Festivalgoers fight to keep cool as 30C heatwave hits Glastonbury | Glastonbury 2025
Glastonbury festivals support themselves for what is expected to be the hottest day of the big meeting with 30 ° C estimated through Somerseet.
On a site with a small shadow, about 200,000 ticket owners used what precautions to cool or prevent the sun, from umbrellas, somros and ice cream to the battery -powered fans.
The UK Health Safety Agency (UKHSA) released the second amber Heat health warning within two weeks, which covers the festival and the south -west of the UK and other parts of the country and will last until 18:00 on Tuesday.
Amber warning means that the heat effects are likely to be felt throughout the health care and that it can affect the wider population, not only the most vulnerable one.
The festival organizers gave advice through online and application, including drinking plenty of water from 800 plus taps of the site and pointing to the medical facilities on the valuable farm.
As temperatures reach the summit, Sir Rod Stewart will be one of the most open and at least shaded in the pyramid stage, the largest region of the festival.
Nicky Evans of Aberdare in Southern Wales was protected from the sun under a hot pink umbrella. Was it helper? “Oh, absolutely yes.”
He combined the umbrella – “For the Sun or Rain!” – A hat, sunscreen and water will make the shifts in the parking lot more safer and easier.
“We were coming after 10 years and it used to be a bad fame but it seems to have changed in the last few years,” he said. “Now we bring three sets of clothes just in case.”
Jack Cessford, a 28 -year -old Suffolk, who works in the logistics, shared a paper fan purchased on the site with his university friend Robbie Gillum, who lives in Riyadh, where he worked as a consultant.
Cessford said: “I’m a good tan, I just overcome it. No, it can be quite sticky. We are trying to drink three liters of water a day.”
“You really need to take a shower here, and it’s not so much, so cold water you need,” Gillum added. “The tents are also very hot, very isolated.”
“There’s not much shadow, Ces Cessford said, sitting under the trees on the edge of the site near Stone Circle. “But we have to listen to music.”
His 30 -year -old partner Mollie Kneeshaw, a 35 -year -old Nick Strang and Nottingham, was holding ice cream while pushing one -year -old daughters into a good -shade trailer.
“It’s hard, Kne Kneeshaw said,“ But we had to feed your juice, keep going [the trailer] Shadow, keep coming into the air. “
The couple said there are some areas with open -sided tents for shadow, such as Green Kids Field.
Strang was part of the strategies of using plenty of sunscreen because their daughters had the right clothes.
