2019 was great, 2020 was great, 2021 was great.

No chance of 4 good years in a row, sorry.

The festival wasn't on so doesn't count.

2021 pissed it down on the Sunday.

The site taking a hammering in 2020 and 2021 would have improved the chances of this year being a belter.

I must remember it wrong as I'd thought one of the lockdown years was bad weather...at least for a few of the days

Pretty sure one year was at least cold and grey, like 16 degrees with wind.

Absolutely not! I'm firmly in the 20+ with no wind camp. Anything below that is far too chilly on an evening.

Less than 20 is far too chilly in the day let alone the night

My manifesto. 18 max. 14 min. Sun and cloud. Gentle breeze. No rain.

I may allow a few hours of 20C on saturday afternoon for people who like that sort of thing.

I'll go out and deliver leaflets and knock on doors for this.

Glorious would be pushing it a bit. Scorcher on Wed, drizzle Wed night, overcast, dry and mild for the rest of festival (so perfect festie weather really, but not exactly glorious!). On the other hand, if it's been like that for 4 years in a row, maybe this is what weather is like at the end of June now! I am a blind optimist mind you!...#thereisapattern

I certainly remember being sat in the sun in the Park on Saturday afternoon .  My recollection is Sunday was a bit cooler, with a bit of drizzle in the morning around the time Slaves were on the other.

2018 was even better but it was a fallow year so by that reasoning we've already had 4 in a row. Of course it does mean that 5 is even more unlikely.

2012 would have been a big washout

2006 would have been a 30 degree wall to wall scorcher

And 2017 was pretty much perfect weather.

This isnt good news at all.

Or maybe global warming is timing it just right for Glastonbury to always be perfect weather going forward

Weather here has been mixed enough that anything is possible. 

[paulshane]

Standard May stuff here, warm, then showers, then warm. The positive part is that it's been quite dry so far this year, so any rain is just getting sucked away, fingers crossed it stays that way 🙂

Im too old to be reactionary or to troll this forum. It is as grey as a nun's nasty out there.

Yep we've had a bit of that as well but also had blue skies and sunshine so anything is possible.
