GOOD NEWS FROM THE MET OFFICE UPDATE AN HOUR AGO:

UK Outlook for Wednesday 24 Jun 2009 to Friday 3 Jul 2009:

The weather will be fine and dry for most of the country, with any patchy rain and drizzle in northern Scotland clearing by Thursday. North Sea coasts may be affected by some cloud, and a brisk easterly wind may affect parts of the south, but the warm and dry weather is expected for most of the country, and is set to continue into the weekend. Temperatures will be warm or very warm although it will feel cooler on the coasts as sea breezes develop during the day. There is a chance of some heavy, thundery showers in the south east towards the end of the weekend. The risk of thundery showers continues into next week, although some drier spells are also expected. Temperatures falling a little.

Last year looked like becoming a washout on Thursday evening, when the mud appeared under the weight of rain and all those feet. One of my mates looked close to tears as he said, "Aww, why does it always have to do this?"

The next day the sun came out, and whether it was the improved drainage that Eavis always talks about, or the fact that the ground hadn't seen much rain leading up to the festival, the mud dried up and it was Converse All-Stars time for the rest of the festival.

Who would have thought on Thursday night that we'd be watching Leonard Cohen in our t-shirts as the sun set in the most glorious fashion over the last day of the festival?

I'm taking waterproofs, no question of that whatever the forecast says, but I'm quietly optimistic. Even the worse forecasts at the moment sound no worse than last year, which was really good overall IMHO.

Last year Im certain the forecast wqas a lot worse! You are right the sense of despondency around the site on the thursday night was incredible! Gave way on friday morning to a feeling of "Sod it We will have a great fest anyway" and then later on that changed to "hang on its drying out:)"

I've been reading the forums over on Netwaether today and the general mood seems to be that the High will hold on for next weekend and the rain is a SMALL possibility........

Let's hope they're right but as they are all saying on there, next weekend is to far off at the moment to be certain :D:):lol:
