Now worried for 2005 like flash flooding. Whilst they’ve improved the drainage I wouldn’t be camping on bottom of any slopes if forecast suggests any likelihood of storms.

Could end up being a disaster though as it could bring thunder and upwards of 20mm+ rain in an hour...

We may need to start crossing fingers and toes folks!

I’m still being hopeful. 

Met office are showing Sun pretty much all day Friday this week and sun showers in to Tuesday.

The basic weather app on my phone is saying constant rain for 10 days.

Luckilly, that app is often wrong.

Okay, so we're now worrying that a freak occurrence that has happened once in the history of the festival, and still didn't create a full event mudbath, is going to happen?!

Not worrying but just stating there is a risk attached to plume scenarios.

[briddj]

What were the temperatures like in 2005 during the rain? Was it warm, or cold?

I actually think some are worrying that they are not worrying enough so have added new worry rules that take no account of reality.

The weather "guru's" on netweather are going mental about the possible upper air temperatures for next week. 

Still too early to predict the kind of temps they are looking at

Hot and sunny on the Weds.

Extinction March was not a joke.

The forecast for Pilton from this afternoon until Sunday is dry, the site will be dry.

 

After that it's guesswork at the moment.

I remember getting pretty sunburnt on the Weds/Thurs of 2005 before the thunderstorms. We were one of the flooded victims at the bottom of the hill so didn't last the rest of the weekend unfortunately (also due to gf waking up with mumps that morning).

Reading the weather thread gives me the sort of palpitations that, erm, other things do

[Stocksey]

I predict there is going to be a beautiful sunset this evening. At which point we will all (except @The Nal) be feeling much more confident on the conditions of next week.

I can feel it in me waters

Fuck the weather! As Gav would say... I'm just going to soak up the atmosphere.

Make sure you pitch up your tent first. I love Gav!

Very warm. Everyone was sunburnt before it... and one of my friends only realised it was a bad idea to be out dancing in the storm when he got back to his tent and realised he'd left it open and had no way of getting dry until the sun came back out. ??
