The gates for Glastonbury 2024 are set to open tomorrow (June 26) – but will it be rain or shine down on Worthy Farm? Check out the latest weather forecast below.
This year’s edition of the legendary festival will take place between June 26-30, with Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA due to headline the Pyramid Stage. Other confirmed acts include Shania Twain, LCD Soundsystem, Little Simz, The National, Avril Lavigne, The Last Dinner Party, Jungle, Justice, Bloc Party, Fontaines D.C., Yard Act, Arlo Parks and Gossip.
In early June, organisers revealed the full line-up, stage splits and timings for the sold-out bash – including some new names and various ‘TBA’ secret slots. The BBC has also shared its extensive coverage plans for the huge weekend of music.
Those lucky enough to have secured tickets for Glasto ’24 will no doubt be scouring the line-up and agonising over some of the brutal clashes on the bill. But another big talking point as the festival edges closer is – of course – the weather.
The BBC Weather website forecast for the full five days currently shows temperatures ranging from the high-10s to the mid-20s, with sunny intervals, light winds and broadly dry conditions. Festivalgoers can expect at least the first few days of their Worthy Farm visit to remain rain-free. See below, and check back on this page for updates.

The Met Office‘s long-range forecast – which covers June 29 to July 8 – says to expect “fresher conditions with a westerly wind from the Atlantic”, and that the “changeable weather is most likely to prevail through much of this period; the hotter and more humid weather experienced by the south prior to this will most likely have been pushed away into the nearby Continent.”
The Met Office’s forecast so far is:
Wednesday, June 26: Sunny and slightly cloudy conditions all day, with temperatures peaking at 26°C and lows of 16°C
Thursday, June 27: Cloudy changing to light rain in the afternoon, with temperatures peaking at 18°C and lows of 15°C
Friday, June 28: Cloudy changing to sunny by the afternoon, with temperatures peaking at 17°C and lows of 13°C
Saturday, June 29: Sunny changing to cloudy in the late morning, with temperatures peaking at 20°C and lows of 12°C
Sunday, June 30: Sunny changing to cloudy in the afternoon, with temperatures peaking at 20°C and lows of 14°C
