Glastonbury is to have a mixture of light showers and sunny spells for this year's music festival weekend, according to the latest reports.

As the first festival-goers arrive at the campsite on Wednesday afternoon, they will be greeted with intermittent showers and gusts of wind up to 21mph, says the MET Office's official website.

Thursday is forecast to be dry but cloudy with gusts picking up and reaching a high of 33mph. Visibility is currently classed as very good.
