Music fans will probably avoid large rain showers or suffocate heat waves at this year’s Glastonbury festival, predictors have said.
The festival in Somerset will see some scattered showers, sunshine, clouds and temperature heights between 22c and 25c – but partygoers can be reasonably certain that they will prevent heavy rainfall.
More than 200,000 people are expected to descend on the fields of Palton, advised to prepare for mainly hot weather with ticket holders, but also to bring watertight to the five -day event, which could see thunderstorms during the weekend.
“Despite the risk of some showers, there will still be a lot of dry and clear intervals,” said a spokesperson for the with Office. “The temperatures will be around 24 ° C, just above the average for the time of the year, which ensures a pleasant, albeit occasionally moist, early this year.”
Thursday is expected to be cloudy but dry with temperatures around 22 ° C. Those who set up tents can find it even more difficult than normal, with wind reinforcement during the day.
“On Thursday evening, those winds will decrease and ensure a pleasant evening with some sunshine and clouds that help keep things warm,” said the spokesperson for the with Office.
More gusts of wind are probably on Friday – the day that the most important music acts start – but there must be some sunny spells and temperatures of around 23c.
There is less certainty during the weekend, although high pressure can lead to longer, drier spells and thunderstorms.
“It is also likely that sometimes very warm, moist air will push out of the south, which may cause short hot spells and even the risk of insulated thunderstorms,” added the spokesperson for with Office.
In the late 1990s and 2000, Glastonbury became synonymous with heavy rain and muddy fields, although for some time the chaotic scenes in years such as 1997, 1998, 2005 and 2007 has been avoided.

Acts that perform this year are the British pop band the 1975, the experienced singer-songwriter Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, and the American pop star Olivia Rodrigo, all with the head of the pyramid podium.
Other remarkable artists are the Brat star Charli XCX, the rising rapper Doechii and the controversial Irish Rap Trio Knieschijf – despite many phone calls from politicians, including the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, to be removed from the bill.
The festival will have two opening ceremonies on Wednesday, with a theater and circus show, including High-Wire walkers and acrobats followed by a fireworks.
