The weather gods were trying to tell Take That to shut the f**k up, can't say I blame them.

[rexclark]

[tolywoly]

Metcheck's awful.

[weirdfish]

my tent didn't let any water in last year and we all know how rainy that was, so i'm not bothered

most of the bands i'm seeing are in the tents anyway

[brettredmayne]

Dont think BBC quite know, Leeds has went to rain for every day but poor reading for Friday http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/2818

[Keva]

Trying to be optimistic and will say its not looking quite as bad for Reading on MetCheck.

HAIL! IN AUGUST!

However Thursday and Saturday look gooood

[mattl]

If the rain at Reading isn't constant and is just bouts of heavy showers, I can live with it. Come Saturday though, the arena is going to look like a swamp!

[dannyv18]

hail in august will just be a WTF moment

however ill take that weather forecast!!!

[weirdfish]

So thursday and friday will be awful, but friday evening until the end of the festival looks pretty dry. I'm ok with that.

[Rudzkii]

[Calzum]

[Benj]

If the rain at Reading isn't constant and is just bouts of heavy showers, I can live with it. Come Saturday though, the arena is going to look like a swamp!

[ArcadeMonkeys]

i'm just going to prepare for rain everyday, then anything better that comes our way is a bonus!

[weirdfish]

yeah they do a pretty good job of clearing out the arena if the rain is bad, and as long as your tent isn't a piece of shit you can stay dry in the campsite

[darth haggis]

It looks like the organisers are preparing for the worst - there is tonnes of bark on all of the entrances into the campsite. There were also sewage trucks draining the fields earlier. I suggest you wear your wellies if you're heading down tomorrow, it's already pretty muddy.

[Bisque]
