A recent post on r/glastonbury_festival went viral for a weather forecast purportedly for Glastonbury 2025, warning festivalgoers to pack suncream for Thursday, June 26th. The original forecast snippet came from an NME article but featured a hilarious and obvious typo listing a low temperature of 123°C — which naturally drew widespread mockery and memes.
Festival fans chimed in with alternate forecasts: Yahoo predicted rainy conditions, while others reminded everyone it’s still too early for reliable weather intel this far out. One sharp-eyed commenter clarified that NME doesn’t issue direct forecasts, citing the BBC’s official outlook instead, which shows more believable highs around 24–26°C and lows near 14°C for the festival week.
What the Weather Could Look Like for Glasto Thursday, June 26, 2025 (Pilton, Somerset):
- Morning starts partly sunny with temps in the high teens (~16–20°C).
- Rain is expected on and off throughout the afternoon and evening.
- Daytime highs peak around 25–26°C, quite comfortable for festival-goers.
- Cooler overnight lows down to about 21°C with continued rain.
Context and Caution:
- Weather for Glastonbury is famously changeable.
- Early forecasts often shift, so fans should watch for updates as the date nears.
- The comedic 123°C figure serves as a reminder to double-check sources before packing for a desert-like heatwave that definitely won’t hit Pilton.
As always, prepping for rain and sun protection remains wise. But you can safely leave the flamethrowers at home this year — Glastonbury 2025’s weather looks festival-friendly, just with a splash of typical British unpredictability.
Stay tuned for more updates as the festival dates approach!
