Wee bit of a downgrade....

Don't worry Gav will be along soon with his wisdom after his day job.

I reckon we can survive 2.7mm

Grim reading for the Tuesday crew :(

Tomorrow is all about luck. The heavy stuff will fall somewhere - just remains to be seen how much of it hits the site.

Thanks @The Nal for bringing a bit of humour into what is sometimes a serious thread...

I think it's the gifs that get me mostly, and imagining that some people genuinely react like that when they see these charts.  🙈😂

There is no met office for yellow warning rain/flooding tomorrow, so how bad can it be…

A firm contender for your finest work yet

Really hoping those temperatures don't reach 25.

Currently parked up for the night nearby, it's 23° and it's brutal. Do not fancy doing Glastonbury in this heat

I never know if these are wind ups now, 23c isn't unbearable to anyone surely.

23c in the UK is very hot, I've already mentioned this before earlier in the thread but I think people really struggle with "23° in a nice air conditioned building" vs. "23° in direct sunlight, high humidity and low wind while walking around all day"

I'm sure if it's 25° everyone will be running around the festival loving life and not huddling in tents, under trees etc. /s

A lot of people suffer more when humidity is higher, 23 can feel like 35. With all this moisture around at the minute I can confirm, it's bloody horrendous here, and it's only 23c

He must have read the forecast

When the forecast says 23, that's 23 in the shade. Dancing in a field in direct sun is going to be a lot warmer.

During 1 of the warm spells last year, it got to about 30° where I live. Out of curiosity I put a thermometer in the garden in the sun, it got up to 49.9 then the screen went black and I had to take it back inside to cool down.

I stand down soldiers and apologise.

23 is 23 in the shade though and, as we know, there is no shade on site

Yes but it's default stuff - if you want anything nice get it to bring with you

That's fine, I'm very much a home brand purchaser anyway.

There's folk seeking out the shade on sunny days no doubt, but I'd hazard a guess that most of them are hungover rather than unable to normally cope with 23 degrees.
