It may have been a somewhat soggy start to Glastonbury as music-lovers arrived in Somerset to a downpour of rain, but a Met Office expert has said the rest of the week is expected to stay warm and sunny. Thousands of revellers descended on Worth Farm as Glastonbury 2023 opened its gates for the first time.
Some attendees had a wet start to their festival experience as Somerset threw all sorts of weather at excited festival fans. Pictures show some music-lovers stomping through an early mud pool in wellies and umbrellas, while others took to social media to complain of sunburn.
The Met Office issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms across the South West from 12pm today (June 21). This is due to end at 7pm, however, and a meteorologist has downplayed worries of rain and storms.
