He's advising those to stay in their tent until midday to avoid most of the wet conditions.
"An advisory is not a weather warning. It's kind of like a heads up, could get wet and windy in places at times," he says.
"The worst of it at the moment looks to be probably early Saturday morning or late Friday night."
"Prepare for rain, especially on Saturday and early Sunday. Sunday night - you might want to think about someone coming to collect you!"
So if you're braving the Electric Picnic campsite this weekend - pack the umbrella and prepare for the worst.
