Glastonbury festival-goers have been warned to "pack their wellies" after the Met Office claimed temperatures will soar in the coming days before thunder and rain set in for the weekend. That spells bad news ahead for the music festival as thousands descend on Somerset.
Temperatures will peak at 28C to 29C on June 22, before getting steadily cooler and the warm weather being replaced by “thundery showers”, according to Alex Burkill, a Met Office meteorologist. Conditions are likely to be unsettled during the festival, with a chance of rain on June 24, 25 and 26.
Burkill said: "Through Thursday, we’re going to see some hefty showers pushing up from the south. Particularly later on in the day, many parts of England could see some heavy, perhaps even thundery, showers. Then, further showery rain, heavy, perhaps even thunder at times as we go through Friday, Saturday and especially Sunday.”
