Nice gadget Jo, but I presume once we've arrived and set up for the week, we return to the old tried and tested method of keeping our fingers crossed!! Anyway, it's not going to rain..... [8D]

Looks like Reading will be warmer than Leeds... As long as that's the case I'm happy! ;-)
... Good job the CATs get waterproof jackets though!

The first three years of CATs when I worked at Leeds it was always nicer weather up North... Last year I worked Reading and it was nicer weather down South... Hopefully I'm a good weather omen and it'll be the same in 2007!

The metcheck button hasn't updated for most of the summer (25deg. 55% chance of rain). The metcheck site (for Leeds) now has forecasts for Tue 21 (showers, heavier overnight), Wed 22 (showers dying out) & Thurs 23 (cloudy). Not warm though, with a bit of a breeze for the Wednesday arrivals (Catch the gazeboes!)
Expect a heatwave then!

Although you want a decent waterproof for while you're working, I found it was much too warm when I was in the crowds watching the bands.
£1 for a polythene hooded cape from one of the stall onsite did the job for me.

I'm not going to check any more, take shorts and wellys and all will be fine!
