I have mates onsite doing the Block 9 build, they have been doing it for years, and they told me that the ground conditions onsite are already a fair bit worse than they were in 2016, the last muddy year, described by Eavis as "the muddiest ever". 

they arent allowed to disclose any pictures, but have told me where the artics and heavy machinery have been driving is just pure bog and muck.

Plumes bring epic thunderstorms.

Plume is bang on target in the 06Z. Sadly I have a long meeting in five minutes.....

Check his post history. What a silly billy.

Are we still doing the thing where we claim £5?

So one of the lowest points of the festival which has had a boatload of HGVs stirring it is a bit boggy. Ok. I'd not expect different tbh.

It's glasto Paul the knob end from ditching volunteering. The antibiotic cream obviously isn't working so he is restless.

I have no idea what they're on about--are they excited because its a good thing and will bring lovely weather, or are they excited because its rare, like a meteor hitting the site?

Course they don't. It's 7 days before the festival. Impossible to tell what the weather will be like. The forecast next Monday for the festival weekend will be inaccurate too. 

Yep. I can remember going on Monday with the forecast as complete washout. By Wednesday it was going to be fine.

What are they actually saying?

We could be in for a scorcher with a huge, wet thunderstorm in between?

[briddj]

A fair amount of rain around on the Monday and Tuesday still, but with those temperatures...

23 at midday on Wednesday, though nasty little clouds.....

[Honeybane]

i have a really really horrible feeling there are going to be big thunderstorms

That doesn't tie in with pictures from around the rest of the site, so I think they are having you on tbh

I'd like to tell you either way, but all I can make out is that there will be hot weather next week hopefully not including thunderstorms..

What the Heck do you wear if its that hot and that rainy and you're carrying all your stuff across the site?!

I'm struggling with the "I have mates" part of this.....

[briddj]

I can confirm this would be a wet Wednesday BUT THERE'S A WEEK TO GO.

Those clouds could miss though, is quite borderline isn't it

[briddj]

Right. Meeting. Look forward to catching up later.....

[Mr.Tease]

This is the most messed up weather thread with a week to go in the history of the weather threads! We have a lot less idea of what to expect than usual - now we're looking at ridiculously high temps and heavy rain combo, when a few days ago we were looking at cool, cloudy and light rain

As little as possible, maybe with a poncho.

[Dr Glasto]

Plumes?! Well this is getting interesting...
