Is there an officlal worst year weather wise at Glastonbury? Last one I went to was 2011...and I didn't go in 2007...so I haven't experienced some recent bad ones...but I did go in 97/98...so for me 97 was the worst with 98 a close second (but I left early for that one).

 

2007 stopped me going back for ten years. We were 17 and two of the group basically had a nervous breakdown at the conditions and we left mid-day Sunday.

Didn't help that we camped in Oxylers where some of the worst of the flooding was.

It'll be pissing down on us when the bands are on.

Much happier to stand in mud with dry skies than getting drowned trying to enjoy the music. Which is what we have now. Well, we have both. Mud and rain.

Sunday a shocker aswell.

Worst weather in living memory. 

Heavy character, you

Reassured!

Someone else said spitting. I can handle that, as an irish contingent we will be used to it even!

I’m loving peoples reminiscing of weather of festivals past. Keep sharing!

Been following this thread religiously for a couple days now (god knows why, I'm back at the farm after a 5 year hiatus, a little bit of rain ain't gonna spoil my fun!).

 

For me the million $ question is, how much rain is needed to turn the tide from trainers to wellies? Based on yr.no forecast which is the worst atm I think, we have 6.5mm of rain on Friday/Saturday. Are we expecting Saturday that the ground is churned and we swap the trainers for wellies?

Yep.

Fucking shite.

Walking boots, no need for wellies

6.5 mm is less than 1 cm... Less than 1/3 of an inch in old money... It's not going to be wellie weather if that holds true.

On the current predictions you’ll need to be in walking boots/wellies on Saturday for the rest of the festvial.

I just put my wellies back in the shed.

Is there any weather permutation that's now not forecast?

[JoeyT]

I've got just over 2 hours left of work.

Today has dragged so badly.

Left on Sunday straight after Stevie Wonder as I couldnt deal with the heat.

Was debating it in 2019, but got too smashed on the Sat nighr (as the temp became more managable). It was bloody hot for Miley Cyrus in the pit though.

Just never ever already own a pair of wellies and leave them in the shed instead of bringing them. Tempting Fate.

Wednesday 12pm vs Saturday 12pm.

And there was another day and a half of rain to fall after that photo was taken 🙃

I mean, it may seem obvious, but then so does the answer to the question... 🤷‍♂️ 6.5mm of rain across 2 days is barely even going to make the ground look wet...

You’ll need to be out of trainers in that weather I think, but yeah it’s not wellie weather by any stretch.

2007 was nice and warm until Friday lunchtime, and that's when the rain started and was pretty consistent for the rest of the weekend.

Basically looking like 2022 scenario 😂
