D-Low Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Not paid much attention to the ups and downs here and been checking the BBC and it's been giving sunny every day for days now. Then suddenly bam out of nowhere Rain showers on Friday. That coupled with this low pressure on the current run is dreadful news. It's getting worse isn't it 😞 😞 😞 Edited June 16, 2022 by D-Low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going by coach so limited to how much I can take, originally only planning on taking a single hoody. If that gets wet the first day I’m screwed so if the weather’s not looking great something else has to be left behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvoram Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 wow, some of you lot are totally bonkers... There's 8 days left until the festival starts properly... Just like everyone was saying not to get too excited by the nice forecasts, as it could change, the same applies here... IT CAN AND MOST LIKELY WILL CHANGE! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 The way the weather is looking at the moment, I'm going. Mainly because of course I'm going. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbizarre Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 So it turns out this weeks weather would have been absolutely fine (heat-phobics excluded) as the washout weekend has melted away. So chances next weekend will flip as well to something not resembling a quagmire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bags73 Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Very unpredictable at the moment and plenty of time for it to go either way. One positive is the lack of torrential rain in the lead up so 2016 levels of mud on arrival look less likely. I'm expecting it to be more of a 2004 weather vibe (a mix of sunshine, showers and rain on the last day) than 2007 (awful). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmoman Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 There seem to be some unrealistic expectations on here, a totally dry festival is the exception, there is almost always some rain at some point, none of the predictions so far have been that bad and we know the site at the moment is bone dry, at worst it's going to be an average festival weatherwise, certainly not a bad mudfest (unless we get a 2005 style once in a century storm), at best it could well be a classic, little or no rain and no scorching temps for those that fry (I don't mind them). It's still looking pretty good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levitz Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) I was fine with 19 degrees and cloudy, in fact that was perfect. Don't mind the odd downpour if it's short and doesn't bring on a mud fest. Edited June 16, 2022 by Levitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
