Glastonbury Festival 2024 is almost upon us and with people making their final preparations, one question on everybody's minds is what the weather has in store.

While the last few days has seen warm weather settle across the West Country, the question remains whether Worthy Farm will remain dry during the festival.

So, if you're still debating packing your wellies and your raincoat, this may help.

The outlook from ITV News West Country weather presenter Charlie Powell

"The forecast still looks good for the duration of Glastonbury with very little rainfall and some decent temperatures.

"Wednesday will be a hot one, with very high UV and temperatures up to around 27 °C. Not brilliant for dragging your kit in maybe, but great for setting up camp in the dry.

"It'll get off to a fine start on Thursday but a weak front will move through, perhaps giving a light shower around lunchtime, then introducing less humid air for the rest of the day on some brisk winds. It won't be as hot either with highs closer to 21 °C.

"This then leaves the rest of the festival on a pretty dry note. Skies will be a bit cloudier towards the weekend and temperatures will stay around the 20 degree mark.

"There are hints of a few more showers on Sunday morning, but it should clear up for the evening."
