Festival-goers at Glastonbury will need to prepare for a wet weekend as more unsettled weather is forecast for the remainder of the five-day event. By mid to late afternoon, rain is expected to fall but set to ease later this evening. But over the course of the weekend, there is a risk of heavy downpours with temperatures as low as 18-20 degrees.
In a statement released earlier this week (Tuesday, June 21) by Met Office Deputy Meteorologist, Helen Caughey, she said: "From Friday onwards the weather will become more unsettled. There is a risk of heavy showers and thunderstorms in the Glastonbury area on both Friday and Saturday, although these should be quick moving, some surface water might accumulate at times.
"Temperatures will start to dip as we go through the end of the week returning to near normal for the time of year, with highs likely around 18-20C." Come Sunday (June 26), the last day of the festival, some showers are expected, which "could be heavy, and possibly thundery".
