Weather

It's best to prepare for the worst, but the weather for this year's festival doesn't look to be a washout. Friday should be relatively dry with some showers in the afternoon, which should clear up on Saturday until around 3pm when a few showers are expected. Sunday looks to be dry but cloudy. It will be fleeting, but there will be some sun over the whole weekend – although its best to carry a waterproof for occasional showers. For updates, check the Met Office.
