Glastonbury Festival 2025 weather forecast: Latest predictions from Met Office ...Middle East

The countdown has begun to this year’s pilgrimage to Pilton for the Glastonbury Festival.

Neil Young, The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX and Rod Stewart are among the big-name acts gathering at Worthy Farm from Wednesday, 25 June to Sunday, 29 June for the highlight of the festival season.

Although tickets have been bought, tents have been packed, and the line-up has now been confirmed, one crucial component remains undetermined, which can make or break a festival experience – the weather.

Will it be a year for Wellington boots and plastic ponchos, or will 2025 be a year of meteorological magic with endless sunshine and balmy temperatures?

Here’s what we know so far.

The festival is still just over three weeks away, and the Met Office has told The i Paper it’s “far too far ahead to give an accurate forecast for those dates in that location”.

However, it does provide a long-range forecast which is updated daily and at the moment is offering a mixed bag for festival-goers heading to Worthy Farm at the end of this month.

According to the Met Office’s long-range forecast from Wednesday 18 June to Wednesday 2 July, mid-June will “probably see a good deal of dry weather across the UK with high pressure tending to dominate, especially in the south.

“Toward the end of June and start of July, details are uncertain but conditions may become more changeable with some periods of unsettled weather.”

The good news is temperatures will probably be slightly higher than normal, perhaps turning hot at times.

What was the weather like at Glastonbury last year?

Glastonbury 2024 provided near-perfect conditions for the festival.

Across the three main days of Friday 28, Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 June, the weather held up with sunny spells and a light breeze. Temperatures hovered around 19/20°C for much of the weekend, with a high of 26 °C on Thursday.

But the key factor for many is rain.

There was a small shower on Sunday, but not enough to create any problems and certainly not a legendary Glastonbury mud bath in 2024.

But this has not always been the case.

Glastonbury 2023 may have been a vintage year for music with Elton John playing his legendary set and the Arctic Monkeys and Guns N’ Roses playing the Pyramid Stage.

But the weather let the side down with torrential downpours for the first few days before it cleared on Sunday to let the sun go down for Elton John’s set.

2016

Flash floods struck in Somerset the week before the festival and the site was once again submerged, as revellers resorted to rolling in the mud.

But Muse, Adele and Coldplay lifted everyone’s spirits providing some respite from the wet weather.

2014 was another muddy year at Worthy Farm, with more than 40mm of rain during the festival.

Wellies and waterproofs were the order of the day for headline acts Arcade Fire, Metallica, and Kasabian, while Dolly Parton brought her coat of many colours.

2009

Thunderstorms and heavy rain heralded the start of the 2009 Glastonbury Festival.

There was more than 15mm of rain and it was another year of mud for many.

But festival organiser Michael Eavis later hailed it “the best Glastonbury ever” with Neil Young, Blur and Bruce Springsteen offering a musical distraction from the soggy situation.

Glastonbury 2007 holds the record for the wettest day of the festival, according to the Met Office, when 60.1mm of rain fell in a single day at Rodney Stoke, a nearby station to the event.

Mud became as much a part of the Glastonbury experience as the music but the stars of the show remained, with Arctic Monkeys, Shirley Bassey, Bjork, Amy Winehouse and The Who appearing.

2005

Two months’ worth of rain fell in several hours in a once-in-a-hundred-year occurrence in the early hours of the Friday of 2005’s festival.

The campsite was submerged and welfare workers found themselves deluged.

But the bands played from Basement Jaxx and The White Stripes to The Magic Numbers and Coldplay.

Rain again flooded the fields and turned the site into a mudbath in 1998 but Blur, Primal Scream, and Robbie Williams played on.

There was 9.5 mm of rain during the festival, but the ground had already had a good soaking.

Such was the state of the site that by Saturday, some less-than-happy campers decided to bail out and leave early.

1997

1997 was dubbed the “year of the mud” on the Glastonbury website due to a deluge of rain in the days preceding the event.

Only 1.73mm fell during the festival, but the damage had already been done.

Some of the biggest acts, including Neil Young and Steve Winwood, cancelled as the weather took a turn for the worse and the Other Stage started to sink into the mud – but festival-goers were undeterred.
