How'd it go Hodgey? hoping it went well and you got some dry hours for those photos!!!

Was forecast to rain here, right up to the very hours they were forecasting rain for, but it never came at all, overcast at times, but a nice day all things considered. 

And congratulations again.

 

It rained lightly on and off, but it didn't really impact the day much at all. The day before (19 July) was 30 degrees so I think everyone was slightly grateful it wasn't that hot on the day!

I know it's not strictly Glastonbury related but anyone else get woken up by a f**king massive thunderstorm last night?


Yep.

And have just been for a run and got caught in another one.

Nothing like flashes of lightning to up your pace!

They are not actually storms - it is a weather front, the things that used to just bring rain for a while but now because of warmer waters in the seas and oceans behave like storms and where we used to live lasted 5 hours the other day.

I have followed weather patterns for decades as my life is outside and quite weather reliant - this is all very new and different.

I suppose we will just have to get used to it and learn to row boats more often.

Still though, getting woken up at 3:30am by a load of rain, thunder and lightning is not the one. Whether it's a classic storm, changing weather fronts or part of the way the climate is going haywire, it was still a bit on the dramatic side.

I know it's cliche to bring this up just because of the weather but my God the last week has been horrible with rain and heavy showers/outright storms. Hopefully the next 8 months won't be spent wondering about an excessive moisture build up in the ground for Worthy Farm goers, right?

Plenty time for the land to drain and the ground to bake hard for a perfect festival.


Let’s get the ticket day and line up obsessions out of the way before we start worrying about the weather!

Oh unquestionably there's time - still about 9 months outstanding. More just pondering if we're already hoping we don't get a winter and spring just full of the soggy stuff. Again.

I mean the weather in winter and spring this year, up to about 3 weeks before the festival was pretty wet and horrid - including a months worth of rain in on the late May bank holiday weekend.

 

If that was all ok in the end, then I'm not sure we need to worry about what's happening 9 months out.

    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.

    • Solid list...  but i must ask?  are you excluding Lime Garden & Tomora as you didn't like them or is it that you havent listened to them? 
    • It was Brooklyn last year, and I seem to remember a Guinness tent
