Also thanks to all the contributers / debaters and everyone else ii has been such a joy following this tread over the past while,  sleep well and ill see you all tomorrow.

I'm an avid walking shoes promoter but it's so dry here at the minute I'm going for trainers tomorrow instead

These short heavy showers are meaningless.

As long as they’re short (see:2015)

Next heavy band passes to the south of Pilton.

I’m blaming all this rain on the trainers brigade…

[briddj]

And then it's clear when that goes through.

I’d rather the weather be sh*t on the last day. Than over the first few days there 

I'd rather the weather not be sh*t at all.

You’re only jealous because we can outrun the rain.

Leaving wellies at home... Am I to blame for the rain!?

You know this is the dust dampners fault.

Not a problem for the queue at all. 

It's clear right now with one small patch of rain to come in an hour.

9.45pm Front of Gate D queue 

Heavy rain passed through but stopped around 30 minutes ago. Really pleasant late evening now. 

Sudden increase - times 3 or so - increase in the queue, from 1 zig to 2.5 zigs. Those who expected 9pm car park opening now starting to trickle in, looking surprised that there are people who've been here since 4.30pm

How many people there already would you say? Looks quite like peeps are arriving even earlier this year?

[briddj]

 

Hello there everyone in the queue! Let's see what's coming up for the morning, and through the festival on the 18Z.

TWO MORE TO GO AFTER THIS!

WEDNESDAY

Overnight you might experience a bit of mist, but it's dry through to gates open with temps of 19.

Still showing the possibility of some very, very, very light showers in the PM - but nothing of note whatsoever. Highs of 21.

Overnight temps into Thursday: 13-14

THURSDAY

Completely dry, very small threat of light showers in the area, highs of 21-22.

Overnight temps into Friday: 13-14

FRIDAY

Completely dry, highs of 19-21.

Overnight temps into Saturday: 15   

SATURDAY

Completely dry, highs of 24-25.

Overnight temps into Sunday: 15-18

SUNDAY

Completely dry but with a very real threat of rain close by, highs of 25.

Temps through Elton are still up at 18-19.

Overnight temps into Monday: 13-14

SUMMARY!

This is an upgrade on the 12Z, with Sunday temps 4 degrees higher at 25. But there really still is uncertainty about what the low is going to do exactly on Sunday. We probably won't even be sure when my last update comes at 11am on Wednesday.

This is how close we are to Elton being a washout right now.... but the odds are still massively in our favour.
