Worthy Farm here we come...

It's the final countdown doodle-oo-doo, doodle-oo-doo-doo!! Woohoo!!

It's here at last, last minute rushing around for bits & pieces & time to start organising your trolleys & carts & rucksacks, this, ladies & gentlemen, is it. Your humble forecaster has had one last look at the charts over at netweather.tv (thanks again guys, we really really appreciate your help with this bit of nonsense) and have one last stab at seeing what we're in for over the rest of this festival week.

I've deliberately ignored other forecasts for this, you can find those yourself & see if they look any different, today is just our view on what is going to happen based on the pretty pictures we've been looking at.

Overall, we have a low pressure sitting off SW Ireland that tracks slowly across the the UK as it moves towards Scandinavia, gradually spreading out & less deep as it does so & never quite letting in the high pressure nudging away at it to our West. This low pressure system swirling around us is what's going to give us our showery & unsettled weather over the festival period.

As the system moves across us, it means the wind changes from an initially warm southerly direction to what will be cooler, moister north-weaterly, before returning to our traditional south-westerly that funnels straight through the festival site. Speeds aren't too bad though, around 10mph, so while you might have a bit of flapping canvas to cope with when you're putting the tent up it shouldn't blow down.

Temperatures are nothing to write home about. Expect a maximum of 18-19 during the day, cooler in the moist breeze, and a minimum of around 11-13 under the cloudy nights. Those relatively high overnight temperatures could combine with high humidity to make it feel quite sticky at times, and there could well be early morning mist & lots of dew once the campfire smoke gives the moisture something to condense around, as well as late evening dankness.

The high humidity could also indicate some thundery rumbles here & there, particularly over night Thursday & later on on Friday. Some of that thunder could give us some short sharp showers, but they won't last long, & while they might make things sticky underfoot they won't flood the place.

As for the rest of the rainfall, it's mostly very light & showery, & we may get long periods of just general murk & grey cloud without any significant rainfall at all. If we get a bit of luck, we might get a break in the clouds & no rain for the solstice on Thursday (Stone circle, 4am, be there!), but mostly it's light showers all the way. The exceptions could be the Friday & Sunday headliners, where things should be a lot clearer.

So, overall, the song remains the same - sunny spells, mostly cloudy, scattered showers (some heavy), a bit murky & a bit sticky. There's always time to change though, and people arriving later in the festival could end up telling us that the BBC are predicting sunshine all the way.

Finally, very finally for this forecaster before I pack up my troubles in my old kit bag and head southwestwards, I say this to everyone who has spread alarm with tales of mud, of flood, of torrents of turgid water & gooeyness underfoot: "You don't have a ticket do you?". That's right sap, you're just trying to make me feel like I'm going to have a rubbish time just because of a bit of rain, & it isn't working.

I will be at Glastonbury festival. The festival 400000 people wanted to go to and many thousands more who were too stupid to register for tickets in time wanted to go to as well.

Mud? You think I give a flying fig about mud? Was 2005's storm not worth it for the sheer awesome power of mother nature? Do you think I'd be in the least bit bothered because I might get a bit damp? What sort of moany attitude would that be? This is Britain damn you, Great Britain!

This is the nation that invented cricket, and football, and beer. This is the nation that defeated those uppity Frenchies, saw off the Hun (not once, I might add, but twice), and defeated the Japanese when the Americans needed a bit of help. This is the nation that spread its wings until a third of the globe called Victoria their Queen, that survived the blitz, built railways and spread the joy of tea. Would this sort of attitude have made us great?

Would history recall the battle of Agincourt as gloriously if King Henry V had urged "Once more unto the breach dear friends, once more, ooh hang on tho, bit nippy out eh"? No, I think not.

Would we have been inspired to repel the forces of evil had we heard this over the radiogram? "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, unless it's raining then we'll have to wait a bit - Tuesday alright for you?".

I don't think so weatherwatchers, now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party, to take this damned festival by the scruff of the neck & kick it into life. We are the festival, we are what makes it great, and we will prevail over a bit of drizzle early in the morning brightening up to give sunny spells later in the afternoon but some possible showers in the evening.

Get your ticket in your hands, get to Pilton and let's get it on.

There

    Any chance of some photos and a little piece about why? Why damn it? Why?

    I'm still in a state of shock & I had wellies & a coat. I fell face first into it & I had a small wee down my very own leg. I'm still disturbed.

    I found a little piece of mud stuck to the back of my earing last night & I cried.

    To find out if you overpronate when [url=http://cheapnikenz-store.webs.com]Nike NZ[/url] you run, go to a running shoe store (not a general sporting goods store) and ask for a gait analysis. Some will have a treadmill that can analyze your gait, while others rely on experienced salespeople. Bring a pair of old running or sports shoes with you--the wear pattern of the midsole will reveal how your foot lands.
    Those who love sailing and boating should go for deck shoes that are made from tanned leather. Not only are they water resistant but they also dry out faster. The soles provide a strong grip and at the same time can keep your [url=http://fornikeaustralia01.webs.com]Nike Australia[/url] feet from getting wet most of the time.
    . Shop for shoes at the end of the day. This might seem like a rather odd tip, but the truth is that our feet swell up during their day. The extent of this swelling depends on the age of the shopper and the kind of shoe she is looking for. As you might expect, tight shoes that put pressure on the foot, like high heels, can cause quite a bit of swelling, which is why it is best to shop for them at the end of the day.
    In America Brogues are called wing tips as the decorative holes on the toe cap are in the shape of a 'W', resembling a bird unfurling its wings. They are further defined today as full, half and quarter brogues. The fractions refer to the amount of broguing (amount of perforations) on the shoe.
    When packing shoes, I always tried to stuff a pair of socks inside to help retain the shape of the shoe and absorb any traces of leftover moisture before wrapping the pair in paper. This practice required that the box be unpacked in a timely manner to have access to the socks that matched the rest of the wardrobe.
    Cubbies are a great option for storing your shoes as well. You can put one pair in each cubby opening for very easy access. If you store multiple, smaller shoes in each cubby, place them so their bottoms are touching. This will prevent one shoe from getting another dirty. Take [url=http://fornikeaustralia01.webs.com]Nike Shoes Australia[/url] extra care storing high heel shoes so one pair doesn't scratch the other.
    Just about everyone loves a good pair of shoes. We have our favorites perhaps some for different occasions and perhaps some not. Shoes are chief for matching [url=http://cheapnikenz-store.webs.com]Nike Shoes NZ[/url] the clothes we wear. Sometimes this is obvious and sometimes it's not. And everyone has those shoes kept stored in the closet we still love to wear.
    The rubber sole bring health to individuals who buy vibram five fingers, but also troubled individuals. Because the rubber sole vibram designed is so thin that people consider it can not adapt to winter running. In contrast to general shoes, even they are thin, what ideal of five fingers are that drawing heat from performing exercise.
