Glastonbury Festival Weather Predictions and Local Business Impact

The Glastonbury Festival, one of the world's largest outdoor music events, is set to feature headliners like Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA, drawing large crowds to Worthy Farm. Local businesses, such as Mr. Powell's bar, benefit from the influx of festival-goers and staff, though they face challenges due to rising operational costs. Weather predictions for the festival are mixed, with early forecasts indicating a warm start followed by potential heavy and thundery showers later in the week. Independent forecasters like Gavin Partridge and James Carter have gained popularity for their specific Glastonbury weather updates, advising attendees to prepare for both sun and rain. The Met Office also supports these forecasts, suggesting unsettled weather with warm and humid conditions initially, turning cooler and rainier towards the end of the festival.
