So I reckon it'll be ok. I was on Pennards with my tent facing uphill. I had to pick it up and empty it like a jug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope I manage to have a decent time. If its 5 days of heat, I wont. I'll hate it & want to go home. A day I can handle.

2019 Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 GFS27, GFS+, and ECMWF all showing no rain for Wed/Thur/Fri. Top day temp 23c, low overnight 16c, light breezes. Pretty perfect I'd say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelarmy Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Metcheck cares about the people on arrival day. They think the heatwave kicks in the next day which suits me fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only got 3 out of 8 models reaching the start of the festival. We should have a much better picture by Friday or Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt cool me down or help me to feel like I can breathe properly, but it did seem to take a headache away, so Im taking it again.

Suprefan Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Just wait when its 30+ for 5 days straight and there will be people begging for it rain or cool off. Still dont know why anyone wants sun the whole weekend there. Not the environment for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the weather is hot all weekend, Im not planning on seeing any act before about 7 in the evening. I will just stay at my tent I think. Then come out when the temps drop. Probably venture out for Rick Astley though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stopwn1981 Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 It’s all really rather simple. Low/mid 20s in the day, light breeze, occasional bit of cloud cover, warm evenings and no lower than 15 overnight. Maybe a rain shower about 5am each morning. Nice and settled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna transport everyone to indio to see how they deal with these temps and tell me why they want it in a couple weeks time. Theres hardly any f**king shade anywhere at glasto and the fest wont even take it into account to protect attendees. Last year they laid all those extra wood chips and stuff for heavy rains which never happened so it was a bigger pain to walk around in some spots. Provide some shade and itll make a huge difference. During jai paul weekend 2 you could see the thermometer side stage inside the tent he was performing in and it was 90+ degrees and the sun had already gone down. Underworld was after and I was soaking after that set cause it was steaming in there.

Im about 15st 8, but Im 6ft 4. So most people would say Im pretty average for my height. I dont have issues in the cold. At all. I go watching Oldham Athletic every week. Anyone who's ever been to Boundary Park will tell you it's not the warmest... I cant remember the last time I wore a jumper / hoodie under my coat to a game. Even in minus temps, I'd be too hot. I am never cold. The meme of a bloke in shorts in the snow... that's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip you've possibly been given before, but for yourself and any other people like me who suffer badly in the heat, invest in cooling bedding stuff. As soon as it hits June I get so grumpy for three months because I never get a good night's sleep in the heat, but I went on Amazon and bought a super light cooling blanket, as well as pillows and a mat for under my bedsheet with cooling pads inside to help cool me down in the night. Cost about £60 all-in-all and has worked wonders so far this year. If temps are looking at the hotter end of those predicted, I'm at least bringing the blanket and the pillows to Glasto.
