Rain predicted for Glastonbury as gates open to early arrivals

The Glastonbury festival will be hit intermittently by rain throughout this weekend according to the latest forecast from the Met Office.

As the gates to Worthy Farm open to early arrivals today (June 24th), the weather is being predicted to stay dry as festival-goers settle into their tents during the next 48 hours, but once things officially get underway on Friday morning, rain is expected to come and go right through until Sunday night.

There could be some heavy downpours during Friday, though a cloudy Saturday is hoped to stay dry after early morning. The final day could be wetter, with rain forecast on and off.

It’ll be a familiar sight for The Who, whose last headline appearance in 2007 was met with torrential rain after the festival had almost been washed out completely that year thanks to the chaos caused by terrible weather as over 100,000 people had descended on the event earlier in the week.
