Yep me too. Absolutely dreadful .. beaming sun at 7am cooking you like a baked potato after 2 hours sleep - and they decided to remove the coverings for some reason!! Never again.

Looks like bloody amazing festival weather down on the farm today.

Hope Jo Wiley's airstream is air conditioned.

It is currently what I would call perfect festival weather. It is warm, slightly hazy rather than beating sun, with a very light breeze. Just right for watching bands and moving around the site.

Amazingly so as well. Not sure I can remember a situation deteriorating so rapidly over night!!

The thunder literally woke me up, don't think that's happened before!

It is that. A few spinkles due tomorrow amongst the sunshiiiiine, but other than, for me absolutely perfect Glastonbury weather.

I think Yesterday and Wednesday would have been tough though. I loved 2010, but it broke me physically, more so than Glastonbury normally does.

Absolutely brilliant, keep the reports coming over the next few days,  I assume the ground is also perfect.  This couch is comfy but not as welcome as one of those painted railway sleepers scattered round the site or a bench outside the Bread and Roses bar. Watching the crowd scenes on i player I am ‘ greetin like a wee bairn’ 😢😁

The last two days were lovely! I've hardly left the garden but looks like today is gonna be an indoorsy day boooo!!

No storm tho... yet!

Wrong side of the pennines! Scorchio over here.

Had the briefest spattering of rain while sat on the decking under a gazebo with a few friends last night, then got a thunder and lightning show in the distance. 
a very short spell of rain around 7am this morning and nothing since. Problem is the forecast is for lots of rain around 8-9pm tonight - just when we want it to be nice to celebrate my mum’s birthday.

Put it this way, you’ll need a good mallet for your tent pegs.

suns out this afternoon just to warm things up a bit more

@Wellyboot jinxed me. Just after I took that pic the clouds got dark and the thunder is brewing. It’s going to be a wet one!

I've been told she does hold a grudge to be fair. 

[Wellyboot]

😂😂 hahhaha!! Serves him right for showing off 😛

[sedra]

Good job I haven’t put up the tent in the garden - it’s meant to be 45mph winds tomorrow 😲 plus a bit of rain  in Bournemouth - at least it will keep the blinking numptys off the beach (🙄) . 

 

[squirrelarmy]

It’s arrived!

[deebeedoobee]

So campers would have had a relief from morning heat and be able to sleep in. Yes it’s raining but bright. Slight wind too. Looks like it would have been a rain coat on/ rain coat off kinda day.

still a lovely temperature

Been hammering down in Bristol a fair bit this morning.

Glad we don’t live in Bristol then 😀 suns out and it’s stopped raining here now. Just in time for the breakfast/ long drop run

[xploit]

rain just makes it soft underfoot  save the hard impact of running about the site - always look for positives

[tumbles]

N Somerset got some last night and windy around 2am but now suns out. Probably just dampened down the dust. Doesn’t look like much more today now 

[Wellyboot]

Its been raining up here but I'm not surprised 😕 

Hopefully it will brighten up soon then I can sit out 😊

The only reasons I coped with Benicassim are that nothing started until the evening, and we had an apartment rather than tents.  No way I could have done a daytime festival and/or camping in weather like that.

Oppressive, is what the heat was. (think I was there same year as you CalGon).

Taking a hammock saved my life. 

[Crazyfool01]

Its loads cooler today .... overnight rain .... overcast but id probably describe it as very decent festival weather today .... The bars would be trading well ....

 Worthy is currently basking in sunshine. Glorious

Unfair. We’ve had to sack off our Finkley Farm booking. Persistent rain in Andover.
