Could someone reminder me - which forecaster is the one that is notoriously unreliable and seems to make it's living by going with the most extreme forecasts?

[weaz]

Netweather is the worst

[Gnomicide]

I seem to remember yr.nr or some such being well respected.

Ah, cheers.

Yeah, I remember someone posting up they'd been good in previous years.

Errm .... So ... I'm not the superstitious type, but has anyone mentioned what happened last time the Who and the Chemical Brothers headlined on the Sunday night.

Nooooooo I was there and I've been trying not to think about it!!!

Ahh the annual "Glastonbury and Wimbledon will be total washouts" article...

So that means its a scorcher.

That full article reads as if it is next weekend

[briddj]

Baseless nonsense!

[GlastoSimon]

'If we put that its going to be muddy, then everyone will click the article!'

To be fair, I see any bad weather next week as a good thing, get it out of the way! (That doesn't have much scientific value, but after the bad weather literally hit the festival last year and was great either side of it, I'm using that as my evidence)

[Brave Sir Robin]

People seriously moaning about the 2013 weather? Blimey.

[Amy Lawn]

2013 had the perfect weather, couldn't have been any better. The Thursday rain prompted the campsite to take to their tents, we were sat in the porch bit of ours, after a nap, having a few drinks and watching the rain come down, one of the three lads who were camped nearest to us got kicked out for farting in the small confined space, he sheepishly asked if he could come under our porch, we got to know him and had a laugh. Then his mates unzipped their front door to join in, the tent in between the two of ours unzipped to join in after a while, eventually there was a circle of four tents, we build up a rapport that lasted for the whole festival, all of us were about the same age and got on really well, went to watch loads of bands as a big group, spent about an hour and half drinking together at the end of every night. The last night was quite emotional when we all left.

2014 thunderstorm facilitated the dancing and singing in the rain with a crowd of strangers. It's the spirit of the trenches, the only thing that, in my experience, brings you together with other people more is Los Campesinos! t-shirts (liking Los Camp! is the litmus test, we're all the best people you can ever hope to meet).

[Franky]

Ok having been to 2005 and 2007 let me tell you. 2013 was not MY perfect weather but then I should have been born smack bang on the equator and not this god forsaken cold miserable island. However if offered 2013 in advance of any Glastonbury for the next 100 years I would take that shit and run !

Yeah ok Thurs was a bit shit and walking around Thurs night was grief, but if you were prepared ie had wellies it wasn't so bad. I was back in trainers on Sat morning and never looked back.

Of course 2010 was THE PERFFCT Glastonbury for me

To summarise, 2010 beats 2013 hands down but seriously 2013 was good !

[Boozy]

I fell asleep at the bandstand during the rain in 2013. Woke up to see Mik Artistik on stage and my pint still upright in my hand.

[budvar]

Ok having been to 2005 and 2007 let me tell you!

I desperately hope to never repeat the 2007 experience in terms of weather. The organisers seem to be inviting the wrath of the weather gods by booking the exact same closing acts for the Pyramid and Other...

[wosman]

I'm hoping for a repeat of 2003 please! similar to 2010 but 5 degrees cooler and a little cloud

[Mouseboy11]

Uh oh..

2.7mm of rain isn't much I don't think and if it's been dry during the run up the site should be able to handle it well. I think they are just jumping on the metro bandwagon and using metcheck (the most unreliable weather forecasters) for their information.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Uh oh..

http://www.centralsomersetgazette.co.uk/Glastonbury-Festival-2015-weather-forecast-pack/story-26651058-detail/story.html

What do you mean uh oh?! 4 days of dry weather, not too hot. 1 day with a bit of rain.

That is a decent forecast*

*which has very little chance of being accurate

Start taking them more seriously in a fortnight

Forecasts getting worse with each passing day.

[mjsell]

Where are the graphs!!

I need to know the trends... the mighty trends I say!!

[djcolsen]

How's it looking so far? Woeful? Excellent? Or does no body have a clue?
