Nothing like a bit of LIGHT rain!

The forecast might not actually adhere to the 10-day predictions. Imagine that. Bridgewater again...


...but perhaps the BBC knows better and this is actually closer than Bridgewater.

From today's Guardian (who sponsor Glastonbury):

We've already endured the annual Glastonbury predictions of storms, mudbaths and even freak monsoons. But with just a few days to go, signs are still mixed as to how wet this year's festival will be.

According to Metcheck.com, the weekend is set to remain cloudy but dry, apart from a spell of showers on Saturday afternoon that could bring around 1cm of rainfall. Afternoon temperatures also look consistent, ranging from 21C to 24C.

The BBC's four-day forecast is equally optimistic, predicting sunny intervals from now until Friday. If nothing else, the ground should be in a good state for when festival-goers arrive.

So does that mean you'll spend more time walking than wading on Worthy Farm this weekend? Maybe not – other predictions aren't quite as, er, sunny.

According to the Met Office, the weather will be glorious – until the festival actually starts.

"To all intents and purposes, Thursday should be quite nice with sunny spells and only a small chance of showers," the Met Office told guardian.co.uk/music. "However, Friday looks like it will be quite cloudy, warm and humid with some showers from time to time. Chances are there could be some quite heavy downpours and possibly thunderstorms too."

Although it's too early to be sure, there is a chance that Saturday and Sunday could be similarly dismal. Which means don't even think about leaving those wellies at home.

"You'll probably be needing them," the Met Office told us. "And I'd advise you to bring an umbrella as well."
