Sunday looks too cold. Twist.

I’m over north bristol today and it’s so say 20-21 and yet it’s fucking sweltering hot. The humidity factor is going to make some days proper sweaty even at low 20s never mind 28!

As a further sacrifice to the weather gods I've just purchased a rain mac, just in case.

[Aragorn]

Over in cardiff humid and close. Rank

Pouring in Glasgow now. Hoping we’re using up all the rain clouds up here!

I read that as ‘Glasto’... don’t do that; I’ll crack. 

[grilladelphia]

muggy AF in N London today!

[Pinhead]

Just watched BBC weather - they're really emphasising those thunderstorms overnight tonight - 30mm plus if it scrapes Pilton...

[Pinhead]

Temps look to be down more like 23 as the winds turn round to NE to SW later in week with a good breeze.

I've always attached the foil blankets to the outside of my tent, which is pretty effective. Do they work just as well if you put them on the inner tent bit?

I've only ever done it to the gap between the inner and outer (so attached to the outside of the inner if you have double skin), so can't make a comparison (and I've only done it in 2017 and at a couple of other non-Glasto scorchers). It's not too noisy if you do it on the inside and less chance of blowing away!

Just had some thunder and lightning here. Hopefully your flight isn’t delayed too long!

Two hours, they’re not boarding at the mo, not been allocated a gate yet even though due off in 12 mins!

Was proper bumpy on the way up this morning and it’s one of those little props. They’ve just diverted a flight to Newcastle as well

Will definitely get some rain in the next 24 hours, which will presumably help dampen the dust down, but as someone else mentioned, it looks like the heaviest stuff will bypass Pilton!

My trusty Quechua fresh and black wasn't even hot inside during the Wednesday afternoon / evening heat of 2017. Proved an outstanding buy and will be coming along with me bright and early Wednesday morning this year too!

Looking at the last couple of hours progress, I'm starting to question this. The rain appears to have swung north a bit, instead of east. If you are in Devon can you blow towards Southampton please.

Urrrm is there a reason my phone's accue weather has just started predicting thunder storms on Saturday morning????

It’s not mud there talking about besides .I’ll not get into another discussion re drinking water from the taps. I don’t do it, always bought bottled Glastonbury Spring bottled water from  the stalls, now they’ve stopped that I’m hoping someone sells alternatives. 

They will be selling cans. Just bring your own reusable bottle to tip it into if you want the option of resealing.
