The UK will enjoy a midweek heatwave but Glastonbury could be a muddy affair after the Met Office warned festival-goers to “pack their wellies”.
Wednesday is set for highs of 28C to 29C, according to Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill, but the heatwave is due to come to a halt on Thursday when thundery showers sweep across England.
Thousands of people are making their way to Glastonbury festival in Somerset, where Diana Ross, Kendrick Lamarr and Fleetwood Mac are among the headline acts, amid disruption caused by this week’s rail strikes.
