Ensure you're updated and ready for rain and sun before we venture into the throng on day three of the Glastonbury Festival, when the major stars start performing on the main stages.

According to the Met Office's forecast, Friday will begin overcast and moderate with occasional rain, notably across the moors.

Around midday, it will get brighter briefly before moving eastward during the afternoon with more steady rain. 20 °C at its highest point.

Even while there may be the occasional rain, the weather will get clearer and fresher tonight. 8 °C is the absolute minimum.

For the remainder of the festival, raincoats should be prepared, according to Met Office Chief Forecaster Paul Gundersen, as per ITV.

Thursday will start warm and occasionally sunny before becoming cloudier and more likely to see thunderstorms.

The most intense of these showers' specific locations is yet unknown.

The temperature will drop and the atmosphere will become more erratic throughout Friday and the weekend.

In the Glastonbury region, there is still a chance for strong thunderstorms and heavy showers. Although these should move quickly, the strongest showers might sometimes leave some surface water behind.

By the weekend, highs should be about 18-20C, returning to a nearly average range for the time of year. Over time, it will get cooler.

Large portions of the UK may see downpours on Saturday, and lesser rain is expected on Sunday, according to meteorologists, as per the Mirror.

Weather forecasts predict that a low-pressure area towards the west will spread rain over the region, so revelers at Worthy Farm, in particular, may need to prepare for the damp weather.

On Saturday and Sunday, temperatures are predicted to be in the teens and low 20s, which is typical for the time of year.

There is a chance of some rains at Glastonbury over this weekend, according to Met Office meteorologist Marco Petagna.

The west of the UK will have nearby low-pressure systems, which might occasionally bring showers to the area. According to the appearance, Saturday will likely have the most rain.

Most of the country is also forecast to see "brisk" winds, with gusts of approximately 35 mph anticipated in the west of the UK, according to him.

While the worst of the showers are often forecast to be out in the west and northwest, the best of the dry, sunny intervals will be closer toward the east and southeast.

The hardest winds are also hitting places like Wales, western Scotland, and Northern Ireland, he added.

Mr. Petagna stated that a shift in the wind's direction-from milder breezes coming from Spain and France to colder ones coming from the Atlantic-was what caused the weather variations in June.

He predicted that the unpredictable weather will persist through at least the end of the next week.

While some eastern regions may get dry weather all day, these will be most intense and frequent in the West. However, when rain does fall, it will pass fast because of the strong winds.

Parts of Wales, Northern Ireland, and western Scotland will see gusts of 25 to 30 mph, with the possibility of gales at times.

Thunderstorms will continue to be a possibility, most likely in Wales, the South West, and Northern Ireland.

Most places will see a much milder day with highs in the mid-teens, however, East Anglia will experience a peak of about 23C or 73F.
