Met Office gives Glastonbury Festival outlook as 'dry and higher than average temperatures' expected for early summer

The Met Office has given its Glastonbury 2019 outlook as the festival edges closer.

Luckily for revellers heading to Worthy Farm, Met Office's Alex Deakin predicts dry and warmer than average temperatures for early summer.

The weatherman told Somerset Live : "The longer range, three month outlook is suggesting that higher pressure is more likely than lower pressure, and higher temperatures are more likely than lower temperatures.

"A trend towards some finer weather as we go into early summer, but of course, any individual spell of hot weather can't be forecast at that kind of range.

"The trend does look dryer than average."

What about trends?

The Met Office's Mr Deakin also addressed observations that a cold Spring leads to a hot summer.

The UK has seen a colder than average Spring this year, as it did last year before experiencing a scorching summer.

Mr Deakin said: "If you look at last year, a colder than average Spring did bring a warmer than average summer, but there is no set pattern to that at all."

So will it be flip flops or welly weather?

Our advice, whatever the weather forecast, take your wellies anyway! Don't get caught out!
