squirrelarmy Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?!

Glasto Weatherwatch Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 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).

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.

Use one of those in a crowd and those around you will be wanting a face full of spray too. Obviously stay well hydrated. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogster Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

AlexOvd Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) 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.

JoBalls Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
