As the Glastonbury festival draws nearer, some festival goers will be wondering whether to pack their ponchos or sun hats ahead of opening day. Based on current Met Office predictions, both seem like a good idea, with high temperatures and heavy downpours on the forecast.
The run up to opening day on Wednesday, June 21 is unsettled, with the forecaster predicting a mixture of rain and sunshine on Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures are set to hover in the low 20s early in the week, which will likely make things feel a touch cooler than recently seen.
However, temperatures are expected to rise again ahead of the weekend and the mercury is set to hit 24C at its peak on Saturday. The weather is still set to remain unsettled through the week, with scattered showers - heavy or otherwise - likely while the festival gets under way.
