Glastonbury 2010 Festival-Goers Warned About Sunburn Risk

Festival-goers at this year’s Glastonbury festival have been warned about the risk of sunburn.

Temperatures have soared to highs of 28c in Somerset, with more than 2,100 people requiring treatment for heat-related problems.

The county’s chief doctor Caroline Gamlin told the BBC people should “take care to avoid sunburn, heat stroke, headaches and fainting”.

As well as drinking plenty of water, festival-goers are also being advised to spend time in the shade.

A Met Office spokesperson told Gigwise that the ridge of high pressure was expected to remain for Sunday, although there is a risk of some showers.
