While the day will likely be dry, there’s a chance of a heavy shower, which is common in this unpredictable Somerset area.
As the festival kicks off on Thursday, weather conditions will be cloudier and slightly breezier, with the possibility of light rain in the afternoon due to a passing cold front.
However, by the main festival days from Friday to Sunday, featuring headliners Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA, the forecast looks promising.
