Also dreading the thermal meltdown I'm probably going to suffer from this weekend

Really?  I figured theyd jack up the price for them on site. 

I bought some in 2015 and they were reasonably priced and very comfy. Actually worked out cheaper than some of the stores near where I lived in central London

[jparx]

I'm just glad the festival isn't in Nottingham. Just been waiting in the rain for an hour for my bus to work due to a crash and flooding. It's the apocalypse here.

[RossTC]

Absolutely hammering it down in Bristol this morning flash flooding. however drove south to Taunton and the rain had eased and has now stopped where i am. Should dry pretty quickly but hopefully the real heavy stuff missed the site as it was seriously coming down!

OK last opportunity to buy some wellies. I've already got two pairs of shoes including some high top converses I'm willing to get messed up, plus I'm coming by coach and I have heaps of stuff to carry already. What do you guys think? 

I didn't take wellies in 2010 and was absolutely fine - in fact I only had flipflops.

I'm not taking them this year - DMs and sandals. I've said it.

Briddj THANK YOU for all your efforts. 

[mjfromthelane]

More importantly, how we looking for the next 24 hours? Sufficient drying time?

[The Toad.]

Lather this toad in sunscream and watch me sizzle!

You guys need to choose your words better.

Some If us have just recovered from Download where comments such as ‘a bit of rain will clear the air’ or ‘we need some rain to keep the dust down’  could have possibly resulted in a lynching, ha ha.

Cheers mate. Hopefully it holds off for the cricket.

Hasn’t rained all morning (I’m central now), though would say the overheads look like textbook swing bowling conditions! Win the toss and bowl.

 (I’m working from home today and I’ve got Sky ?)

I'm from Heywood too! Very small world. Have a good festival guys.

And a special thanks to @briddj& @Aragornfor the weather analysis/updates. It's very much appreciated.

This rain has got me worried, I’ve only packed hot weather stuff. It’ll be fine, right? How was the temperature last night on site? I’ll be ok with leggings and jumper?

Dont think it's anything to worry about, it was as per the forecast, temps still high for the festival.

It'll probably be cold at night - so it depends how cold you get!

[sprocketrocket]

Guys, we'll be alright. 

[Aragorn]

If Efestivals did Ensembles this is probably the best ensemble in the world 

Somerset is bone dry - all bar 1-2 runs in total agreement and even those odd few show nothing of note.  

[Aragorn]

temps look good too

Due to my disorganisation yesterday when it was ideal washing drying weather in the garden, but I forgot to put it out - I found my washing still damp today  ? So due to the rain outside now I am preparing for the predicted hot weather by sticking the central heating on for a bit! ? hoping the last minute bits I need are dry by the time I finish packing!! 

Central heating on in my house too after I left my hoodie on the line last night and it was wetter this morning than when it came out of the machine

Entirely proportional to the amount of cider I’ve had ?

Can’t see the Tor yet but it’s dry and brightening up. Getting warmer again too.

It's been an honour and a privilege to be part of this thread! Thank you @briddj and @Aragorn for your dedication! NFR NFC really held out in the end!

I'm heading off soon to queue overnight. I want to say another massive thank you to everyone here for a really fun couple of weeks. It's been really educational too.

If you see me or my flag (I hope that breeze keeps it aloft!) come say hi. I've got keyrings and pins to give away.

See you in the fields pals!

Do still pack for it to be cold at night, it's always a bit of a surprise especially after a roasting day

[Padjeq]

I've spent an entire month worried about camping in slurry. Now it's upon us and it turns out I'm going to burn to death at the hottest glastonbury on record.
