He'll see you all in the new State of the ground thread next year. Just keep an eye out for the Mary’s gate puddle.

Just need to find something I can carry whilst running that will measure it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 The chances of Glasto being either a heatwave or a mudbath (or both) surely have to increase year by year (sadly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember us living in the West of Scotland have different criteria that you have. What you reckon is pissing down is just a wee shower to us! 15 degrees is taps aff. Translation , remove your shirt!

No heating on in the house until much later than others around us. I'm still running in shorts and t shirt. Will do for a month or so yet. Hence nowhere to store measuring equipment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyDunlop Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 2019 was horrific weather wise & I survived, & had a good time. It cant be any worse, so in theory I shouldnt be too bothered about the weather..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 The best thing that could happen for easier T-day chances this time next year would be a washout/mudbath in june 2020. there hasnt been a really bad one in what feels like a long time now. Long may that continue but i think the good thing that could come out of a muddy year would be a few less people trying. Imagine if the overriding media coverage of next year was a mud bath. If it was 2 bad years in a row i think it would do the hardcore a real favour in the ticket department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad weather would definitely put off some of the Instagram crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrelarmy Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 There has been a significant change in the route of the jetstream for the last few years. As long as it stays where it is, we should see similar June weather. I’m prepared for another 30 degree Glasto, I did a 36 degree Sziget this year.

It wasnt anything like as difficult as this year though was it. You used to rarely see anyone on this site who had completely missed out on tickets. Now its a lot more common.

But anyway, after 2 cracking summers I reckon next year's Glasto is going to be a quagmire. It's how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
