Still doesn't look that bad in fairness, some showers hitting us at some point on both days but it's hardly torrential rain they're predicting.

Yes, @waynewdk back in the day, the Brother's Bar would do a thing where they gave away tokens to get free pints prior to the festival. Some years they were like poker chips, another they were bracelet things. Sadly they stopped doing that quite a way back now.

Superscally Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 3 minutes ago, Greenelk said: Thursday afternoon 2007 was when the rain started. We were sitting near the Brothers Bar, two of us had gone to get a round in, and had some tokens, and ended up walking away with more than we could carry, so we started chatting to people in the vicinity and sharing our good fortune out. That turned into a couple of hours of yacking (And leaving our friends thirsty) but it was lovely, but it was by then that the skies had turned dark, and soon after we took shelter as it began... And then the coats came on, to be taken off maybe three times a day...to be put back on 6 mins later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 2016 was fine apart from the obvious. The overhead conditions were not bad at all. I only remember it raining on the Sunday during ELO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Monday morning we got back to car at 10:30am and only got out of the car park (pushed by a tractor) at 10pm. 2016 was an absolute stroll in the park compared.

stopwn1981 Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Any precipitation is not on! But if needs must showers are manageable. Stood in the pissing down rain for hours on end as the ground goes to shit is miserable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkic Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Come on then weather boffins, let’s hear your predictions. In percentage terms, will there…. A. Be any rain at all and B. Will we have a deluge which renders the site a mud bath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasto Weatherwatch Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 GFS 12Z rolling out. Nothing over Pilton directly but more rain spreading from the South on Thursday evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield Steve Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) The midday run of the German ICON is now out. It agrees with many of the models and brings showers and thunderstorms up from France on the Thursday night. These will be very hit and miss, we may get loads, we might get nothing. as with every other model now, it brings the rain in on Friday, but a little earlier than some models…so it might have actually moved through in time for Billie… it then gives us a showery day on Saturday, with a significant lump of rain heading up over SE England - one to keep an eye on… then it leaves the low sitting over the U.K. on Sunday, so another day of sunshine and showers, though more organised bands of rain can not be ruled out. What is certain, is that it won’t be a dry Glastonbury… Edited June 20, 2022 by Sheffield Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolygonWindow Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I look at this GFS and it tell me it’s gonna shit down all day Sat and Sun but surely that’s not correct? Does it look a lot worse than what will actually happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
