Some sensible advice for dealing with festival heat. 
 

Straw hats are great, lightweight and will protect/ears and necks from the worse of the sun. 
 

Handheld water misters. Use one of those in a crowd and those around you will be wanting a face full of spray too. 
 

Obviously stay well hydrated.

Believable tbh.  I know of a few people who got sunstroke in 17 and 19, and my entire group was broken on the Thursday afternoon in 19 when we couldn't find any shade. If people like Fuzzy are really struggling with no escape from it I could see it as an unfortunate option

You’re telling me these temps are sun stroke territory?!

No those aren't, but the ones talking about 28 and higher are.

[Glasto Weatherwatch]

If the models keep trending towards heatwave territory we might have thundery outbreaks to start worrying about as well (see 2005, only entered the picture Sunday before the festival).

MetOffice weather for the first two days CAN'T be better.

I don't think the forecast is for it to be that high mate. 🙂

Yep this particularly - a bottle/flask of water between alcoholic beverages is a must.

Perfect this. Saying that, it's 25 today here and there's a lovely breeze and totally manageable. Felt there was no wind in 2019 which made it unbearable.

I've mentioned these before, but these sort of things have been really useful for me at hot festivals and holidays:

Out of stock online, but they might be in stores: https://www.bodycareonline.co.uk/product/insette-instant-cooling-spray-3-x-45ml/ and Boots and Superdrug do their own similar version.

Also these are fun, and good for festival showering too:

Might be a bit late for ebay but here's a link anyway: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394112877306?var=662640728670&hash=item5bc2f542fa%3Ag%3Ai4kAAOSwiqdipviu&LH_BIN=1

I know it's all to play for and some of the forecasts will change etc. Staying out of the forecasting bit tbh, madness.

But this thread of the conversation was specifically about whether people would bail if that high forecast does come to pass, which is where the heatstroke bit came in.  🙂

the talk of hot weather was from GFS earlier...doesn't have it up to 28 I don't think..26 is highest

[JoeyT]

There's an irony in me getting back to the office from a walk and opening up a fleece I ordered online the other day.

Always add a few degrees on. Probably top 30 at midday.

[moogster]

I demand that all the calculating power used for cat video viewing and useless comments on news websites to be used to power up weather computer models. Hire a few nobel prizes while you are at it. Those variations do not make sense.

I hope you don’t have to wait for it to come from Yorkshire.

Seriously though I hope for your sake it isn’t another 2019. Mrs Tarw got sunstroke and it was not good.  Keep the faith I’m sure that you can cope with whatever the weather throws at you.

[waynewdk]

Just in Decathlon shop, shall I put these back?

Each one could make a great sun shade for about 10 people. 

[AlexOvd]

If somehow the rain is not falling in the site this weekend, how many days straight we had without any single drop? For sure the ground can take any potential rain, even if it's a storm. Watching videos of the site now it looks extremely dry & dusty.

It’s just hit 30°C in North Essex and the weather is lush for sitting around in - there’s a really nice strong cool breeze. Without the breeze I would literally be melting though and I wouldn’t want to have to be moving around too much today.

I was going to go for a run this lunchtime but these charts have got me right in the feels.

Think it'll be glastocast and a walk now!

Just back from 8 miles along the prom; probably best to wait until this evening.
