Zoo Music Girl Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Holy fuck this thread moves so quickly it's basically all I have time to check at the moment! Given what Gav was forecasting just a week ago I think this is all very positive news guys. Believe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other festival called Hurricane (I know, its kinda asking for it). It had had some cancellations on Friday and the entire Saturday but resumed back to normal on Sunday. All I tried to say is that it might turn pretty sour even though the forecast does not look as bad right now. With this forecast it is pretty unpredictable.

K2SO Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'm packing now, and realised I've already packed 20 pairs of socks because I dunno whether I'm gonna need ankle socks, boot socks or standard cotton ones. Oh dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these festivals "arena" festivals, where they can kick everyone out into the campsite/local town and away from the big structures until it passes? Can't be doing that at the big G. Anyway, it's gonna be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred quimby Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Well watch the local news(I'm outside bath) and they mentioned Glastonbury, seemed to indicate that that the festival may be ok and the Thunderstorm will only be Tuesday. Did say it would be ALOT of rain which would not be good for gates opening. However he said we would need to keep a close eye as it may miss altogether. reckon Thursday was no rain on the little symbol things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 A tent got hit by lightning in 2005. As I recall, the festival did not (I repeat, did not) get cancelled. I just didn't get to see The Dead 60s (shame, but not the end of the world). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually emptied the entire campsite (lol they forgot to evacuate me cause I slept through it all) according to safety laws and I don't know how they would do it at glasto. Anyways, fingers crossed. It'll be fine. I'll be there from Monday anyways with Oxfam and survive the worst downpours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gherkin8r Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'm at the point of near apathy now regardless. If it's a mudfest I will just crack open a big bag of who gives s fuck and get on with it 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotchilidog Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Not going to lie, this thread was much more fun this afternoon. However re thunderstorms they tend to be fairly localised rather than cover a whole region. Pretty sure I remember sitting on the south hill in 09 and watching a thunderstorm in the distance on the other side of the valley. It was actually pretty fun to watch. I'd be much more worried if we had persistent rain threatening. It looks like the farm can cope with the odd storm this year, I don't think we'll have five days of mud, one or two maybe, and we can all cope with that right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northtim Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 You guys sure find the negatives. I'm hearing heatwave, you’re on festival evacuations due to thunder and lightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodgey123 Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 This thread never ceases to amaze me in how the atmosphere and outlook of all posters can change almost instantly! It seems whatever the forecast at the minute then there will always be a group of members lining up to bring their pessimism out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleinerkiwi Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Honestly: very worst scenario: Multiple thunderstorms day after day (super unlikely, already happened to me once, won't happen again) Worst scenario: cold and constant drizzle. We are good with a bit thunder and a bit of mud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
