Gonna be sweating in my new, none breathable waterproof bucket hat I panic ordered yesterday

With the monorail as part of the spec. Of course if it all went wrong we might all be cooked to a crisp in its inaugural year.

It's going to have automatic shading. Covers all bases

I couldn’t be more excited if Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Bob Marley were headliners!

Mind you with all this positivity, I'm still heading to decathlon soon to pick up some additional waterproofs.

 

A tribute to weather Gods.

Just waterproof sprayed my walking boots and jacket.

[The Nal]

My waterproofs still consist of a 3 quid poncho I bought on site in 2016 and used for 10 minutes.

 

About to go to its 5th Glasto.

[kalifire]

I just packed a dinghy and armbands. 

[devonhammer]

I just packed waterproof trousers even though I don't wear them when it's raining

How do you cope with the little rain cloud that's always over your head?

[Devo96]

Bought some gaiters… walking boots ready to risk it

[DareToDibble]

My multipack of ponchos has arrived and my uncle has said he will lend me his Sealskinz socks.

Which fails becuse GFL got in the O'Reillys rather than the Stubbs and something unspecfied to do with Melvin  Benn.

BBC forecast is just saying there might be a bit of light rain now and again. No point even taking waterproofs for that, is there?

BBC talk utter nonsense according to everyone here, but they've actually been pretty consistent all the way through the last few days.

Bring a spade! Only hope for water next week is if we start digging…

Honestly the amount of people talking about packing for all eventualities really irritates me. Bring your clothes. Make a call last minute for wellies. Buy a poncho on site if it rains.

Agreed. If your outfit changes significantly depending on the weather, you’re doing it wrong.

[Trunks1993]

Current forecast is identical to what we got in 2022. Absolute scorcher for opening day. Cools down massively for the weekend. We got so lucky that weekend. Still way too early though  - rollercoaster has only just begun

This would be fine in a world without weather gods, but we don't live in that world

[Jacko45]

Too much excitement, I get people want it to be right but theres been so many bad forecasts I can't really believe one good one.
