No mention of Glastonbury but if the Countryfile forecast turns out to be accurate then there is very little rain. Mostly dry and warm.

Thoroughly disappointed. Always love the Glastonbury shout out! 

It's a myth and rarely gets mentioned.

Thunderstorms in west Yorks. Started over an hour ago and still raining now. Just tried pushing a tent peg into the lawn. Ground still as hard and firm as a Chippendale’s butt.

I'm in Gloucester, wasn't exactly hammering it, more of a shower which lasted 20mins

The other side of Cleeve got an hour of light show and full on blitzkrieg, but all quiet now.

My poor knees are going to get Badly sunburnt. And my left leg is going to roast in its own solar cooker (a black Kevlar leg brace, Which i need to wear if I stand up on my feet).

It is raining now on site quite hard

Exactly what the runs said. Sun night into Mon morning, then dry dry dry. *Does the happy dance*

It's not even that. It's the edge of one small blob of rain. It will stop in minutes. 

Forcefield still in action with the heavy centre to the west and Swindon getting soaked.

Met Office are still saying rain showers (now with heavy rain at one point) on Weds afternoon which is annoying me.

You're in the middle of the blob.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Just spent six hours in the rain in a car park called the M6😉😊
accidents, road works, heavy rain and an excellent meal in the best service station in the country, Tebay.

What app is this btw?

[ICGenie]

Totally irrelevant, but Lancashire has finally remembered it's Lancashire and not the Sahara Desert.

Weather&Radar - really good for tracking the rain. We knew exactly when to emerge from under a tree before Sam Fender!

Stick a cold bandage underneath? Only used one once for cold compression but they feel nice when it’s hot

its too tight to get anything between the brace and my leg (apart from at my ankle for some cushioning).
