Lets face it, it always rains at least a little bit.

Years like 2010 are freakish exceptions. 

Yep - I've been to the last 10 festivals and there's been at least some rain at 9 of them.

Absolute fucking washout. Worst forecast at this stage in the recent history of the festival.

It's looking positive from the look of this thread on Netweather, always an esssential read and they know their stuff. High pressure potentially dominating southern UK next week

That's not a great deal of rain though for the Wednesday and Thursday. With the doom and gloom going around, i'd take that at the moment.

Litterally the first post in that link:

Someone is going to be very wrong, the meto are categorically saying tonight that low pressure is going to move back in after the brief ridge this weekend! The gfs is a huge hot outlier, and possibly the ECMtoo, so maybe we've just been spoilt again with the 12z output we can see not being true of the overall outcome. Prepare for potential disappointment....it's very much on the cards.

Er...

11mm of rain in one day?! We have 4mm in all of 2015.

How much rain fell on that fateful Friday in 2005? I remember hearing that it was the equivalent of a month's rain condensed into a few hours.

We've just had that here. Outside Chester, streets have rivers running through. Getting kicked out here as health and safety have deemed too much water come in the building and electrics are at risk

Get it all out the way, that's what I say

 

Edit- fire engine just turned up to pump water off the road

F*cking torrents! It wasn't raining when I went to the loo around 4AM. Loud clap of thunder around 6AM, then a thousand drummers were beating on the roof of the tent for the next 4 hours. Incessantly.

As the BBC show two days of no rain and sunshine and yr.no show 2 days or more or less rain and no sunshine I think it is time to sit back and wait a few days as they really don't know.

I shall not now read this thread again until I have made a cup of tea.

A little confused as to Jackone/ J10's whereabouts. He says it is last blob last week. Are we not getting anything from him? I don't think I could cope with that.

He got arrested for crimes he knew nothing about.  Apparently someone started some malicious rumors about him on an internet forum somewhere and the Police took action.

I seem to recall 2014 rainfall was in the region of 45mm across the festival, which I believe was more than 05, but fell across several days rather than just the one.

It's touch and go, but definitely still all to play for. We only need that nice band of high pressure (elegantly portrayed here by Mr Jones) to make a final valiant push and we'll be sipping cider in the sun for the duration.

 Every year you lot freak out about the weather forecast. I wouldn't take too much notice of it until the start of next week, and even then it can all change by the weekend.

Hes been an inpatient in Broadmoor for decades and only has limited access to the outside world based on good behaviour. However this year he injected boiling water into his grandmothers skull. Heres the last known picture of him.

You might want to look at Pilton rather than Castle Cary.........

https://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/England/Pilton~7301403/long.html

Pilton

 

Castle Cary

 

Pilton 12.6mm over 3 days with dry spells

Castle Cary 16.1mm over 3 days with almost constant rain/drizzle
