I honestly think people on here struggle with the realtive concept of high temperature. 17°+ is very pleasant t-shirt weather. 23+ you will be sweating bullets wandering round a festival 28+ you're absolutely kidding yourself if you think you're going to have a good time at a festival in the UK It’s far lower than 28 that fuzzy has been upset about. Currently nowhere is predicting 28+ every day of the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I survived them both. I guarantee if I dont go next year, it'll be my kind of weather It genuinely wasn’t a dig either, just an observation that the heat can really affect your experience negatively.

I didnt take it as 1. Its the same argument Id have if it was colder... "Its an outdoor's festival in Britain. If it is cool / rainy, you just have to deal with it" I have to deal with the heat as best I can. It's tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunk pumpkin Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Been to a lot of wet, muddy Glastonbury’s and a lot of very hot one’s recently. I’ll take a hot one (even 2019) over a cold and muddy one. I can cope with either but I’d rather sit in the sunshine and need to cool down than stand in the rain/mud and be miserable BUT each to their own and regardless I hope everyone has a blast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting around between stages in 2016 was an absolute nightmare But that's wet and dry, I'm talking purely hot and cold. Glasto is blazing sunshine, high humidity (the real killer) when it's hot with very little opportunity for shade (thankfully on Wednesday last year they opened the acoustic tent a bit so people could get out of the sun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a heat person either and the scottish blood comes to the fore, without a strong breeze blazing sun wrecks me and particularly my ability to think. Bit of shade, splash of water and a fan and I can get back to sanity. This is also why I got so into the electrolytes thing as all the sweating ruins my balance. Stay hydrated, carry some shade for the most intense part of the day and avoid still air and I was still moving through most of the insane temps at last year's Boomtown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive also bought a round your neck battery operated fan. As crap as it looks my mate has 1 & it is better than you think. About £13 from Amazon.
