Glastonbury attendees may be in for more bad weather after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning.
Proceedings have got off to a rather muddy start at the Worthy Farm site with rain coming down yesterday (26 June 2014) and today. It looks like things could be set to get worse however with the Met Office warning of potential flooding, thunderstorms and hail along with the rain.
The yellow warning will be in place until 9pm tomorrow, with a spokesperson saying: "Showers will become heavy and thundery across southwestern parts of England and Wales early on Friday, moving northeast to affect other areas south of The Wash to North Wales during the day."
"Some reduction in activity is expected overnight, before further slow moving heavy and thundery downpours develop during Saturday, easing from the north later. "The public should be aware that the resulting downpours may lead to localised flooding and potential disruption to transport and outdoor events."
A chief forecaster added: "a slack area of low pressure is expected to extend eastwards across southern UK on Friday and Saturday, bringing with it moist and deeply unstable air."
"Daytime heating will assist the development of heavy showers and thunderstorms. These are likely to become slow-moving and organised into bands giving some places 15-20 mm of rain in an hour or less and perhaps 40 mm in 2 or 3 hours."
"Hail and lightning will be additional hazards. As with the nature of showers, some places will escape the heavier ones."
