Glastonbury Festival’s site conditions have shifted notably as of June 22, 2025. Attendees endured intense heat and dust early on, with temperatures hitting 32°C (89.6°F) and dust causing throat irritation and allergy flare-ups. Festival-goers were strongly advised to pack antihistamines and other allergy relief remedies.
While some reported reduced drinking due to the heat, others saw no such change. Crowded trains welcomed early arrivals, many choosing local accommodations before campsite openings midweek. Water availability remains a watchpoint, with hopes to avoid shortage issues.
Currently, cooler conditions with increased wind and light rain have begun to ease the dust and improve site comfort, although hard ground remains an issue. Weather forecasts predict rain from Tuesday through Thursday, expected to further reduce the dust and enhance on-site conditions for the bulk of the festival.
Here’s a quick weather rundown for Pilton and surrounding areas for the week ahead:
- Sunday, June 22: Breezy and warm, high 26°C (80°F)
- Monday, June 23: Breezy and pleasant, high 24°C (74°F)
