There's just over a week left to go until the world's most iconic music festival takes place, with early weather forecasts indicating a mixture of conditions.
Fans hoping for plenty and sunshine and high temperatures may be disappointed as latest predictions hint at possibility of showers and even thunder. According to BBC Weather, temperatures are expected to linger around the low to-mid twenties Celsius on most days of the festival, with 27C heat possible on one of the days. However, it may not be completely dry as the latest forecast also suggests spells of rain and showers throughout the week.
This year, the event is being held in its usual location of Worthy Farm in Somerset from Wednesday, June 21 to Monday, June 26. Wednesday is so far looking to be a largely damp day, as BBC Weather forecasts light rain and showers, with some sunny spells, from 8am until 6pm.

What is the Met Office forecasting?
According to the Met Office's latest UK long-range forecast from Sunday, June 18 to Tuesday, June 27, it's going to feel pretty hot with some rain. The forecast reads: "Predominantly dry and settled conditions hanging on especially in northern and some eastern areas.
"From Sunday into early next week, there is an increasing risk of more widespread rain or showers for a time, which likely turn heavy and thundery at times. Temperatures again warm and feeling humid overnight, and very warm or hot by day in between any showers.
"Further ahead, a continuing risk of heavy showers and thunderstorms at times in the south and west, whereas further north and east there should be some more reliable drier interludes, then perhaps becoming more generally a little more settled by the end of this period. Warmer than average temperatures overall, with hot days even in wetter areas and continued humidity at night."
