The Roskilde Festival of this year can break the 49-year-old heat record.

Wednesday may become so hot at Roskilde Festival that it will be the warmest day in the festival's history.

- It is unusually summer-warm, and there is a full blast of sun, says shift chief at DMI Thor Hartz.

Exactly how many degrees the thermometer should precisely stand for breaking the record, Roskilde Festival does not have figures on, but according to Politiken, the existing record dates back to 1976.

According to the newspaper, there was a measurement of 28.7 degrees on one of the days.

- I expect a 32 to 34 degrees in Roskilde. Generally, we are going over 30 degrees in many places in the country, says shift chief.

He explains that the normal maximum temperature for the beginning of July usually lies a little over 20 degrees.

The prospect of record-high temperatures has caused Roskilde Festival to set up more water posts.

- This year, we have increased the number of water posts, so we are ready for the weather we are looking at, says division chief for planning and logistics on the festival Kim Kristensen.

In addition, the festival asks guests to follow the Health Authority's recommendations.

- It's about using sunscreen, seeking shade, drinking plenty of water and dressing for the hot weather. And it's important to get something sweet and salty for the body, says Kim Kristensen.

But it's not just water posts and shade from the sun that festival-goers need.

It's also about finding the umbrella and the rain. DMI forecasts a significant change in the weather on Wednesday evening.

- Out in the evening, there will be more clouds and later thunder and hail. It happens when the music starts, so it's a bit unfortunate, says shift chief Thor Hartz.

Thunder weather marks a larger change in the weather, he says.

- Already on Thursday it will be cooler with 18 to 22 degrees, but it looks like it will stay dry on Thursday, so one can enjoy it.

- It will be more unstable on Friday and Saturday, where there can come periods of rain and thunder, so it's about enjoying the sun today and in the morning. It is clearly the sunniest days, says shift chief.
