The Weather Thread 2019

[scaryclaireyfairy]

Even though this would be a little hot for me, I've long accepted that I'm in the minority (along with Mr Hats). I think the 'perfect' weather is likely 14-18C and a little cloudy on Wed, Thur morning and Monday. That should make set up and break down comfy enough for the vast majority and ideal for bimbling and imbibing. Thur pm to Sun evening can be chilly mornings then anything up to 24C with a fresh breeze and light cloud. Oh and at least one light overnight shower for the dust.

I'm sure the Pilton forcefield can make that happen if we all hope strongly enough.

This year was the GOAT.  Topped even the glories of 2010.

I would take this year every year, even the 30c or whatever on the Saturday. As long as you're not hungover its fine.

The fact the back of my hands were still peeling earlier this week suggests otherwise. 

Factor 50. I didnt burn too bad this year either.

2017 is the GOAT. I've no idea which parts of it were too cold @Mr.Tease? Obviously not Wednesday! I remember Sunday being a little much under the sun with no shade during the disco double bill at the Pyramid.

It was a bit, but it didnt last for too long.

[stuartbert two hats]

21c-22c all day. That'll suit me.

[Ommadawn]

I'm sure the weather gods will produce something special for the 50th anniversary.

[uscore]

Cloudy dry and warm all day and night.

[Crazyfool01]

weather or no weather that is the question ? 

[blutarsky]

Some of you lot are nuts, there's no such thing as too hot! 

As long as it's dry it can get as hot as it likes for all I care. 

[fightoffyour]

I went for a run still shitfaced from the night before in 38 deg midday sun in Madrid last weekend, so yeah no such thing as too hot for me even when drunk / hungover.

I can of course see how such heat can be too much for some people, but I can’t fathom why anyone would be wishing for jacket / hoodie weather instead of T-shirts if not Taps Aff. Bizarre.

Taps Aff?

I ran between most sets, didn’t eat anything of significance until 1am 99% with Taps Aff. Went home a couple of pounds lighter and still got hammered by bed time every night. Loved the sun and the crowds. 

[Anarion]

I'm hoping for an improvement on the weather next  year. This year was alright, but I didn't appreciate how much the temperatures dropped Wednesday and Sunday evening!

Loved the heat during the day.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It was Saturday night that it was cold.

[stuartbert two hats]

You lot need to get much fatter,  the Saturday wasn't exactly cold.

That's because you had your two hats on that trapped in all the heat!

The Saturday night temp almost halved from what it was during the day, I actually put a hoodie on that night. 

Saturday daytime was scorchio. Was the kind of heat that even when wearing a thin T shirt and shorts you were suffering. When I suddenly realised that I had a full on river flowing down my leg and I know for a fact i've not pissed myself! Sweaty legs were a weird sensation and not usually a thing that occurs in the UK

I get what you are saying about the drop in temperature being large and therefore more noticeable but it's sort of meaningless to talk about temperatures halving when 0 is an arbitrary point. You wouldn't say the change from 20 to 10 is comparable to the change from 10 to 5.

I think it probably felt a lot cooler on Sat evening after 3 days of temps - especially given Sat till about 3-4pm was really tough.

Yeah that's the bit I'm agreeing with it's just the use of the term half. It isn't halfing anything meaningful, maybe if the temperature in Kelvin halfed.
