder) and now the sun is out. Very heavy whilst it lasted though.

[Ducky89]

Currently in Yeovil, it’s so sunny! If it’s like his down the road in Pilton, anything wet will be drying very quickly!

[tumbles]

Sun is out in Portishead now, glorious. Might actually have to attend to the garden at this rate
