Such a massive improvement in my mood and vibe from 24 hours back. It's such an impactful thing.

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

It was relentless. Not just one day the whole festival. 
 

still preferred it to 2016 though 

[CaledonianGonzo]

2016 at least had a dope lineup.  2007 was near peak late noughties MOR.

is a strong breeze forecast?

Every time I've checked BBC weather it's said 'moderate breeze' every day which is a noticeable breeze.

I am hoping that the breeze / wind forecast will be really useful at making people feel more comfortable if it is warm, especially @FuzzyDunlop

Problem with that is that it can also feel so cooling that people forget to cover up / put on suncream.

Basically, bring an umbrella. 

For either shade or showers.

ok...but BBC also says 18-20. The latest GFS which has hotter weather also has less wind (I think).

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

Rubbing cold water on your ear lobes works as well, instantly cools you down

[kalifire]

Get to a tap and put your wrists up under the cool water. It’ll send that cooler blood around your body.

Apologies if teaching anyone to suck eggs but these are a great idea. I go on fairly long runs in the any heat fuelled by 500mls of this without taking any fluids with me. Always give anyone in our group some in the mornings to kickstart the day; great hangover help too. They sell them in Tesco.

I don't remember the rain at all. I only remember Bjork was too quiet from that year!

Gonna call it now… 300 pages+ by gates open on Weds. 🤯

It was - Oh so quiet.

 

The Sunday evening and night was really, really grim. It was still hammering down Monday morning as we were leaving, then stuck in the car park for hours.

We were on 293 pages when gates opened in 2019. Can we beat it?

I use these often due to sweating a lot when cycling/running/swimming, the pink grapefruit flavour are the best.

I don't mind it so much on a Sunday as you're going home the next day, but yes being stuck in the car park with a hangover is pretty grim.

And they had more rain from 27th onwards, now it's getting lower!

Hangover, sunburns etc are preventable. They're not a reason why beautiful weather is a bad outcome.

Also, they do cola ones with caffeine if you need something to get you going in the morning, or later at night if you're not into the naughties.

Getting happy I topped up on this stuff. It's pricey, but by God it's good and because it lasts so well you have to reapply a lot less frequently.
