Drink plenty of water Wear light coloured, thin, loose clothing. Stay in the shade as much as possible Eat light in the day Avoid physical activity Be safe! I'd like to add - if the air outside is warmer than the air in your home, shut the windows & close the curtains. I never used to do it because I like the fresh air, but it really does work!

Leyrulion Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 I wonder if in the future we'll start to see festivals cancelling because of the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I think we will 🙁 If the weather forecast over the next 2 days happened over a festival weekend it would be very difficult for the event to keep running with a genuine risk people might die. Alternatively we might see more UK festivals adapt to provide accommodation for extreme heat like at Coachella, with air conditioned tents, water misting stations etc… But that’s a massive infrastructure investment that may never be needed. Not very green either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmillen Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 On a nice warm October weekend it would be fabulous. Dark early so more acts could benefit from light shows. No worries about the sun waking you up or melting in your tent. Dreamy mist over the fields in the morning… 😍 In reality of course it would probably be an autumn storm with gales & driving rain!

I never used to do it because I like the fresh air, but it really does work! Excellent advice, and it does work!!! Try to close the windows early in the morning. If the sun is shining bright then the blinds / curtains part is especially important. Use fans in the house to keep the air moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call 👍 I'm currently working at a large university that are hosting the Commonwealth Games & have huge conference centre's - I fear there will be no option of closing, I'll find out at 6.30am if I can rewrite the menu to cold options 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
