The Weather Thread 2022

[st dan]

I think if the temperatures get ‘too hot’ for some then they’re probably best changing their plan for the bands they originally intended to see, in order to avoid the long walking between some of the stages.
This is what a couple of our group did in 2010 and stayed around The Park for the majority of the Saturday. Might not be what you want to do, but it makes it more manageable if you can see shade breaks within one area.

I really think they might have to move festival to earlier in June or May if this becomes the norm...or just provide stuff for hot weather...water cannons, more shaded areas, air con.

Massive swimming pool is what we need. Might be a slight health and safety concern with all the excess drink and drugs being consumed though.

because of good weather?!

Believable tbh.  I know of a few people who got sunstroke in 17 and 19, and my entire group was broken on the Thursday afternoon in 19 when we couldn't find any shade. If people like Fuzzy are really struggling with no escape from it I could see it as an unfortunate option

Yeah let's move it to February to pacify all the psychopaths who don't like nice weather.

The only thing grimmer than that would be a massive dirty sex pond jacuzzi

The festival has always been linked to the summer solstice. 
 

Shall we move Christmas as well just because it gets a bit cold?

About handling the heat - I find taking it very easy Wednesday and Thursday will help... take care / minimise time sat in the open drinking will help 

[tjfish]

STICK!!! STICK!!!!!

No more whining, otherwise it'll get wetter OR hotter.

they're the cooler days. I'm going to go for it on those...and then go home Friday.

Cannot believe there are complaints about mid twenty degree weather oh my days, it's literally perfect imo - plenty of beer/water, stick a hat and shades on and job's a goodun. Shorts and tees all round with no wellies in sight? Just the thought brings tears to my eyes.

thurs / weds are the best days anyway!

 

The reason why I say take it easy on those days, I find it easier to handle the heat on the main days because there's lot going on you're mind if off heat a bit

Hold up hold up. I’m at work so how certain are we of a sunny Glastonbury festival now? Is it still KNIFE EDGE? 

[Fred Zepplin]

Do UV brollies actually work? i'm not to fussed with the sun but could do with having something to keep my 2 and 4 year olds out of the sun for a bit

It's still all to play for... it's 2-0 but only half time...

I'll be ok...I'd just prefer it if a bit cooler. I'll probably lay off the booze and stuff a bit more than I would if a more normal temperature, and maybe see less bands. I imagine a lot of people will go a bit nuts because you know, lock down and things, and there will be a few casualties.

Safe to say that if I pack Monday evening I’ll have a good idea?

Put it under the pier to bring even more immersion to Glastonbury on Sea
