If you look out the window it's a grey damp ol' Monday, after a weekend of intermittent sunshine and storms. Mother nature knows it's nearly time for Glasto...
With less than a week to go, the bespectacled folks at the Met Office are forecasting an 'unsettled picture' (read also: rain, sun, gales and more rain) in the days leading up to the festival. But the outlook is slightly better for the weekend.
Barry Gromett, from the Met Office, told our friends at Virtual Festivals: "We're predicting a cold northerly flow over the country with an Atlantic depression coming in. Expect below average weather throughout the week. Temperatures should be more back to normal by the weekend, with highs in their late teens and early twenties and even periods of sunshine."
Barry concluded: "It is very hard to predict the weather a week ahead, but from this distance it doesn't look like it's going to be a great weekend."
The BBC website contradicts that a little bit here. They've also got a handy website online @ bbc.co.uk/music/glastonbury.
In short, dig out your wellies and lots of spare socks. Or if you're a big corporate company, please consider sponsoring a generator and a giant wind machine, or at least some tumbledryers or towels. Alternatively, dive in the mud when you get there and live with it! Post your suggestions below...
