Today certainly didn't not feel like it was just 24 of his majesty's finest degrees.

eventually they will move the festival to closer to the equinox...and in the summer months we all live underground.

It never does when you are out in the open and there is little cloud cover. Imagine what it has been like for those doing the build in much hotter temperatures

[Stretlow]

I agree. My husband and I were discussing this yesterday. Getting wet/muddy is way worse than getting hot!

Another nice day in prospect, no need to carry waterproofs , brollies etc. footwear trainers,  brilliant!😊

More cloud, please. Bring it down by 2-3 degrees. Then it’ll be perfect. This is too hot. 

When its sunday

This has been stunning so far, hot, but not too hot. Absolute win.

[FuzzyDunlop]

It's been far far too hot, but so far it's been manageable as not had many acts to stand and watch. Can keep it moving & go to random places.

The best bit was the rain on Wednesday, I liked that.

Sunburn - Check,

Had a few randoms check on me to see if I'm ok - Check

I'm having a whale of a time

I hope that last line wasnt sarcasm, Fuzzy! I'll keep my eye out for a sunburnt northerner but I expect there are a few of you. 

We sat in Strummerville for a few hours in the heat of the day yesterday. It was lush.

There's a lot of shade around car henge. If that's of any help. 

[fightoffyour]

Was pretty hot, looking cloudy today though so should be better for some - hope everyone can enjoy the acts they want to see.

Latest GFS runs 18z and 00z both still showing rain on Sunday 15:00-21:00 and a very light sprinkling at midday Monday.

iPhone weather is showing storm risks today and tomorrow but I'm not sure where they're getting that from - GFS showing totally dry.

Temps: Fri 22C, Sat 23C, Sun 25C.

I also think it’s too hot but I spend the hottest hours in the shade, napping for the night time. Still glorious. 

[kalifire]

Current weather is perfect. Sun is there but clouds in the sky and a breeze. Stick!

[uscore]

Now THIS is perfect festival weather.  Cloudy and warm. 

[airwaves]

Did a lot of shade hopping yesterday, Thursday, but mostly they were taken

As band watching starts today am carrying my own shade - umbrella - for judicious don't-piss-othets-off use around site

Got any tips Fuzzy, really struggling with the sun this year… Currently sat back at camp under a gazebo because even the short breaks of sun today are too much. (Thankfully I can watch and hear Pyramid from here) 

[Ayrshire Chris]

The weather has been brilliant for the first three days. Plenty fluids, light clothing, sun cream and don’t try to cram too much in.  Sat up above the park a couple of times, nice and cool breeze and beers.  Lovely

[BBC7BBCHEAVEN]

Yesterday was definitely too much, far too hot even around six for the Foo's.

I don't understand why they don't setup glade like shelters between flags at the other stage / wet Holt's etc., surely it wouldn't obscure any more than the flags but could provide shaded spots to watch bands?

[ICGenie]

Yesterday was perfect. Lively and hot with occasional cloud cover for respite. A bit too cold post-Foos though, had to cover up.
