Jackone has posted half of todays forecast. From what i can see, he is worried about the possibility of 50mm of rain falling on the site this week, but the weekend itself not too bad. I think he might be making a bit too much of the weather beforehand, as the drainage on site is slightly better than the average field

Why is everyone waiting so intently for John craven's weather report on country file. Being a city dweller iv never taken much of an interest in the programme, is their weather report gospel or something?

I wouldn't worry just yet. Heck this time yesterday they were forecasting heavy rain all day in Taunton. Somerset just managed to get a result and 50 overs of cricket in this arvo!

Ill take that 5 day forecast I've just viewed for a week before the festival

[amfy]

Today was supposed to be horrible here in Birmingham, but it was sunny all morning, and drizzled lightly for 20 minutes at about 4.30. It's been a perfectly serviceable day when anyone could be out and about doing stuff with no problems atall.

Country files weather looks good,things are warming up,Wednesday will be the day to start/top up your tan.

They were watering the tracks on the site this morning to keep the dust down when I walked past with the dog. That indicates the state of play at Worthy today. It did rain today, the forecast said rain between 1000 and 1500 and bugger me, it started at 0955 and stopped at 1510. Pretty much spot on. The ground has dried quickly since then. I wouldn't panic yet peeps.

[Morse Code]

I cycled from Bath to Launceston yesterday and the forecast was dreadful but I only got soaked once. The wind was the main problem. Well it was for cycling but it was great for drying the ground!

I reckon the ground will be in good shape to soak up a bit of the wet stuff this week, just in time to settle down for next week

[ClareM1983]

Even though I know there can't possibly be any certainty regarding the forecast at this stage, I still cannot help reading this thread religiously every day!

[Vacant0]

I'd forgotten that Glastonbury had weather until today.... thank christ for this thread

The moonson type weather we had in 2007 was pretty awful, as was the heatwave we had a couple of years ago (2009 or 2010?). So somewhere in between would be fine with me.

Slightly off topic...would we struggle with tent pegs if the ground stays dry like it is?

Not done a dry festival so clueless

I've never had a problem (been going since 2003) and have never taken a peg mallet- even in 2010. Only time I've ever needed one was at Womad back in 2006.

I always take a mallet in the tent bag, needed one at some strange times, like v fest last year after itd been raining for a couple of days!

[GlastoSimon]

So essentially:

Massive rainfall this week

Little rainfall this week

I remember the forecasts saying last week that the bad rainfall was meant to start Tuesday just gone (which it did) and end this coming Tuesday/Wednesday. So I'm hoping it's the latter image.
