We had just packed away our tent and headed north as the sky’s darkened!  Looking at the town webcam it seems to have dried up

Yep. I came through Pilton/Glastonbury around 5pm and looked like I just avoided a deluge. Looking great for the next three days though! 

[Franky]

Stick on todays weather.

 

Only pump her up 5/6 degrees. For good measure. 
 

 

2010 All over again. Woohoo ☀️

What's the site like at the moment? Are we on good grounds at the moment?

[Spindles]

Paths are looking nice and dry on the webcam, been warm and dry for the most part of late.  Bit of rain due over the next couple of days but nothing major, outlook for the next week looks fine to me.

Good, possibly Good to Firm.

Supposed to be under this weather warning today for storms … no sign at the moment it’s just a lovely day … storms are pretty hit and miss and will hopefully not hit the site , the fact there’s cranes operating gives me hope they won’t 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Thoughts and prayers with the site today 🙏 

[Jacko45]

Absolutely stonking it down today.

 

Least we've had about 4 good days in May... :/

 

[EavisAintDead]

Even though it looks like it should be chucking it down right now, the rain is actually really thin and not making much of a difference to the ground (from Glastonbury Town) and it's still quite warm

We are heading there tomorrow. It's Bearded Theory Festival. I envisage an effing ball ache of a Day but got to just get up and at it 

[Cooter]

So, late next week showing overnight temps in single figures and in June ffs. Not doing a Nal but that's very fukkin cold and to top it off, day time temps not high enough to warm anything or anyone up. Stock up on hot chocolate and pocket warmers!

And only 34 days away from gates opening. 

 

Signals for both temperature and rainfall indicate a 'more-likely above average' overall. This suggests that further rain or showers are likely, possibly heavy or thundery at times.
