god job festival isn't the weekend before because that looks like could be real hot and we certainly wouldn't want that, right kids?

Another wretched GFS run this morning. It's refusing to budge from a cold, wet weekend. 

[steviewevie]

this weekend would be perfect, can't they quickly move it?

How many times in the last 10 festivals has it been a genuine mud bath. 

Quite a lot. Off the top of my head: 2016, 2014, 2011. Plus 2015 and 2008 had a least a day or two of wellies.

BBC Weather and MetCheck both currently looking lully. Keep the faith

I've been to about 10 festivals...probably 3 have been total mudbaths, and about 3 have been totally dry all the way through, and the rest have been a mix.

Slight concern looking at morning charts is GFS seems to be lining up a massive trough to sit over us next week. UKMO disagrees and says dry and settled.

Remember last year? ECM and UKMO went for the plume, GFS went for shit weather. GFS gradually fell in line with other two. Fingers crossed for that.

Doesn't GFS have a plume for end of next week...which then gives way to unsettled weather for festival week?

Yeah actual words help.

Might do a whip round for you and @FuzzyDunlop to have a holiday in Iceland.

My memory is shit, but I recall 2013 and 2009 as both being mostly fine/dry with a couple of showers?

2009 rained from Thursday night to Friday afternoon. Was muddy but cleared up by early evening.

2013 rained all day Thursday.

I've been to 13 full festivals and it's rained to some degree at every single one I've attended.  The only years I've not been for the full weekend have been 2010 and 2019, when the sun shone gloriously throughout.

Make of that what you will.
