Sunday-Tuesday is basically going to bring about the same, if not more, rain than in 2016, and with less drying time. But isn’t it different if it’s constant small amounts that saturated the ground whilst they’re doing everything onsite vs one big down pour that can run off.

If it does I'll buy all the " I hope it's 7°c" dweebs an ice cream on the Saturday Exhibit 2005 But it was all sorted a few days later, with twice as much rain, people wandering about and far worse drainage. I don't want it to come true, but I think we'll still be sat on the ground watching Pyramid acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t it need to be raining day after day from here on in for problems to occur? The ground will soak up a good one off pour down no prob! Temperature not time is the issue if the site does get loads of rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great entertainment for the spectators. He’s probably never even been to Glastonbury ever. If he was called techno cow id maybe buy it but I haven’t seen any horses there.

Billy Corgan's Ego Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'd take Indian monsoon rain for a few hours on Sunday if it meant we have a dry festival. That latest run is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrential rain the weekend before and the site was just mud for the entire festival? I'm pleased to say, despite superficial similarities, this is really very, very different to 2016. That year had many days of heavy rain making the ground really soggy and saturated. And then it kept showering, preventing the ground from having a chance to dry out. One flash flood on rock hard ground with a very low water table is really different. Especially since Sunday is still a few days out. Most of that water will run right off and into the rivers, ditches and underground pipes and out to sea by the time we arrive. If this is all we get, the sitting down will be fine. I bet we'll be able to sit on the ground at The Park on the Wednesday. Edited June 14, 2022 by stuartbert two hats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) The forecast rain on Sunday and Monday is nowhere near enough to cause any problems from the current position we're in. And then the main music days are pleasant temps, a max of 24C at midday on one day and there are cries of too hot? Give me a break It's a great run, it's got potential for the best festival weather ever all round. And I mean for everyone, cause obviously 2019 can't actually be topped.

I had it in my head it was the torrential rain on the Friday before that destroyed the site and those videos popped up of water bursting out of the ground. Happy to be wrong though.
