Today at Glastonbury looks likely to end with patchy rain. Although most of the day should be warm and dry, skies are expected to cloud over by mid-afternoon, with showers to come.

That's the bad news, at least according to the Met Office forecast, which is predicting rain to arrive in mid afternoon and last until the end of the day. The Met Office predicts no further rain, but the BBC disagrees, foreseeing showers early on Friday morning. Both forecasters, however, agree it will be dry thereafter, with temperatures peaking in the high teens.

In terms of UV, the index isn't expected to rise above a moderate 4, those peaks occurring on Saturday and Sunday lunchtimes. Festivalgoers should be OK if they cover up or wear sunscreen during Glastonbury's afternoons. Just be prepared for mugginess.

Despite the above, nothing is guaranteed. AccuWeather remains a dissenter on matters of rain, predicting not just Thursday drizzle but showers on Friday afternoon and sporadically across Saturday. At least they think the festival will end on a drier note: a blend of sun and cloud on Sunday, with a high of 23C.
