As the much-anticipated Glastonbury Festival approaches, attendees must prepare for the unpredictable British weather. The grounds are expected to be wet and muddy, as the rainy start to summer is forecasted to continue into July. So, it's wise to pack your trusty wellies and rain gear, as you may find yourself trudging through mud and sleeping in soggy tents.
The recent Mighty Hoopla festival in Brixton's Brockwell Park faced a similar predicament when heavy rain transformed the grounds into a "mud bath". Fortunately, the organizers were quick to take action and spread woodchips to absorb the excess water, saving the festival from disaster.
Despite the potential for rain, over 200,000 people are expected to attend Glastonbury, which will take place from June 26th to June 30th. The lineup boasts big names like Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA, as well as up-and-coming artists like Femi Kuti, Jamie Webster, and Rachel Chinouriri. However, past festivals have seen attendees slipping and sliding through the mud, as the large crowds churn up the fields.
But it's not all doom and gloom, as the forecast also predicts sunny intervals among the showers and longer spells of rain. And if you're worried about the rain affecting the temperatures, fear not, as higher-than-average temperatures may still be in store. However, we must take these predictions with a grain of salt, as the weather can change quickly.
According to BBC Weather, the first day of the festival (June 26th) is expected to have sunny intervals and a gentle breeze, with highs of 22°C and lows of 11°C. The following days may bring some light rain showers and a gentle breeze, but also some sunny intervals. So, it's best to come prepared for all types of weather.
In the end, whether it's rain or shine, the impressive lineup of Glastonbury is sure to make it a memorable experience. So, grab your wellies and get ready to dance in the mud, or soak up the sun, all while enjoying some fantastic music.
