It's going to be a great festival...



Slight sprinkle early hours of Thursday to keep the dust down. 

(If only this was true huh?)

Stick.

Imagine if that was the average of what the weather's actually been over the last few years - not sure why we'd talk about it so much!

[guypjfreak]

That'll do.. 

Fuck as long as it don't R... I'm cool old sons

If the forecast is a bit shit... You know it makes sense.

I'm trying to remember what time of year I get invested in this thread. Not for a couple of months yet I don't think.

It’s April onwards for me. Not the bollocks in those long range forecasts but the amount of rain in the months leading up to the festival. That affects the ground conditions, water table and the possible damage to the site caused by the build.

Heard a prediction  yesterday of extra hot weather for June  not because of el nino, but cos of the other thing.

It’s rare to see snow here so I got to try my walking shoes out on the walk to work today and my feet remained dry … pretty quickly it’s thawing though

Cold up here but lovely clear blue skies, ideal weather for a bit of hill walking and trying out new boots. snow expected end of the week.

Give me those beautiful views … maybe not the extreme weather though … although the Somerset hllls of the quantocks and blackdowns aren’t bad If you ever get homesick on any Somerset visits

Just took this from our garden, was up the top of the hills this morning. Bloody freezing but exhilarating

By my calculation, if the weather stays like this between now and the festival then it will probably be muddy. If, however, it eases up and stays like that til June then it will probably be okay. 50/50. Then again, I’m not a ‘professional’ meteorologist.
