The Weather Thread 2023

Glade area isn't useful shade - it's very still air and becomes a sweltering hellhole unless the wind is in exactly the right direction. Tried and tested.

Anyway the latest ensembles are something of a joy with the return of high pressure looking fairly certain

Listing shaded areas people may not have considered may help.

rules are you can’t have tents etc (I.e acoustic tent doesn’t count)

I’ll start:

Permaculture

glade done (under trees area)

The spike bar

The Wood area 

many more?

I don't think it's the lack of shade as suchtl that's the issue... it's more that all of those areas you've listed don't have the 'main stage' acts that Fuzzy wants to see...

Yorkshire law, anything over 12c it's shorts

Yorkshire here too and there are kids in my son's school who wear shorts all year round - hard as nails!

Exhaustion hit me when Ross was on on Sunday. Found the little garden in the sacred space. Very tranquil, shady and cool. Turned out the exhaustion was COVID 🙄

He used it the other day in the beer price thread.

That's context appropriate. But seems to be no need for him to rear up in here - at least for now. But we must remain vigilant.

Agreed. He may stay right the f**k outta this thread.

To be honest I'd wear shorts year round.  When I go hiking it's almost always shorts even in snow.  My legs almost never feel cold.

Luckily this year, I have no "Must See Acts" Barring The Hu, Viagra Boys & Elton.

Sadly, I might have to swerve The Hu if it's 27 degrees in the Shade. But I should be able to see Reg.

A few pages late, but this feels appropriate...

I'll be honest, I'm 100% NFRNFC but in 2010 even I had a moment of delirium on Saturday afternoon.

For the sake of an hour could you really not brave it, even in the shade by the sound desk?  If not, have you actually had this medically checked out?

I got mild sunstroke on the Friday.  Spent hours in the Pyramid/Other fields and stupidly had left my hat at the tent.  Entirely my own fault.  Still take that over a muddy one though.

Haha. Good point.

I had a lovely Power Nap in the hammock in the shade in the permaculture garden on Saturday last year.

Take a pop up toilet tent and use it whenever you're watching a band 👍

[Avalon_Fields]

All the small stages in Green Futures are not only shaded, but the tents are open allowing airflow, and most important you can usually get in without a crush (Small World, Mandala, Lizard).

Its not just a matter of braving it. It's actually enjoying it.  I dragged myself to the proclaimers in 2019, but it was a massive struggle. It was a real war of attrition. That's not how it should be.

I have a UV umberella. But that gets in the way at a stage & is unfair on others.

🤣🤣🤣 Poor Dunlop....I can't take the heat so I'll probably be seeing a bit less although I think I was being a bit ambitious with my lineup plan anyway but bloody hell I really feel sorry for him

Fair point.  Maybe the UV brolly in front of the sound desk so you aren't really blocking anyone's view?
