That as may be, I dont doubt that. but the post you replied to isnt me saying I want it to to rain. It's me saying I'd rather it be a temperature everyone can get comfirtable in, without rain. 

More people would prefer Coldplay to King Gizzard to a conservative ratio of 1000:1, but I'm part of the smaller ratio of that too.

I don’t want Coldplay or rain.

Honestly can’t see the decent weather lasting, it never does. Hope I’m wrong though.

Update from Met Office. P sure it’s meant to say Mid June as opposed to Mid July.

I mean it did also rain a fair bit that year if I remember right? Definitely did during the Frightened Rabbit set on Other, I've got a pic of me in a soaked parka.

Controversial opinion but I'd take rain over baking heat any day. 2019 and parts of last year seriously drained me.

A little bit on Friday afternoon yeah and again on Sunday afternoon, odd bit at night but not a whole lot during the day.

Thanks to the comprehensives answers to the charts question. I’ve learned something today

The 12z has come in and it's an improvement on the last couple of runs with a bit of high pressure blocking off the lows and a lot of the rain that comes with it. 

There's a bit of rain showing for tuesday but appears to be light and should clear by the time the car parks open.

Temps on the wednesday are looking warm and more importantly dry.

Thursday is looking cooler but there's light rain about

It's still better than what we had earlier and is encouraging that the high pressure from the continent is doing some work to block the lows coming in. If that high pressure continues to develop and grow, we should be grand.  If not, the rest of the festival could be very unsettled if this run is anything to go by.

It's still going to be at least a week before the runs start to be more accurate but for now the signs appear to be ok, even if it is a bit of a knife edge at the moment.

I can still remember now, 2005 it was, we used to camp up by the cows and the decent toilets so quite far up the hill.
 

There we were around the campfire and as I looked out, lightening, nooooooo said my friends, it can’t be. 
 

Look again! Over there lightening. 
 

And thus we were f**ked!

The end. 
 

Annnnnnnd Body Rockers were cancelled because a bolt went through the roof of the tent during the storm. 
 

So NO f**kING RAIN!!!! 

EVER! 
 

2010 All over again 💪🙏🥳

Their Glasgow gig at the beginning of the tour last august was really good, and yes, the wet stuff can f**k off!

Latest run is in.  And it's a beauty.  

It's maintaining the tradition of being stupidly warm on wednesdays

 

And then Thursday comes along and shows you how its done

 

Don't get carried away but it is glorious to see.

I like them too... But then I was never subject to them over and over on the farm... Could be the Beatles, if they took up slots year after year, I think people would still have gotten fed up with them

2005 was my first Glasto.  I loved it.  And I've been to every one ever since.

So I reckon it'll be ok.
