Doesn't take much really. You'll find it its just the odd shower though the mud dries up very quickly and its a nice surface.

It won't dry up quickly if it's 15 degrees.

YR have updated!! 😃

Really not good. 😱

Constant mud, no drying temps and Friday has gone to shit. 

Mudbath. Our worst fears have become reality.

Very very worrying.

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 😞 😞 😞

What you see on the apps will probably be a bit behind the latest info...

Damage was done before the festival started site was a quagmire, that's not going to happen this year, forecast leading up should now be accurate and it's not looking bad.

We should organise a dedicated 97 meet. Could talk about it for hours. Great (and awful) memories. Mostly great!

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.

Expectations and desires are not the same thing.

The humidity of the surrounding air will also influence evaporation rate. The "drier" the air, the more thirst it has for water vapour.

Levels of wind also affect evaporation rate.

It's not purely down to temps.

Take note, wannabes. That’s how it’s done.

I didn't say it was. But temperatures absolutely, 100% are the biggest influence.

That's true, you didn't. I worded that completely wrong, apologies!

A couple of people last night expected a warm, dry festival. I think the vast majority knew we were on a knife edge.

Flip flops aren’t great in the mosh pit either tbh.
