Sounds like warm, muggy and potentially stormy if that's anything to go by. Still miles out. No chance of any sort of accuracy at the moment for the weather on a given day.

Aye, "a chance of rain" . Not exactly news worthy weather at this point!

Last year's festival was meant to piss down every day right up until the evening before it started. Turned out to be near perfect weather, bit of light rain on Saturday that was it. This far out its totally pointless!

Met Office continuing with the trend. Low pressure, wetter than average.

Its not looking good.

Really really not good.

Not 'I'm Dill Danding', more like 'I'm Dill Dinking'.

Easy, Nal. Don't peak to soon, there's still a few weeks to go...

Ive had a few extremes of weather at Glasto. 

2005 - started off glorious before the biblical storm on the Friday morning as I crawled into my tent at 6am. Got a phone call of my brother to check I was ok after watching the news. Seem to remember rest of the festival was muddy but drier weather

2007 - GRIM...Non stop rain and mud from start to finish. Looking back music wise one of the best but with Glasto and a couple of other washouts I didn't go to any festivals in 2008. The one year Glasto didnt sell out..

2010- HOT!! But I was pretty much spangled for it all. I do remember a single drop of rain on my arm as we got back to the car

2016 - took us 10 hours to get from Manc on the coach. 2 people in our group who were Glasto virgins (and had bad backs) brought more stuff with them than anyone ever despite being told of the long walk. This resulted in a walk through thick mud to the furthest corners with extra baggage to find a campsite and groin strain...totally ruined that Glasto for me but was my other half's first and to see how much he loved it made up for it (almost).

2017- hot but not too bad by the time we arrived 

2019 - unbearable heat. Other half got sunstroke and I remember saying Id rather have mud and rain. Bearable by Sunday

2022- Wednesday and Thursday again unbearable with the heat.  Friday to Sunday perfect

Plenty of in-between years that were a mixed bag that I can't remember. Those first 2 were by far the worst

Hopefully we wont need them but good to be prepared 

[Euphoricape]

The netweather geeks aren't having any of the wet weather forecast, with several of the cenobites predicting a warm dry month for the whole of June.

A pound shop Nostradamus crossed with Michael Fish😉, it wouldn’t be the same without @The Nalpre festival doom laden weather reports!

Think I'm right in saying that The Nalster isn’t even going this year so is just weighing in for tradition's sake

Exactly. There has to be balance. 
 

2010 all over again.

For a start, newbies wouldn’t be in a blind panic😉😊

[sunnyshoes]

We do need a bit of a 'will it/won't it' rollercoaster on the countdown otherwise it wouldn't be the same. Then we will be all the more grateful when it's perfect festival weather like last year (not 2019).

The Nal loves the sun, just doing reverse psychology on the weather gods. That's how you know its going to be sunshine 😊

It's going to be a nightmare...

They are nice, I’ve lost mine and had to buy a cheaper replacement.

Anyone else feeling nervous the longer this dry spell goes on for? It's been a soaking wet year up to now, and this sunny period has to break soon 😞 (I know this means nothing at all and anything can happen).

Yep, I'm with you. Need rain now rather than this good weather. Short term pain ☔for long term gain ⛅
