The Standard desperately trying to turn this into a story of doom and gloom, even though the quotes are actually fairly positive!

Did someone say FLOOD!!!

Yeah "Revellers have been warned to expect hardly any rain when they descend in their thousands on Glastonbury festival next week." doesn't have the same ring to it.

[4AssedMonkey]

So, in an article which essentially states, showers/sun/breezy, they get 3 reference to flooding in in 8 paragraphs.  Journalists are c**ts.

Its the cold that gets you. Just want it warm at the very least.

Not for me, it's the rain.  I can carry more stuff around if it's cold enough to wear a coat.  I've never been bothered by the cold at Glastonbury other than 2007 and 1998 when it was also chucking it down all weekend.

Well I didnt actually want to mention the chucking down. At least if its warm as well it wouldnt be as bad. But warm and dry is better. I hate being cold.

Lots of rain on site today, hoping for some sun soon to start drying things out or it could get a bit messy

[Mr Splodge]

Pilton today has been very wet.

was over the site today lots of surface water and mud on the roads, grass where not driven on holding up well but very squelchy underfoot with water.  

Naughty corner very muddy and wet, sadly they need to use big plant machinery to build I am sure chippings will be put down prior to arrival.

On a positive note weekend weather looking good, and so is next week so should be a lot drier when everyone arrives, basically everyone pray for dry and wind up to Tuesday.

thankfully Glastonbury seem far more prepared to deal with the wet weather than most other festivals i've experienced so even if it does turn a bit muddy i'm sure they'll do their best to sort it out before people arrive on site. just really hope it isn't raining on arrival - never had that happen to me at a festival and it's always been a huge fear of mine (i believe it was a big problem in 2011, which i fortunately/unfortunately didn't attend)

Yeah exactly. I'd take dry and cold. Put on some layers and keep moving around/drinking. Easier than if it's wet and muddy.

not so much the rain or the cold, for me its the ground, and being able to sit down without having to carry a stupid camping chair around/getting a soaking wet arse......one of the best parts of the festival for me is at various points on the Wednesday and Thursday just sat on one of the hills behind the park and chill out with some cans taking it all in....if I cant do that because the ground is soaking wet thatd take some of the shine off my usual ritual.

[kaytee...]

Well I just got drenched in a biblical downpour wearing only a leather jacket and open shoes with the shittest brolly in all the land.

I think I'm much more preparrd for Glastonbury whatever the weathrr

Fuck off i ain't no southerner! West Yorkshire mate. 

We've had enough rain to get us prepared up here recently haven't we

[dingbat2]

The 10 day BBC forecast for Shepton Mallet looks absolutely perfect at the moment - glad Glasto isn't this week at the moment

 

All we need now is the Oracle that is this weekend's Countryfile forecast for the week ahead. All hale to John Craven!

 

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

To summarise, what I'm reading at the moment is:

Potential bad weather at the start of the week but clearing up a bit for Wednesday, with the odd shower here and there and then moving into the weekend the things could potentially improve a bit with more chance of sun.

I think we should take that and close the thread.

Much as we'd love to we've all got one more token for a ride on this particular roller coaster and they ain't letting us off yet.

Country file weather forecast from 20 mins ago shows pretty wet through this weekend, then drying up. Only went as far as Monday, but looking ahead the screen looked pretty clear for the weather coming in from the west on the air flows.

I really bloody hope I'm not setting up a tent in the pissing rain
