steviewevie Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 ok...mud vs heat...it will come down to how muddy or how hot, right? I don't want a really wet and muddy glastonbury because it's hard work and grim, and I don't want a really hot one because it's hard work and grim...but if I had to choose...ok...need to go away and think about that...

We could get it all like in 2011. Loads of mud and rain, freezing cold evenings and nights and then too hot when the sun comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think based on the fact we are bringing our 3 kids aged 2, 8 and 9 I'd rather have it too hot than too muddy. Based on the likely difficulty navigating the site in bad mud and keeping them from getting covered in mud from head to toe constantly.

HyperTechnoHorse Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 2019 was only a few degrees off having people dying. It's not enjoyable, it's dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Glastonbury. If its not muddy, im not even sure that it counts. At some point you have to mutter under your breath and hunker under a tent while it smashes down with rain. rain on a tent is one of the greatest sounds in the world, whereas being baked out of your tent at 7am because youre being boiled alive sucks and is shit. I'm team misery on this one, i dont like hot weather much at all. (now seems like a good time to point out i lived in australia for a couple of years, but it was Melbourne primarily, so if you dont like the weather you just have to wait a bit and itll change) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscore Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Call me controversial but I think it's ok to hope for it to be neither muddy or heatstroke-inducingly hot. It's weird that it needs to be a choice. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the upside to it being wet and muddy? Being able to sleep in a little later in the mornings? The thrill of slipping in the mud? taking 3 times as long to get around the site? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird that it needs to be a choice. It would be ideal to have neither. This year the ground conditions look good enough to handle severe downpours so I don’t think mud will be an issue this year. Possibly some brief flash flooding though in parts if the rain is as bad as some of the predictions are showing. If the weather isn’t hot it’s going to be cooler and unpredictable so I’m hoping for it being more on the warmer side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's miserable about having to add endless layers so you aren't shivering the entire time. The heat in 2019 meant that nights had a wild energy about them that can't be beat. I recommend being a fat man, helps lot with the cold at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed90 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Yr are in my experience fairly accurate. In 6 years are people going to be quoting this thread like as an example of weather looking OK 10 days out, then turning?
