Synth City: Storm in a sunhat

It is almost the middle of the year as I type this and oddly we have lovely hot sunshine in an actual UK summer but yes, ok, this has been tinged with the odd Thunderstorm to mix it up; which I love. Now, I don’t want to be an eco-warrior about it, yet it does feel too hot these days; plus these pesky rain storms. I’m currently confused when go out, with either sunglasses or a brolly- granted the latter is being used by some as a sunshade, which I have not decided if that is classy or overkill. I say all that, as we are in the midst of the madness of festival season and let us face it, the UK weather is a factor in those types of events for most people surely- but what do I know about anything about trendy lifestyles?
My chatbit, What was or is your favourite music festival, or if not, why do you dislike them?
