Interesting that the weather adheres to the Scottish/English border so well. We ain't having any of your English thunderstorms up here thank you very much.

Serious question, what do you do if a lightning storm hits the site?

One thing I've never got- why is there high pressure and low pressure but never medium pressure? 

It's all relative. The low pressure/high pressure is a comparison to your surrounding area.

Think mountain ranges... if you're at the top of a peak in the Cairngorms you're high compared to the valley below you... on the scale of the Himalaya's you're still low, but that doesn't help when you fall off a cliff.

Grab a large piece of sheet metal and head for the largest tree.

I'm tempted to analyse how frequently you've posted in weather threads in each of the previous years - see if a high-post year matches up with lovely sunshine.  Probably as useful as an actual weather forecast...

Go to the Winchester (Avalon Inn)  and wait for it to all blow over

First 30 seconds, you dance around and shout "Wheeeeyyyyyy" with everyone else.

Then you feel a drip run down your back and follow the stampede to the nearest shelter with beer taps.

Assess the situation, if it's blowing over, have a nice pint and listen to everyone's stories of horror from previous years. If it's setting in, have a word with yourself, neck a couple of shots and get back out there for the sake of your Queen and Country.

Hide in the closest tent and wait for all the stages to start again. 

It's happened before... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/entertainment-arts-28067023/glastonbury-festival-lightning-closes-all-stages

 Not ideal but would take this over rain during the actual fest

[briddj]

It's all still looking brilliant for the start of the festival! Maybe 20 minutes for the full report.

Temperatures have notched up AGAIN.

Weren’t thunderstorms forecast for today and yesterday? I think there’s a warning for thunderstorms over a whole day, doesn’t necessarily mean a whole day of storms, just the chance of some

Don't stand  next to a selfish flag waver. Infact you should retreat to a safe distance and enjoy. ?

Worthy Farm right on the very edge of it! So chances of getting hit too bad are very small.

Everyone has to lay down exactly where they are and wait for it to pass.
