sedra Posted October 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 2007 was miserable - constant rain and horrid weather- we actually left Sunday morning. Was almost as bad as 1998 - torrential rain right through the football being shown on the outside cinema. Over the years I have been: 84 - ok, 86 -ok a bit of rain 95 - hot; 97 & 98 wet and very muddy 99& 2000-fine; 02& 03 both ok but chilly ( 04 missed out on tix) 05 - thunderstorm and flooding on Friday but nicely warm and dried up by Sunday. 07 - wet mudfest, (08 I was in Oz) 09- a bit mixed but was both hot and muddy! 2010- baking hot, 2011- wet and muddy, 2013- mixed, 2014-mixed, 2015-mixed, 2016 - yuck mud , 2017- fine, 2019- hot!! and it’s never too soon to think about the weather - especially when it’s wet and miserable outside like tonight!

Remember, (with all things being equal) at all moments all people trying have exactly the same chance of getting through - the fact that you got through 5 minutes earlier doesn't come into it. There's nothing average about random.

But anyway, after 2 cracking summers I reckon next year's Glasto is going to be a quagmire. It's how it goes. One of these guys gets it.

Avalon_Fields Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 We’ll all know the true weather outlook....on page 1,274 of this thread (And not before!). In the meantime I’ll be driven insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefykoala Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 My American husband will be in attendance in 2020. He has a theory that all British people lie about the weather to keep tourists away, because each time he's visited it's been blazing hot. So, I suspect it will be blazing hot. But then on the flipside, all the Glastonburys I've been to have been cold and wet. But on the contrary, we're going to be carrying in a LOT of wet weather gear, so sods law says we won't need any of it. Then again, every festival my husband has been to with me has been cooler than normal. So take your pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been also observing the amount of rain but thinking to myself* "didn't it rain a lot in winter 2015-2016?" ? *Only to myself as my friends have banned me from talking about Glasto weather this far out. Headliners and fancy dress outfit ideas that we inevitably never wear only at this stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fairly average, maybe slightly below. The real damage was mostly the rain in June. The Weather Thread has been sorely lacking in good, pointless, graphs so far this year, so starting in July 2012 for the 2013 festival (because going back any further makes the graph unreadable): Notes: Year quoted is the Festival year and 12 months lead up, so for example August 2016 is on the 2017 line. Rainfall data is in mm and is from Yeovilton which is about 10 miles south of the site. Edited November 12, 2019 by incident 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, unless every month has much higher than average rainfall from now I'm not going to give it much thought until mid April. Then the madness really starts.

gooner1990 Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Have we ever had three hot and dry years in a row? Certainly not since I started going in 2004... 1999-2003 was the last nice and relatively dry streak with four festivals in a row with decent weather!

Would have had three great weather festivals in a row if we hadn’t had a fallow year in 2018. Had a holiday in pilton during the week the festival would have been on and walked the deserted site every day, lovely weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
