The weather at this year's Glastonbury Festival looks set to be mostly fine and dry - but there is a chance of the odd thunderstorm.

The long-range outlook from the Met Office is currently predicting sunshine for the duration of the festival, but it says there is a chance of showers and thunderstorms as well.

"The forecast looks good for Glastonbury - it's most likely to be fine and dry up until the end of June, with a good deal of sunshine and high temperatures.

"It will be warm, not necessarily that humid, but there is still a chance of the odd thunderstorm."
