CaledonianGonzo Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Suspect it would bring an end to more than the dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Incredible luck last night for The Waterboys, pissing all day and just as we got out of the taxi 2 mins before they came on it stopped raining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My eyes got badly messed up on Saturday and Sunday. They didn't fully recover until a week after the festival. So any help with not going through that again is welcome for me (other than big rain downpours, naturally). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasto Weatherwatch Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Kaleidoscope in Alexandra Palace, London cancelled yesterday as well. I live ten mins away (and was going). I suppose it’s on a hillside so pretty exposed, the site has a lot of trees and it rained all day yesterday, but so far today we’ve had a moderate breeze with a few showers and nothing more. Very sad for the organisers, small business selling there (and Hot Chip). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore a cap, used factor 50 sunscreen often, drank plenty of water, ate a balanced diet regularly, took shade but still suffered from heat exhaustion and really bad eyes due to the dust and sunglare. Even with sunglasses on I sometimes struggled to see the stages. (*Couldn't delete that crying emoji for some reason*). I dealt with the hot weather much better in 2019. For me personally, this year was pretty tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amfy Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 I think for us it was difficult because our shifts meant that Saturday was our only day off during the festival proper, & that was on the back of an overnight shift. The heat just after Aitch was too much & we’d wanted to go to Woodsies but had to hide in the woods instead! I had suncream, water, a good hat, but still my head was absolutely thumping! We really wanted to make the most of that day and just couldn’t. I was dreading our afternoon shift on Sunday but the heat calmed down and it was pleasant.
