Cos it felt like there was enough rain on the Wednesday alone to trash the site. My first GF, had stayed up all night in the queue, as we got through Ped Gate A (I assume) it utterly bollocked it down. My mate (another 1st timer) who stresses about everything had been panicking about "Glasto rain/mud" for 9 months, darted under a massive tree with a face like a kid who'd had his sweets taken off him. Fucking hilarious. It eased off slightly as we were trying to pitch but shit me, it was an interesting introduction those first few days. Not looked back since!

In 2017 (I think it was that year) every time we went past a tap I soaked my baseball cap. On the first day my mates thought I was odd, by Thursday they were all at it. It really does help to keep you cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjfiddy Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 So we’re tracking big improvements in the run up which will stop the site being fucked pre arrival like it was in 2016, that 9mm of rain on the Monday is gone from AccuWeather, you love to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does help to keep you cool. If you have a straw hat you can wear a Gumby-style knotted hankie underneath and soak that in water. Works well for my OH (and fits his sartorial approach perfectly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 3 were 2007, 2011 & 2016. He’s never seen a dry one and almost always brings Coldplay along for the ride. There’s 16 of us heading over this year…and he’s not one of them! We’re sorted.

Drinky Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 If we’re comparing the forecasts right now with previous years, it’s looking most like 2005… baking hot in the week running up to the festival followed by a big breakdown at the weekend 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked negative for weeks then about this time we started getting hope. Something about a Spanish Plume, I think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
