From there on out - with music starting on the main stages from Friday - Met Office forecasters are predicting a low chance of rain, around 20%, with temperatures 'slightly above average', hovering between 21C and 23C at peak times.

For Wednesday to Friday, a forecaster detailed "sunny spells and scattered showers" on Wednesday, with some rain on Thursday, with cloud cover. "Increasingly windy by Friday, and temperatures around or a little above average," they added.

It comes after 2023 and 2024 were scorchers at Worthy Farm, with festival revellers enjoying temperatures nudging 30C. This year, UK Southwest Storm Chasers group mirrored the Met Office, advising festival goers the need for wellies was "very slim".

"So, apart from Wednesday for when the grounds open up for this year's Glastonbury, and with the risk of downpours and thunderstorms, the actual three-day festival will actually remain dry which is fantastic news for those attending," they added.

"So, the likelihood of needing wellies, is very slim. Pack a lightweight shower proof jacket and plenty of sun cream as its going to be warm, if not hot, stood around watching the bands."
