Who is sitting down???

ITS NOT GOING TO RAIN TOMORROW!!!!!! WELL NOT in the original forecast stylee!

Carole Kirkwood...(my best mate at times like this...even if she MUST wear a silly hat cos its Ascot! ) just showed the LATEST BBC weather map and that HUGE green and yellow evil looking thunder cloud that was 'over' Glasto iin forecasts since Sunday is passing to the west up the Bristol Channel...SOME rain but very little tonight and barely ANY tomorrow...its passing WEST!!!!

18-20'c, wind much lower than forecast...

BRING IT ON!!!!!!

Will prob get wet again on Thursday BUT NOT ON THE SCALE FEARED!!!

Its all heading north...says SUSSEX is gonna be banged up later!

RIGHT...I am soooo happy.

8.15, 8.45 and a last one at 9.10 IF you dont believe me!

7.47am in Glastonbury town and it looks like this ....

No rain overnight and doesn't look like raining any time soon.

When I arrive in the town around 4 pm today, I imagine that will have changed, but let's hope not!

I think Lucy (and the BBC?) may be overconfident there ... treat any suggestions of 'no rain; with extreme caution folks, as Netweather's latest last night (actual written forecast and blog -- can someone else please find links for these, in a biut of a rsh here ...) are NOT in any way positive ... at all ... sorry ....

Best assume rain and be pleasantly surprised when it doesn't, or doesn't much, rather than go overconfident ...

(Just Nikwaxed my boots -- again!!)

Met Office forecast isnt quite as pessimistic as the BBC at the moment (couldnt see direct link so screeny below)

Saying that the wind in exeter is picking up

not choosing sides but Lucy could be right on this one..at least for now...the local forecast down here for south west this morning says the showers, some heavy will hit the area from around 1400 today but will die out from about 1900 tonight...the night will be dry and tomorrow will be mostly fine with sunny spells up to middle of the afternoon...after which they didnt forecast.

so...setting up looks like its going to be dry....further on from that i dont know.

Not far off last year really ;-)

[saxybird]

Fookin 'ell it's even worse this morning! http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/event_...asp?eventID=107

There's even a severe weather warning for the whole of the south of UK - from the Midlands down. Looks like the south is going to get the weather that our Northern neighbours got last week.

All together now "Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud......"

[ukdaasfan]

were predicting thunderstormns last night..... and so far nada!

[adamski]

The only thing that's worrying me is all that wind forecast on the Wednesday. Just as I arrive and try to put up the tents! Expect to see me flying somewhere over Bristol......

[goaty]

metcheck are psychotic. i've decided.

the met office has no such weather warning for the south. only the north where most of the floods happened last week. weather warnings are a pile of toss anyway. it's the climate we now live in where people need to be warned if there is any likelihood of anything at all happening to them. it's pathetic.

back to the weather: all this mudbath talk is sensationalist headline engineering. remember when we were all going to die of bse/ebola/bird flu? well, did we??

yes, it will rain. it will also be sunny at times. just like the weather we've been having in the south over the past week or so. some areas will be lucky enough to avoid heavy downpours and you'll have to be pretty unlucky to be under heavy SUSTAINED downpours. personally, i'm looking forward to a mix of weather. i've spent a fortune on my wellies and want to wear them.

BBC site has been updated - tommorrow doesn't look too bad now.

Keep those friendly updates coming!!!!!

Wind is good, blows the rain away! You dont want to sit under a rainstorm going nowhere.

[parsonjack]

That written description is exactly what Carole JUST showed on screen...with an even SILLER hat!

When I said its not gonna rain...ok maybe I was a bit OTT...but what I meant was...it aint gonna be horrific on Wednesday!!! Relatively pleasant by all accounts...the evil weather HAS turned down a level or two THATS for sure...

Its Thursday we need to start worrying about really!

The forecast for this afternoon is sooooooooooooooooo different from what was predicted yeserday...so bad I was reconsidering whether to even head to the Avalon campsite...looks like w WILL get up on the Tor tonihght afterall! Bring on the Knight's chips and a bottle of BB!!!

Yeah if we are to take weather warnings take them from the met office, after all they are the most important lot.

Have to say wednesday seems to be ok, the wind maybe ok do to the valleys and all that bollocks.

The bad day on most reliable forecasts has shifted to friday,

[noSaj]

just seen an old guy, with a long beard and a rather large wooden boat hanging round Glastonbury Tor asking for directions for somewhere called the Mount of Olives. Had a lot of animals with him for some reason.
