When it's too hot it makes 8 hours of each day very hard to cope with

When it's too wet it makes 24 hours of each day very hard to cope with

My sentiments exactly and put more succinctly than I’m able to. Thank you.

Anyone know a native american sun dance? Must be a youtube tutorial somewhere

Give me heat over rain any day like.

Just 20 days before the nights start getting shorter.

You don’t know what a hot festival is like until you’ve been to one that needs water cannons installed around the stages to spray a fine mist on to everyone as the temps are pushing 40 degrees.
 

When you’ve done 7 days of that in a row a little bit of hazy Somerset sunshine is a breeze.

Benicassim 2007 they sent small planes over the top of the campsites to drop water on us so we could cool down!

depends on the too bit. Sunrises at 4am, sets at 10pm, so can be much longer than 8 hours.

Whereas if too wet you just hide in your tent or a beer tent for 24 hours a day.

Why do people want cold weather?

less smelly, less headachy, less flesh, more British.

God Save The Queen.

(I don't want it cold actually, I just don't want it hot. Something like today would be pretty good)

Considering the sun is up when a lot of people 'go to bed' I can't imagine it's too nice trying to sleep in hot weather... In all my camping years I've always avoided being inside a tent on warm days, even poly cotton isn't great on the hottest days. Although I'm not sure what the newer F&B tents are like.

netweather monthly forecast was updated the other day...

Rest of month: Monday 20th June - Tuesday 28th June

Confidence is low for this period, but the most likely outcome is that the weather will stay relatively settled with high pressure often close to or over the British Isles. There is a significant chance that northerly winds may return at times with high pressure becoming centred further north and west, resulting in western areas having the warmest and sunniest weather, and the east, especially near North Sea coasts, being more prone to cooler cloudier weather. Temperatures are thus expected to be above normal again in the west, nearer normal in the east, with most regions drier than average, and it will also probably be sunnier than normal in the west.

Yep overcast and about 20 is perfect although I’m in the minority on this forum who would take 16 over 19 as I just found it too hot, mud is fine as long as it’s not actually raining.

with you there bro.

Saying that it can be too muddy...I've been to some of the spectacularly muddy ones and the novelty soon wears off and it just becomes exhausting.

/\ this.

By the time the gates opened in 2019 the weather thread had 293 pages.

I am so ready for this journey.

[steviewevie]

I want some rain through the night so all the young party people go to bed and I can get some sleep.

Exactly. A period of stable high pressure increases the chances of that happening.

Dry > Wet

Sunny > Overcast

Warm > Blisteringly hot

but this is where the blistering hot definition comes in. For me 25C is blisteringly hot.

And if sun is out during middle of day and no breeze then can definitely feel blisteringly hot for poor old stevie.

Ok. This is what I want, what I really really want.

Morning Cool and cloudy till late morning, sun/cloud for a few hours, cloud till late afternoon, sunny in evening. Max temp 18C. Night time min temperature 14C. No rain. Slight breeze. I will not accept anything else.

Ideal for me is low 20s with scattered clouds. That way when the sun comes out you appreciate it more.

[Chip Batch]

Any temperature or amount of sun is better than rain or mud for me. 2010 was hard going during the day but would take that over any of the muddy years without a doubt.

i came home from 2019 looking like a squashie, but what a weekend it was. id love us to have similar weather, stock up on sun cream & bring a bigger water bottle so the trips to the refill points are less frequent. this idea of wanting it cooler because it was too hot is so British. we go abroad for sunny weather so why not when were using our glorious work holidays at the greatest place on earth! 

[JoeyT]

Give me a Glastonbury where shade is so sought after people are practically hugging bins over any other type of weather any day of the week.

[fightoffyour]

Max 18 C 😂 Fucking 3 layers all day, bring your big coats everyone
