Glastonbury Festival Weather Update: Forecast and Expectations
As Glastonbury Festival approaches, attendees are keen to know whether to prepare for sunshine or mud at Worthy Farm. The festival runs from June 26 to June 30.
The Met Office indicates a shift from early June's low temperatures and frequent rain. A strengthening jet stream is expected to bring a ridge of high pressure, resulting in warmer, sunnier weather mid-week. Temperatures may reach 24°C to 25°C in the south on Thursday and Friday, though cloud and rain are predicted to return by the weekend.
Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Harris advises it’s too early to predict the exact weather for the festival but highlights the potential for more changeable conditions as the date nears.
Separate reports suggest late June could experience a near-heatwave in the UK, with London temperatures possibly exceeding those in southern Europe. However, this heat is expected to be temporary, with cooler, unsettled weather likely by early July.
