Weather

First post in ages. When I used to go to Glastonbury, I wasted hours and hours on the weather thread. It was an absolute roller coaster of emotions 😂. The weather will be what it will be and I think only Sunday and Monday are looking dodgy. It won't be biblical Glasto mud though. I experienced Glasto 97, 98, 2007(definitely the worst) and 2011 which was grim, particularly queuing in torrential rain for 5 hours to get in. I haven't been back since. 

The Nal  is hopefully being over pessimistic 😂😂😂

Pack wellies and waterproofs, just to be on the safe side.

Sunday looking like a total wash out now. Really windy too.

if Eeyore did weather forecasts they'd probably be the most depressing in the world.

You are in wind up mode aren't you?  😂 Don't see high winds in the BBC forecast. What's your source?

I'll take this! STICK.

The Nal will interpret it as this

[The Nal]

Met office: "Over the weekend, as the high pressure begins to breakdown, outbreaks of rain may start to spread to some southern and western areas". 

Rain creeping into almost all forecasts now for Sunday and Monday. Could easily arrive early too. Saturday through Monday. Or even Friday. Very very worrying.

PANIC!

A bit of rain on Sunday is hardly a disaster though, you get pretty much 3 days to wander around and enjoy the site.

Met Office/BBC/Accuweather/XC all pretty much aligned now - looks like we are going to get some cracking days Thursday to Saturday then some light rain on Sunday.  I'll take that!  Put it this way, for me in Aberdeen, those temperatures are what I've been looking for all summer!!  As long as the Sunday rain doesn't turn into that of 2017 proportions, we are laughing.

For anyone who hasn't been to EOTR before - it turns VERY cold in the evening.  We always factor in time early evening to head back to our tent for extra layers.

Bit of an exaggeration, I occasionally have to put on a long sleeve shirt.

Gavs weather forecast is up.

Sunday rain is biblical. 

[benali]

Urgh, we have to pack up on Sunday as we leave after Richard Dawson has finished because my other half has work on Monday morning. Hate packing away in the rain!

He started with the weather but it quickly turned into a diatribe of racial abuse followed by a list of his favourite crisps.

I see you're a connoisseur, like myself. Choice.

Sunday looks like our best day now. Dry tents on Monday as well.

The precious YR website you hold in such high esteem says no rain on Sunday.

Looks like as dry an EOTR as we could have hoped for.

Yep trolling time over, we're in reality now. Looks good. No rain on YR or Met Office really.
