Monday in 2016 was glorious.  Lots of people bogged down in car parks trying to leave overnight, early morning, but by midday the entire site was rock hard, solid dry ground.  We packed up but my son's car keys ended up being moved to the main lockup, leading to a few hours of hanging around with the suncream packed.  No one at work could understand how the festival was reported all weekend as a washout and I came back looking like a lobster.

I got sunburnt on the Sat afternoon watching Madness

Dammit - peaked too early. Should have been next week. Although remember next week was forecast to be shit not long ago

Anyway this is extremely possitive for the site building.

Rules out 2016 ground conditions at least

2002 nights- coldest ever - had to wrap a jumper round my head in the tent - never been so cold🥶

Yeah, think I remember that. Stone circle in middle of night and realising it wasn't the drugs, I was freezing.

I was at a golf tourney yesterday. Cloudy, 19oc and breezy - it were glorious.

However, word of warning, I got pretty sunburnt. Don’t let the lower temps and clouds fool you and ruin your weekend!

You would have thought by my age I would have learnt 🦞🦞🦞

If only hats and suncream had been invented. Sadly, they haven't been so we're left with no choice but to burn.

GFS 0Z still looking pretty good...dry, definitely not hot..maybe a bit windy? Can't have everything I guess. Still, plenty of time for it to go downhill again.

[steviewevie]

next weekend still looking pretty hot

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's peaking too soon 😕

Love the sound the flags make when there is a bit of wind though

I just had to walk on some metal trackway....the sound brings back so mamy memories.

Accuweather making me nervous this morning!

[Aragorn]

The ensembles look pretty good. Operational run has no rain

Metcheck are now predicting 0.1mm of rain during the whole festival and average temperatures of 18/19 degrees. STICK!

I have both on. Unfortunately, I still burn. You might be lucky & don't. I don't even go brown after, just red. 

I try and stay in when it's hot. That's how I deal with it, but it's an outdoor festival without aircon, so I cant. If there is an Aircon room I can stay in between 12-4 every day, I can probably handle a heatwave.

Oh God you're right.  And what if it's wet, there's nothing for that either.

Might go for the full Hazmat suit.

Thing is, if it's 30°.  I just have to deal with it or, go home. If it rains, I'd say the same to other people. 

My mum is the same as me... my dad is the opposite, he is forever cold & needs it boiling. (Not sure about the milkman)

Tentative but BBC  forecast looking good

A decent looking GFS this morning. I’d happily stick with that. Shame it will change again tbh. 

IOW festival looking like it will be roasting hot.
