I'll settle for this:

Yes, can we fix those numbers now please. Have faith everyone, I can remember several awful August's, only for the clouds to part over Tollard Royal come September!

And Metcheck isn't too bad either:

I was led to believe that the weather is always good at EOTR (first timer, but veteran of many Green Man deluges).

 

Don't tell me it ain't necessarily so!

In the years I've been there's only been one really bad weather/ground year.

Beginning to move into the more reliable time frame now regarding the weather - although still too far away to have any great deal of certainty.  Today the charts are showing a pretty dry festival although not particularly warm with highs of around 18c and overnight lows of around 8c. Still, it should feel pleasant in any sunshine.

Been every year. Third year had 20 mins rain.

 

Couple of years back, had about 2 hours. It dries up well but generally, the weather is reliable.

 

Cold at night though, so take a thick sleeping bag + coat.

Could do with a spell of dry weather in the next week to dry out the ground, here in Blandford Forum (about 10 miles away) we've had some absolutely torrential downpours since last week.

 

I would take the weather we had in 2013, lovely and warm during the days (although the nights were pretty chilly), apart from about a 30 minutes shower on the Friday night during Eels set (remember the power of the double rainbow)

On the basis that i broke my big toe last week and am hopping around on crutches, i am hoping for ridiculous amounts of sunshine and no sign of any precipitation at all. No-one likes a muddy crutch...

I think if it rains again at a festival this summer, Mrs 5co77ie will be done with festivals

I do feel for you my friend. Even though eotr is classed as a small festival. On crutches will be hard going. Muddy conditions nightmare. Here,s to a dry festival .

Going by the latest weather model runs, it seems high pressure will be charge from next Wednesday, and warming up into the weekend. Dry, pleasant by day with chilly nights

Considering how awful the weather has been recently I'll settle for 'dry'. Any sunshine will be a bonus, it looks perfectly fine, just will be a tad on the chilly side!

We are camping with 6 month old baby - hoping the chilly nights aren't too chilly! I'm an EoTR veteran, have experienced a few cold nights there, just hope all the gear we've got him will keep him warm enough.

I am borrowing my daughter's pug onesie. She wore it at Reading Festival at the weekend and said it kept her warm at night. Kind of like a babygro - I'm sure he'll be fine!

Cloudy, dry with chilly nights seems to be the order of the day. More chance of seeing some sunshine going into the weekend.
