What is the weather forecast for Glastonbury 2024?

According to the Met Office's outlook from Wednesday to Friday this week, the day Glastonbury opens its doors "should continue largely dry with very warm sunshine". There is a small chance of a shower with rain moving through to the west on Thursday but "brighter, fresher" weather is predicted for Friday.

Get the breakdown below.

Wednesday 26th June:

On the day Glastonbury officially opens its doors, the Met Office predicts highs of 26 degrees and lows of 14 degrees celsius with high UV rays and a very high pollen count for any allergy sufferers.

Thursday 27th June:

On the first day and night of music and festivities, the Met Office predicts it will be "cloudy changing to sunny by early evening" with highs of 21 degrees and lows of 12 degrees.

Friday 28th June:

On the day when Dua Lipa headlines, it is predicted to be a little cooler and "sunny changing to cloudy in the afternoon," with highs of 19 degrees and lows of 11 degrees. Don't think you can leave your suncream in your tent though, because the UV rays are still high.

Saturday 29th June:

So far, the Met Office predicts that the Saturday, when Coldplay headline, will be sunny with high UV rays and highs of 21 degrees and lows of 12 degrees. However, BBC Weather differs somewhat, suggesting there is the chance of "light rain" and a moderate breeze," and only highs of 19 degrees.

Sunday 30th June:

Sunday, when SZA will take to the Pyramid stage, will be much of the same with highs of 22 degrees and lows of 13 degrees.

Monday 1st July:

The festival might be over on Sunday, but the bulk of Glasto-goers official pack up their stuff on Monday morning. According to BBC Weather, festival goers can expect highs of 19 degrees, lows of 10 degrees with "light rain and a moderate breeze".
