It's like pushing steel into concrete ground..

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. There isn’t enough shade at Glasto.  Lots of sunburnt people already.  It’s a hot one alright…

they apparently could care less or they would have shade areas. Seemingly raising ticket costs doesnt provide them with an inkling to think about global warming.

I’m on site and can confirm it is very, very hot. Would it anger the weather gods / be typically British if we started complaining that it’s too hot?

There is definitely such thing as too hot. Like 2023 and 2019. Too hot, all weekend. The heat is relentless.

its meant to cool down over the weekend to perfect festival temperatures 🤞🏼

Anyone that comes here that complains about heat when they could be standing in torrential rain is an idiot...

 

Sorry man

Well forgive me for being the idiot that sees dehydration and sun stroke as incredibly dangerous 🤠

2019 legit nearly killed me (spent a load of the festival in the hospital bit). It can definitely be too hot!

These sound awful.  Please tell me how I can prevent them.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Raining!

Morning update for the stragglers - everything's an upgrade, no rain, Sunday now looks clear, it's all sunshine and cloudy spells. 😎

Light showers at the mo. Looks like it’ll clear up.

Drizzle for next hour. Bear in mind last week this front was 9 hours of rain. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Folk who want the dust kept down will all be asleep missing it

[Dave_c]

I thought I could hear rain on the Tent, must have been very light as i was wondering if it was drizzle or next doors foil blowing around.

This came up on my Timehop today. Ten years ago - the 2014 storm approaching the Other Stage.
