30 here in South London but the breeze is making all the difference. Very manageable.

The last ten days of this thread is vintage Weather Thread. Will be studied for generations.

My little tent over the thermometer fell over earlier. It read 35 degrees in the sun here in Pilton. That was at 11.30. Put it in the shade and it was a more realistic 30 degrees. Perfect partner to a cold pint.

Exactly 😅 that's almost the perfect weather condition, maybe a lighter breeze is better though.

Strong breeze carries sound away on some stages. 
 

Breeze needs to be carefully managed.

I quite like that effect where the sound fades louder or quieter as the wind gusts… when I’m walking past a stage going somewhere else. It’s kind of like a festival audio memory experience thing. 

When I’m actually trying to watch an act though it’s feckin annoying.

I'm suffering with the temps today and I'm mostly inside.  If it were like this at Glastonbury I'd be praying for the sweet relief of rain.

Radiohead Park Secret Set in 2011 was too breezey.  Sounded like the sound was coming from West Holts

Some sensible advice for dealing with festival heat. 
 

Straw hats are great, lightweight and will protect/ears and necks from the worse of the sun. 
 

Handheld water misters. Use one of those in a crowd and those around you will be wanting a face full of spray too. 
 

Obviously stay well hydrated. 

Any recommendations on a water mister?

is a strong breeze forecast?

[benc]

apparently, dipping your fingertips in cold water can lower your body temp by a degree

An empty window cleaner spray or some sorta spray like bottle product. Just make sure and clean it out properly first haha.

Always a bonus if you can’t hear Radiohead.

Does it work the same with cider?

Another very positive outlook from our friends (for now) over at the metoffice:

60mm of rain in one day at Glasto 2007. Did people still enjoy the festival? Can’t imagine I would myself
