The Weather Thread 2022

[CaledonianGonzo]

Picturing these lads saving a fortune on their gas bills what with never having to heat their houses and being physically unable to take hot showers.

Getting serious 2005/2007 vibes from latest GFS model. Biblical storm after 3 weeks of bone dryness. Approaching game over.

A hefty glug of water over the head works wonders

I was throwing pints of water in my face all Friday + Saturday, until the front came in after Lizzo.

The coop and some ice is your friend and having a hat you can soak in water 

how have I never thought of this?! what a great idea!

[stuartbert two hats]

There are hats with water activated cooling crystals. Sadly they seem to be all sold out on Amazon.

[CaledonianGonzo]

There might have been one left if you hadn't bought two of them, etc etc.

All this talk of hellfire temperatures has reminded me of the hottest place on planet Earth back in June 2010. Yes of course, the Avalon Field during the Wurzels performance.

I managed to find a tiny bit of shade by lying on my side right up close to a revolving kiddy size carousel ride. I must have looked proper dodgy but I was surviving which was the important thing at that moment.

Cut Capers on Avalon in 2019 was similar over 40 degrees!

I managed to get a bit of Shade on the saturday. Sat under an overhanging bit of tent. Listening to Riva Starr. It was boiling

Didn't experience that thank goodness. How people were happy and jumping around actually inside the Avalon tent during that Wurzels hour still amazes me to this day. It felt like 40 outside, they must have been literally cooking in there.

None of the hotter temps predicted so far are anywhere near how hot it was in 2017/19, are they? Pretty sure they reached low-mid thirties.

The poncho I’ve just bought also doubles up as a small shelter to protect you from the sun. Can even be used as a groundsheet too. 
 

Definitely keeping it in the Daybag for whatever the weather throws at us.

I was front row and it was so hot. The bands shirts were see through by the end!

That was boiling! I was feeling well rough on top of that, think I got sunstroke the day before. They were brilliant though!

Yep probably my favourite of the last festival. Looking forward to hopefully catching them on Thursday bandstand this year.

I was in there, about 4 rows back. Don't remember it being hot at all. Mind you I'm happiest when I'm in the sahara desert,  so prob not the best judge compared to some on here.

Keep up the good work weather thread-ers! 👍

I come here to ensure I'm as worried & confused about the potential weather situation as possible in the festival run up - don't want to build up unrealistic expectations susceptible to a thorough dashing.

If it starts to get too positive & conclusive in here, I stop visiting. 😁
