It did, I was at Plant and Krauss before Fender and it was a decent downpour

Yeah the only rain I remember from the whole weekend was standing waiting for Fender to start in between acts and getting hit with sideways rain for 15-20 mins

Yeah that was the only bit wasn’t it? I can’t remember anything else.

That's cos Coldplay will be on stage.

Surely the weather gods will determine that Coldplay are wet enough already and provide us with more sunshine?

I was in the pit from prior to Krauss/Plant (one of the worst sets ive witnessed at Glasto) until post Fender and i don't recall sideways rain at all. My rain poncho went for 10 minutes for a passing shower but nothing more than that.

I am in Cheddar now but was in G town earlier and it is a fantastic day. Really warm and pleasant.

It was really hard work mate. Me and the Mrs were there in the hope we got some Led Zepp and a decent spot for Fender.

Not even sure what I was doing there...I recall watching Supergrass, then wandering off for some food as I was going to see Bonobo at West Holts with a couple of friends and we wanted something to eat first..... somehow found ourselves near the cider bus, so got some dinner and a cider and saw the last 30 minutes I think and it was f**king terrible! 😄

Going to be heading off to the site soon so that I get there in time to watch tonights footy game in the camper field.

Before going though just wanted to doff my cap once again to our roller coaster captain @briddj, and his able co-pilot @Sheffield Steve.

Once again navigated us through the highs and lows, to bring us to what I would say is a bloody cracking looking outlook. (For those NFRNFC I will gladly take a tiny shower Thursday or Sunday now bearing in mind its only a few days ago we were talking about a months worth of rain on the Wednesday morning!)

And also thanks to all of those other regulars in this chat that have made me feel less like a complete freak for checking the forecast here every couple of hours for the last 2 weeks.

I might just pluck up the courage if nerves don't get the better of me, to come to the meet on Wednesday if for no other reason than to ensure that I buy a drink for our captain and co-pilot.

Have an amazing dry festival one and all and look forward to catching the same rollercoaster this time next year!!

What a ride. Boots in the car but probably wont wear them which feels pretty incredible! Hope everyone has the best festival!

It's very hot in town.. maybe.. too.. no, it's perfect.

Been lurking here for a few years, and this year (5-8 times per day) has been one of the best rides so far. Thank you to @briddj, @Sheffield Steve, and everyone else for an entertaining run-in! See you on the farm!

Met Office now predicting a second low coming in on Saturday after rain from the first low misses us. Hopefully it burns out before it reaches the site but continues the downward trend today. Still not out of the woods for the whole weekend…

Christ knows where I was, I don't remember any rain. But then I struggle to remember who I saw, let alone the weather! Edited to add - using my last couple of minutes at work wisely, I have checked and I was in Left Field - do vaguely remember it raining outside.

GFS 12z brings the second low in but South West stays dry, bar possible light shower Sunday. Weds still scorchio, Thurs / Fri sunny but cooler, moving towards overcast Sat and Sun. So not as good as yesterday, but rainfall totals remain negligible. Hopefully there's no continuing downward trend tomorrow though.
