I’ve barely touched a drop of alcohol since I’ve been here. Been too hot to drink.

WBC Executives are convinced they sell more when its hot - I know that is not true - best sales are made when its overcast but dry - glad I am not stuck in a Counter bar as they are murder when they are hot - today I am staying in the shade until 7pm and then walking up the crew path to Arcadia (its in shade due to the trees) and going into the crew bar for a cold drink - stuff doing that in the afternoon.

It's definitely too hot. Headed to permaculture to try and get a cool/quiet spot and I've never seen it anywhere near that rammed before.

I had a heavy one on Thursday so yesterday was absolute hell for me, kept it more sensible last night and I'm definitely faring better, but I really can't be spending more than 10-15 mins out of the shade. Really glad there's not much I fancy seeing today.

Kept getting notifications from the app saying bands I wanted to see start soon, but I couldn’t bear to think about the walk there in the heat.

It's really hot, but it can't detract from my enjoyment in any way. Favourite place on earth, no matter the weather.

Is today the record breaker? It certainly feels like it! Still loving it or course, and I generally like the heat, but my word is it hot here! ?

[Northtim]

Too hot today, Greenpeace is a welcome refuge. Nice shaded bar which isn’t that busy (so I probably shouldn’t be sharing this!), and some decent bands & dj’s.

I’d be interested to see if main stage crowds are affected. I ain’t venturing away from here until Lizzo when it will be cooler.

[StormCrow]

I need to get stuff out of my tent and I'm scared to go in! ??

Not boozing till later. Water to stay hydrated till then

Likewise. Slowthai has been binned off and it’s not looking great for Johnny Marr.

Managed a 40 minute bop to Ezra Collective before scuttling to Greenpeace to die without dignity.

Anybody know what temperature in Williams Green are saying? I don't know if I can face Fontains DC

Currently sat in the first bit of shade with space I've seen all day; by the entrance to the John Peel field.  Not even interested in anyone there until Low at 6 but can't see myself giving up the shade.

From the clay like mud of 2016 to the unforgiven heat of this year, safe to say I've done both extremes!

[Crazyfool01]

I’ve had to downgrade the pyramid stage to just the cap as a temporary measure ... I still prefer this though ... cooling down in a bit ... can’t say I mind that either 

[Avalon_Fields]

Not too hot for me, adapting with less alcohol, I’ve done plenty so I’m 100% happy and would have this above the mud every year. 

[Peroni]

Just need to be prepared to adapt.  

Suitable clothing 

Water and an umbrella....

Its tiring for sure, but miles better than rain 

[JSmurphy]

Found a spot of shade right at the back of the Pyramid field to watch Hozier from. In the same boat as a few it seems - not a drop of booze until it's much cooler.

Here comes the cloud. Oh my god that’s good

Honestly can’t see a single person on site who isn’t suffering from the heat in one way or another. It’s ludicrous. As a staunch advocate of hot weather at festivals, I’m seriously considering changing my stance. Literally no respite from it this year - just a constant attempt at trying and failing to find shade.

The best festival weather is no rain, peaks of 20 degrees with a mild breeze and overcast conditions in the morning to the tent doesn't boil and you can get decent sleep. Hot festivals are grim (but preferred to rain) because it makes it much harder to enjoy bands and sleep is restricted.

This brief cloud cover with accompanying breeze is probably one of the best things I've ever experienced.

It’s getting clouded over from now on, temps will drop right down to 17-18 by 9pm

It's beautiful. Everyone around us let out the biggest cheer of the weekend. Weather is perfect now.

Top tip- whenever you think it’s too hot, close your eyes and think of 2016.

Somehow the heat doesn’t seem so bad

[kalifire]

Blessed clouds!! We’re over the worst now folks. Temperature will drop and it’s Saturday night at Glastonbury. 

I basically forewent everything I wanted to see this afternoon. Glad it wasn’t tomorrow m, when my schedule is more packed. 

A power nap at the Lizard tent in Green Futures sorted me out so now it’s full steam ahead for the evening. 

[tumbles]

My god it’s sexual now, this afternoon was just too much to do anything
