REVELLERS heading to T in the Park were today warned to pack their wellies amid predictions of more torrential rain.

Tens of thousands of revellers are set to head to Balado in Kinross for Scotland's biggest music festival.

The showground has a daily capacity of 80,000 and 60,000 are expected on Friday night when the Arctic Monkeys launch the three-day festival.

Weather forecaster Julian Mayes, of the MeteoGroup UK, said: "There will be several hours of continuous rain every day.

"It will also be a bit breezy, but it won't be chilly."

He added: "Although rain is forecast it won't be as wet as Glastonbury!"

However, festival organisers were laid back about the forecast. A spokeswoman said: "We always tell fans to plan for every eventuality because the weather is so unpredictable.

"They should take their waterproofs and they should also take sun tan lotion. It's best to make sure you're come prepared for any eventuality."

The grim forecast comes after Glasgow and the surrounding area squelched through one of its wettest Junes on record and July got off to a sodden start.

Almost twice the amount of rain fell over the city than normal last month and umbrellas were vital even though on most days it was too warm for coats.

In June, Glasgow commuters suffered rail chaos when torrential rain resulted in rising water dumping debris on tracks which triggered major delays and cancellations to services in and out of Queen Street Station.

Glasgow's South Side was badly flooded during one prolonged downpour, with fire crews called out to 30 separate incidents in just three hours across Shawlands, Clarkston, Langside, Battlefield and Polmadie.

There was also severe flooding in Springburn, Calton and Yorkhill while heavy rain forced the closure of Holyrood Secondary and St. Convals Primary until roof repairs were carried out.

Julian Mayes said: "Glasgow has an average rainfall in June of 2.5 inches but last month it was between 4-5 inches. It was certainly one of the wettest on record."

There was also less sunshine for Glasgow which traditionally gets around 180 hours in June.

Last month, however, it plummeted to just 162 - a loss of almost five hours for each week.

And the bad news is there's more bad weather to come.
