Chucked it down on the Sunday morning that year as well mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember standing around in prolonged rain for quite a few acts, and stages shut down/were delayed because of lightning. I remember that really well, I was at the Pyramid and you could see if coming towards the festival, the sky went really dark. When they shut down the stage and power, I ran to The Cornish Arms. They were still selling beer because they were using the casks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not too cold. The two cooler days are the ones where you’re also moving heavy gear across site. A light cooling breeze is perfect for that. 25 degrees is perfect outdoor drinking weather, suncream will be needed for some and it won’t be oppressive heat inside the tents. There’s also just a touch of moisture in the air which will keep those who worry about dust happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember a Glastonbury where I've just stood getting soaked during so many performances. 2011 maybe? Warpaint - Big Audio Dynamite - Radiohead - U2 was almost pure rain.

Remember because I put my back out getting dressed in my tent that morning, and trying to get around site without aggravating it where it got a bit slippy was a pain. Proper miserable Sunday morning bimble that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper miserable Sunday morning bimble that was. I can only recall as I went in a bit too heavy on the booze and narcs on the Saturday night during (and after) I had watched Leftfield in Silver Hayes and was really struggling to get going that morning...woke up to rain and decided to just lie there until it stopped which in hindsight worked well as by the time it had stopped I felt ok 'ish' again!

I know you can get thunder in cool weather but they are more likely after a period of heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
