Nothing says Glastonbury like Alexa Chung-inspired outfits, the Pyramid stage, and camping in unpredictable weather.
With just over six weeks to go until Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, and the 1975 take to the stage, it’s not a bad idea to take a glance at the forecast.
Will your yurt survive a brutal thunderstorm? Or will you swelter away in your tiny tent? And don’t let us start on curating the perfect Glastonbury wardrobe.
So, here is everything we know about the weather so far to get you Glasto-ready.
What’s the weather forecast?
Although we’re still weeks away, we can begin to get a vague sense of what the weather will look like - despite Britain’s notoriously unpredictable climate. As It stands, the weather forecast between the 25th-29th June is a mixed bag, according to AccuWeather.
The first day of Glastonbury is looking dry with temperatures of around 20 degrees Celsius, but a thunderstorm will be brewing in the background.
Thursday will be hit with plenty of showers, thunder, and lightning, mainly early in the day. By Friday June 27, the weather should start to clear up, before the final two days are expected to bring several rain clusters.
Annoyingly, the warmest day is June 29, with temperatures reaching 23 degrees Celsius.
Remember, it’s still early days and the weather is notoriously fickle. Average temperatures in Somerset in June reach between 18 and 23 degrees Celsius, with lows of around 10 degrees. Rain showers are occasional, but typically, June tends to be a time for long sunny days.
What is the weather usually like at Glastonbury festival?
Muddy is typically how Glastonbury goes, with 1997, 1998, and 2004 being particularly mucky editions of the music festival.
The 1997 edition was also one of the coldest with temperatures only reaching 13.2 degrees.
One of the hottest dates on record was the 2019 edition of Glastonbury where temperatures reached around 31 degrees.
In any case, festival goers will be hoping for moderate temperatures with minimal rain. A Glastonbury washout is not unheard of, but neither is the rainbow that usually comes after.
