Forgot about these muthaflippers! Better not be back!

I hear they are back, little ankle rolling sob

This is a sexy run so far (up to Sat 00:00) seems slightly less rain Tuesday, then it's pretty much the same, with that rain storm Friday pushed further North West away from us!!!

High is building in quicker and stronger too, but temps look similar so far.

What do you wear? I’ve got some adidas running trainers with plenty of support and cushioning as well as very breathable top mesh. 
 

Why anyone would want to stifle their feet in walking boots is beyond me. 

Trail shoes. They're breathable but still have much better soles for dealing with stones and woodchip.

The 06Z has been a little bugger over the last week. What will it does to us on this fine Sunday?

THROUGH TO GATES OPEN

Biggest risk of the worst rain today seems to be around 3pm, so let's see what that brings.

After today, it's dry until the early hours of Tuesday when there is some rain. But now there is no Tuesday daytime rain of any note.

If this comes to pass, the ground will be bone dry for gates open on Wednesday. And at that time it's totally dry with temps of 19.

And another UPGRADE for Wednesday, with even the light rain now gone. Dry, with highs of 21-23.

THURSDAY

Totally dry, highs of 22.

FRIDAY

Totally dry, highs of 22-23.

And on this run the rain it further north than in the previous run. Another UPGRADE.

SATURDAY

Totally dry, highs of 23.

SUNDAY

Totally dry, highs of 25-26.

SUMMARY

Just look at those pictures!

a degree or two cooler on Sunday, it really is almost perfect, a little too much rain on Tuesday still, but less!!!

Don't worry about what the netweather charts show for Saturday, that rain nearby is not rain, just clouds... (maybe a mm of drizzle tops)

I think we’re all going to be having issues with pegging after that run.

You're right, Weds was the hottest day. Whole festival was dry I think but it did get very windy over the weekend.

It did rain a bit Fri morning/afternoon, but very briefly, and was dry again quickly. Can't remember any other days tho. Was lovely temp wise

Really looking great. Just hoping with this nice welcoming weather on Wed, the queue at PDA goes down quickly and I can just breeze in when I arrive (around 1:30pm).

[T-Mouse]

Pegging issues possible but with a potential Sunday fingering. I'll take that

I think we can start to feel some genuine enthusiasm now - the hardcore waterproofs might stay in the car.

I've always got a pile of retired running Adidas running shoes that I save for wrecking at festivals.

Finally venturing into the thread this year, forecast looks decent but I'm with Fuzzy tbh, it's a few degrees too hot esp Sunday, hopefully the 'highs' might not materialise. 

My perfect fest would be 19-21 degrees, sunny with plenty of cloud cover, a few light showers, mostly in the morning while most are in the tent to keep the dust at bay.
