What we don't know

Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.

  • The exact percentage increase in visitor numbers compared to previous years.
  • Whether local authorities will introduce new daily visitor caps to manage the crowds.
  • What dates or periods are being compared to establish that crowds are growing?
  • Which archaeological sites are included in the reported trend?
  • What evidence supports the characterization that sunhats are “widely” worn?
  • What measured temperatures, if any, support the summary’s description of intense heat?
  • What protective measures besides sunhats are documented?
