Yeh that was the thing about 2007 - the whole summer was a non stop sh*t show. We got washed out at Global and I had mates who went to Glade and went back to their cars at the end to find them full of water! 

2007 Truck Festival got postponed due to floods in Oxfordshire…….the only bright spark I had was going off to Benicassim just after Glastonbury - completely opposite experience!

And a high of 16 degrees on the Wed, it’s complete bs.

Select UK precipitation from the drop down and animate the model. Or don’t. You’ll have nightmares.

It is trending in an absolutely horrific direction right now

‘Wetter than average’ is not a horrific direction 2 weeks out.

We're on the 18Z now people, calm down.

[stopwn1981]

It’s over

Better wet than Dead

 

Trench foot is much worse

Wet and 18c is definitely freezing cold enough to cause it, just not safe

[briddj]

The 18Z has only processed to Wednesday the 14th so people are being silly.

[Alvoram]

Same thing applies now as applied when these runs were showing hot dry weather... IT'S STILL TOO EARLY... It will most likely go back and forth for another week yet. Calm down. 🙂

We need your wisdom! You're getting tempted to start early aren't you...

TOO EARLY.

2010 All over again. 

[fightoffyour]

2010 was actually perfect wasn’t it? Wall To wall sunshine but no oppressive heat like Saturday 2019.

[briddj]

Dry and warm Wednesday and Thursday on the 18Z.

Bit of heavy on the Tuesday before gates open though.

Friday is mildly moist...

[Alvoram]

Having said that... And despite these 'poor' runs and all the panic in here... This isn't screaming 'mud bath' to me...

Not a lot of rain between now and the Friday of the festival at all really.

First time in the Weather Thread?

You ain't seen nothing yet. I'm just here with my popcorn scowling at The Nal winding folk up even further than the uncertainty does all by itself.
