Where's our weather thread?

[Matty Hurst]

I've been saying this for days and i will repeat it, it will rain but how much it rains is the key.

And we won't know that til it does...........at the moment the dryness of the site with the odd shower is good news, tomorrow might piss down, wednesday might, Thursday Might, Friday Might............Sat and Sun might.............

After all it's all predictions, and me unlike alot of the public respect the job the weather people do, but weather is like the news.......forever changing.

But hell being for sure how much it will rain is very difficult to predict, so lets not all rush to drown ourselves in pessmism.

And hell once it's happening half of us will be so pissed we won't notice

Good news about it stopping for Shirley..........thats about the time i will probably venture from the safety of my tent area.

21.6mm of rain is forcast to fall between 9am and 3pm. 31.7 will have fallen by 9pm. Apparently.

[edit] On thursday!

Is this more or less rain than G05? I'm sure it's a lot less. Anyway, the website is using nice big rain icons to represent "Heavy Rain". Nothing is labeled as "monsoon" yet although the word monsoon - according to the thesaurus on Word - means "torrential rain", "downpour", "cloudburst", "heavy rain" and even "heavy shower". So I'm quite confused as too how much rain we're being promised. Help me please?

There is no doubt the ground will get a bit muddy.

But it isn't comparable to 97/8. Much more an 04 to my thinking.

If not too much rain falls the ground will be fine - muddy, but not irreparable given some sun.

Whilst, yes, the peat soil turns the ground to mud in a flash - the peat soil also returns to a solid consistency given just a few hours of sun in cases. And that is a fact.

Is the accuweather prediction not reliable at all ? It is somewhat more optimistic than metcheck .

[steveo]

actually, fri-sun might even be on the dry side. can't see at the mo how it can rain sunday, unless some freakin polar low descends on us.

Hi mate

Thanks to Microsoft thinking this was the V Festival, trying to rebrand it as the X-Box Tent and thus upsetting some important people, the excellent Lock Tavern tent is no more.

You forgot to mention that in your article.

The site looks bloomin' gorgeous on the webcam. A lovely summer evening!

[4x4]

yeah, things should. much drier, p'raps, but quite nippy.

[haznutuk]

Still dry & sunny in Glastonbury town. Only half an hour of drizzle so far today.

[harper11]

The BBC weather site is a complete waste of time as 2 years ago, it had a 5 day forcast saying sun and clouds and not a drop of rain, well we all know what happened on the thursday morning, so hopefully they will be so wrong again...

[Alcatraz]

Hoepefully the heavens is just pissing out the last few weeks of drinking and is only shaking the last few drops out on thursday

[kloot]
