Can I be a little controversial here?

The wind on Friday to Sunday, coupled with no rain, would make the dust pretty unpleasant all weekend.

You either want a little bit of rain, or less wind.

Obvs, less wind is the correct answer.

Wait what just happened to BBC weather app? Sudden massive improvement since checking earlier today - hoping this is right 🤞 by Sunday afternoon a sprinkle of rain will be absolutely fine

Surely far less unpleasant than piss down rain 🌧? But less wind too would be even better.

I would always take wellies to a festival. With the ground compacted by so many feet it doesn't take much rain to create a quagmire. And there is a good chance of rain over the weekend. 

 

But the main reason is the toilets. I would never venture into them in anything other than wellies! Not all festival goers are decent folk with good toilet habits. I can never understand people going in flip-flops! 

Oh and I take disposable gloves as well.

Yep, very brave to have an open toe!

Less wind solves sound issues but if you didnt pack a bandana or even a scarf then thats on them.

Just the odd shower to keep the dust down. WHAT AM I SAYING?

That's what i mean though - chucked it down once but then dry. What if doesn't chuck it down this year but there is 3 days of on/off very light rain (on previously dry ground)? Is there an example of that in recent years? Would the ground still eventually get really muddy?

Nah.

Dust? DUST?! 

In all seriousness, the wind can absolutely do one to preserve the sound quality. Nothing worse than being towards the back half of a crowd and hearing the sound swirl from one side to the other.

Nice one. I'll be back next year even if I'm not going. Now that would be pointless.

I'm on this year and I ain't bloody going....

[AlexOvd]

I'd love to see other apps/websites flowing up, for now still the same. Last time MetOffice was optimistic (basically yesterday morning) it ended up worse. Hopefully this will be the one 😃

Netweather has Pilton with only showers on Saturday evening, Friday and Sunday dry...

[Fake Encore]

It's clear that someone at the BBC has not got a ticket and this is how they are deriving their entertainment. They have us all on strings, STRINGS.

Sorry, it does show bits of rain overnight but still seems an improvement on what it showed before
