What is Glastonbury’s typical climate through the seasons?
Glastonbury has a mild maritime climate influenced by its position in the Somerset Levels. Winter daytime highs usually sit in single digits Celsius, with frost possible on clear nights. Summer brings highs in the upper teens to low twenties, though heatwaves can push temperatures higher. Rainfall is spread fairly evenly through the year, with autumn and winter often wettest. Wind can be noticeable, especially on exposed ground near the Tor.
How does local geography affect Glastonbury weather?
The town lies in a low-lying basin that can trap fog and mist, particularly in autumn and winter. The Bristol Channel, roughly 15 miles west, moderates temperatures and often brings cloud. Glastonbury Tor, a prominent hill, creates its own microclimate: the summit may be windier and cooler than the town centre, while the lee side can be sheltered during strong south-westerlies.
When is the best time to visit Glastonbury and what should you pack?
Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September) offer mild weather and fewer crowds. For the Glastonbury Festival in late June, expect changeable conditions – pack layers, a waterproof jacket and sturdy footwear. In winter bring warm layers and a strong umbrella. Sun protection is useful even on overcast days, especially near water or on the Tor.
Where else do readers check for local weather?
- Wells, 6 miles east, often experiences similar conditions.
- Taunton, 10 miles south-west, gives a good reading for the wider Somerset area.
- Cheddar, 8 miles north, shows how the Mendip Hills alter local rainfall patterns.
What will the weather in Glastonbury be like tomorrow?
Check the live forecast above for tomorrow’s specific conditions. In general, you can expect temperatures close to today’s, though cloud cover and rain are common. The hourly view shows the timing of any showers or brighter spells.
How reliable is the 10–14 day outlook for Glastonbury?
Medium-range forecasts are useful for general trends – such as whether a settled spell or unsettled Atlantic weather is likely. As Glastonbury’s weather changes quickly, treat specific rain timings beyond seven days as indicative rather than exact. The 10-day forecast page updates regularly.
Does it rain a lot in Glastonbury?
Glastonbury receives around 900mm of rain per year, similar to the UK average. Rain falls on roughly half the days, often as light drizzle or short showers. The wettest months are October to January. Even in summer, an umbrella is a wise addition to your day bag.
