Well, mostly dry anyway. It was the downpours the few days before that turned it into the mud bath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyisRFC Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Put up with an hour of rain at Slam Dunk today, that will please the weather gods enough to ensure a dry Glastonbury right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to a buddy who is on site yesterday evening, and it's 'dusty and dry and looking to stay that way' so I am calmed 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvoram Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Still not a drop here in Derbyshire for what feels like an eternity. Ground is rock hard and cracked, grass is needing supplemental water. They've been giving out rain for days, but it just doesn't seem to come, or if it does it misses us. Forecast is for some heavy rain this evening. Let's see if it happens. I can see a load of heavy rain on the radar that looks like it's hammering the south east and moving in a north eastern direction, looks like the very edge could hit us or miss us. I actually hope it hits, garden needs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacking it off for a long sesh down All Bar One seems like a fair trade-off ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooter Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 As prefest weather has been it's been worse, at least the temps are decent. A few glimmers of sunshine and slight breeze and I'd say that forecast isn't much to panic about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few days of rain pre festival mixed with dry, sunny days of 18-19c is absolutely fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt' 2007 dry weather leading up to it and then a months worth during a few hours on the friday night...and that's how you got flooding.

4AssedMonkey Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Still too early to have much confidence in long range forecasts but I'm starting to concede that it's not looking great at this stage. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuwarr Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Let's not forget just how abysmal the forecast was for 2019 about two weeks out. So much can and will change! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
