There's just a week to go until Glastonbury kicks off (June 27) and all our eyes are on the skies.

Will there be another downpour? How about a blazing heatwave for a change?

So while we're working out how to fit our Wellingtons and whether or to pack our sunglasses, we've been spending Friday afternoon coming up as bands as weather.

Here are some we've come up with so far:

System Of A Downpour
Sleet Foxes
Black Ice T
Sunny and Cher
Over-Cast
John Hail's Blues Breakers
Girl's A Cloud
