The UK is experiencing a heatwave with temperatures expected to reach 31C, prompting health warnings and concerns about pressure on emergency services. Meanwhile, the Glastonbury Festival has officially begun, welcoming up to 210,000 attendees to Worthy Farm under mostly warm and dry conditions, although some scattered showers are possible. Headliners include Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA, with Shania Twain performing in the coveted Legends Slot. Organizers Emily and Michael Eavis opened the gates at 8 a.m., and the festival will run through Sunday, featuring a diverse lineup of artists across multiple stages. The event’s popularity remains undiminished, with tickets selling out in under an hour despite travel chaos and high ticket prices. Festival-goers are advised to follow traffic signs and prepare for potential delays.
