Glastonbury Festival weather update
June 26th, 2008
The current weather in Glastonbury for Thursday 26th is dry, but with a slight chance of showers. This is expected to be same for the whole weekend, with maximum temps of just 18°. With the chance of light rain, mud is to expected so make sure you take some wellies!
Here’s a Glastonbury weather prediction, from the main man - Michael Eavis:
“I predict on Friday that we’ve got sunshine up until about four o’clock in the afternoon and then we’ll get one millimetre of rain which is nothing; it’s just enough to dampen down the site and dampen down the dust and things.
Until then there’s no rain at all not Wednesday or Thursday. Friday one millimetre of rain - fantastic. I see the stall holders have got sun cream at the top of the list now so they’ve got the weather message.”
