Today is the summer solstice, when the midday sun is in its farthest north as it travels through the tropics of Cancer, marking the beginning of astronomical summer in the northern hemisphere. We also see campers gathering at Glastonbury, and the festival is blessed with nice, very warm weather until at least Thursday. However, some potentially heavy rainfall may break out on Thursday, before it becomes more generally restless and rainy until Friday and over the weekend, when it will be much cooler.
So, while on Friday at Worthy Farm you will sometimes need raincoats, in the meantime most of us expect quite warm, sunny weather. Today will be mostly a sunny day with light winds in most of England and Wales. It will be warm or very warm, with afternoon temperatures ranging from 21 to 25 ° C. In Scotland and Northern Ireland you will see more clouds and a few rains, as the cloud over distant Northern England breaks up during the day. It will be cooler here in the western breeze, with maximum temperatures from 16 to 21C, but only from 12 to 14C in the far north.
The western breeze brings foggy conditions and light rain or rain at night and at night in the north and west of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Most places elsewhere have a summer evening, followed by a dry, mostly clear night with light winds. This will allow several patches of fog or dawn to form in rural areas, but each will be short-lived. However, the night is not expected to be cold with the lowest temperatures in the country between 8 and 13 degrees.
In low-pressure conditions, Wednesday should be similar, as much of the country is good with long sunny periods in low winds.
