What's your perfect weather?

[stuartbert two hats]

There's been some discussion on the weather thread about "too hot", with anyone daring to suggest there is such a thing characterised as liking the cold.

What is actually our ideal temperature range?

[Avalon_Fields]

Warm, but I can handle any heat Somerset is likely to have in June. More interested in no rain than heat though.

[Henrik]

I’ll take any heat as long as it doesn’t rain. But 20-21, sunny with a slight breeze is just about perfect Festival weather for me.  

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Anything except rain.

[TabulaRasa]

So long as it doesn’t rain I’m happy with anything. Mid-20s and sunshine would be perfect, but I won’t be greedy!

[sime]

Warm but not sizzling with a bit of rain overnight just to keep things comfortable with the pollen and dusty stuff. 

[doogie]

I love hot weather. Anything up to 30 is lovely, 35 if at a beach or pool.

BUT in festival crowds with limited access to shade and water, anything over 22-23 is uncomfortable.

[Lithoniel]

Anything as long as I can wear trainers all week. 

 

(aka no rain)

18-19 and sunny - like a crisp spring or autumn day.

[Crazyfool01]

I’ve gone 22-23 that’s perfect but anything up to 28 is fine it just needs a few more measures

When you're stood in queues at Siam Park, in Tenerife, with people who just 10 minutes ago were in chlorine filled water, and all you can smell still is b.o... Then, and only then, it may be a little too hot. Think it was officially 36 degrees that day! Pharmacy thermometers (in direct sunlight) were measuring 45!!!

Not 2016

22-23 good for Glasto. Warm but you’re not dying. Manageable with suncream.

Above that is great whenever you can alternate between shade etc but you can’t do that at glasto. 

[rubenz]

I'd say mid twenties but not windy as the wind blows the sounds about. I do like hot temps but only really in humid/tropical places. Wouldn't complain at 30 degrees but adds an additional element in that you get quite greased up with the suncream etc which can be uncomfortable

tbh this is relating to site conditions as the actual fest wasn’t too bad temp & weather wise, bit damp at times. Just don’t want what we had leading up to it.

[BambooShanks]

Anything between 21 and 25 degrees is perfect,  Ideally with cloud cover in the evening to keep the chill away from the night.

If there is to be rain, it is only allowed to fall between 6am and 9am and only enough to keep the dust down. 

 

Seems perfectly reasonable and realistic 

[jparx]

I’d take anything above 17 degrees if it’s not wet. Preferably under 30, sweet spot is around 21. 

[NorwayDave]

coming from above the arctic circle, anything above 15 degrees is toasty, 30 might be pushing it

[Mezhyp1]

Would have voted for a breezeless overcast

Maybe a degree or 2 above, but this is also me. A nice few little fluffy clouds to watch wouldn't go miss

[AlexOvd]

No rain. That's it. 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Perfect for me:

Dry, overcast & around 17 degrees. That would be my dream. 

What's too hot? Anything over about 21, I seriously struggle.

Rain... doesnt bother me at all tbh. I'd rather it not, for other people, but for me personally, I quite enjoy it.

Cold for me, I went 17 or below but would be happy with 18-19. If not that then a cloudy day please.

I don't like the heat so sunny conditions with temps over 20 aren't for me.

(Yes I'm one of those people that prefers cold to hot).

[FuzzyDunlop]

The thing is too. The temps are "temps in the shade"... try finding shade.
