Glastonbury 2022 weather forecast
The forecast for Worthy Farm – located in Pilton, Shepton Mallet, BA4 4BY – is fair to good. Even though Saturday's summary is light showers with a fresh breeze, that's actually pretty good Glastonbury weather. The site is unlikely to turn into a mud bath and neither will it be so hot that the lack of shade becomes a problem either.
Glastonbury-goers will be treated to temperatures of around 17 degrees Celsius with bright skies for Saturday evening. Sunday is forecast to be drier with temperatures around the same levels but plenty more sunshine. Take a waterproof but mostly to sit on.
