There is good news for anyone going to Glastonbury Festival next week - the Met Office is predicting mostly dry weather with spells of sunshine.

While the weather forecast says there will likely be some "light showers" during the five-day festival, the Met Office says it is likely to be sunny for the duration.

Day one of the festival - Wednesday 22 June - looks set to be the hottest, with highs of 21C and a "sunny" forecast.

The Thursday of Glastonbury Festival is set to start off similarly, but the Met Office says there is a risk of light showers in the afternoon. The temperature will be around 20C.

The Friday looks set to get off to a sunny start with clouds coming in later in the afternoon, although forecasters are predicting it will stay dry with highs of 19C.

The long-range forecast then says the South West is set to "experience dry conditions with occasional bright spells and some sunshine" throughout the rest of the week, although it adds there is "a risk of showers".

The BBC's weather forecast however predicts sunshine for the duration of the festival, predicting "sunny intervals with a moderate breeze" throughout the five-day event.

It says the Saturday and Sunday of this year's festival will see temperatures around 17C with some cloud cover.
