Anyone wanting to mud wrestle or mud-slide at the annual Download Festival this weekend could be in for disappointment because surprisingly the weather is currently forecast to be fairly sunny - in stark contrast to some previous Donington Park festivals, in 2016 and 2019, which led to it being labelled "Drownload".
But while there have been some scorching hot festivals since the event began in 2003, the 2022 festival may not match up to that either and instead we are looking at sunny spells on each of the three days with light to moderate breezes. However, there could be the odd shower popping up and the pollen count - for those with high fever - is going to be very high.
The appearance of sunshine also means some high UV levels so don't forget to slather on the sun cream if you don't want to get burnt. It does seem that the forecast is quite changeable over the three days and certainly people arriving on the campsite on Wednesday and Thursday may encounter cooler temperatures and some rain.
