I will do, and Ill hopefully enjoy it, but an essential part of the festival is being able to see acts. Looking less likely now. Bit of perspective. Really sorry to hear this mate. Plenty of time for it to change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt drink or do anything else after Friday in 2010. A featival should just be about enjoying yourself, not having to worry about your health That's a real shame. I really hope those Friday to Sunday temps stay in the lower 20's for you FuzzyDunlop. And for me as well come to think of it. Late 20's can be a bit exhausting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't over do it in the day, and enjoy the evenings without freezing your nuts off. Nothing like the sunset slot when it's a glorious day.

I didnt drink or do anything else after Friday in 2010. A featival should just be about enjoying yourself, not having to worry about your health The predicted temperatures aren’t as high as 2010. I appreciate that you suffer more than most but just about everyone struggled in the daytime in 2010. The ditches were actually full of people trying to find the slightest bit of shade. However, sometime between 6-7pm it became delightful as the sun eased off. We ended up doing more of a nighttime festival that year after Friday, taking it very easy in the early part of the day and only being right out in the sun for stuff we were desperate to see, no alcohol & plenty of water til the sun started to go down at tea-time, but then being out later than we would at a cooler festival (& sleeping later as a result - foil blankets, eye mask, ear plugs and opening the tent right up at sunrise are really needed to maximise this) If it ends up being a hot festival you need to adjust your routine, but not lose the festival completely - I honestly don’t think it’ll be THAT hot again this time.

FuzzyDunlop Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 I coped with 2010, but that is by far and away my least favourite festival & I saw sod all. Thing is, pay your money - take your chance. Ill just have to deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen many people try it then take it down again an hour later. Agree it's annoying, but serious aside - do people not wear earplugs to bed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat, LOTS of water, SUNCREAM, a light, long-sleeved baggy top so the air can circulate, maybe one of those little 3-legged fishing stools you can fold and carry over your shoulder. You'll be grand.

yosoyyoberdi Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Lol, people have been asking for a sunny and hot festival for months and now 30 is too much to cope. Every festival in southern Europe has higher temperatures and everyone survives. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bags73 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 2010 was easily my favourite festival for the weather, closely followed by 2003 and 2017. 2015 is up there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, as soon as the sun is forecast it's, "Nooo! Not another 2010! We're all fucked!" It's summer, people! Finally! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Tease Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Hmm... so are we looking at a potential 2005 (baking hot, mother of all storms for a day then dry), with a possibility of an upgrade to 2010? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandercs12 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Ive been to festivals in Australia where it can be upwards of 35-40 degrees and they manage just fine. A bit of sun wont shut down glasto. Yes the sun can be exhausting but, i'd rather it be exhausting and sunny with a pint in my hand than a mudbath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wednesday last year repeated over the 5 days would be dangerous. I'd sacrifice my daytime comfort for a total absence of 2016 however.

I don’t cope well In the sun and spent the weds ‘17 sat under a tree in the shade sipping water. I try not to drink during the day and I find that helps. Plenty of sunscreen and a hat. And as others have said an umbrella too for walking around. A small spray bottle of water helps wonders for the face. Take it easy and avoid any mid day sun.
