Half a month's rain forecast over the weekend. Super. Have fun all. Hopefully some of the showers will pass us by.

I'm normally blase about missing the Wednesday, but this year the smart money might have been on arriving early to make the most of it.

[Trebor]

Yeah I'm gutted to be missing what's going to be potentially the only day to enjoy the good weather.

Tomorrow until dark it will be dry.

This looks pretty good ..

Leaving now so that's the last forecast for me ... stick!

On my way very soon, this forecast is perfect, see you there chumps!

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

Last night I was at stage 4 - hopefully I'm now at stage 5.

I re-waterproofed my coat last night. I have now resigned myself to the fact it will be wet

I can't read this thread any more

Don't worry about it. There are certain people on here doom mongering just for the fun of it. I've read back through the past dozen or so pages and one poster in particular hasn't had a positive word to say.

I for one hope they have a terrible festival for being so negative (if indeed they have a ticket and are not just stiring the pot out if sheer jealousy)

And its not the Nal.....we all know he's just a wind up merchant

Latest view from the Norwegians is for it to remain showery, but the overall quantities are manageable:

Thur - 0.0 mm (!)

Fri - 3.4 mm

Sat - 11.4 mm

Sun - 2.2 mm

Lets not forget that on Sunday on Countryfile it was forecast to be wet all day Thursday with really bad heavy rain and wind of Friday.

Seems like none of that is happening so keep everything crossed that Saturday improves to.

The other day I was out side in a shower that was, so the local weather people said just over 2mm - it was nothing worth worrying about.

Everyone have bloody fantastic festivals.

The BBC has improved! Only showing rain on Friday and Saturday now, sunny spells Sunday. Presume the snow on Friday is an error!

That's hail!

Which that Gav guy did predict...!

Hail Gav!

Eurgh but never mind half tempted to take wellies instead of walking boots if it's going to rain that much

[CaledonianGonzo]

If it just hails we'll be on velvet - as long as you're wearing a helmet.

[rebus]

The Hail has gone from BBC so that's one less thing to worry about. I'm not arriving until about 1930 on Thursday so I expect it won't start raining until then.

[kabillion]

Even if it turns to shit, it's still three days off my fucking abysmal job, so fuck it.

Correct answer!

[JBarbour]

BBC now no longer showing hail image. What a joke

[LaxtonsSuperb]

Gah...all the clever weather nerds must already be there. I want, nay demand, that someone far smarter than I interprets all those squiggly graphs, decides which website or nationality is the right-est when it comes to what's about to fall from the sky and above all, brings good news as I don't own a proper rain-repelling coat suitable for summer.

All I know is Accuweather is showing about 6mm of rain every day for the three main days of the fest. Doesn't sound too bad to me considering the ground will be hard!

[siblin]

What direction are the lows supposed to come in from? Currently everything is moving for the east which is usually a good sign..
