Flash-flooding, rain and swills of mud… It might sound like your typical Irish music festival, but for once it’s not our country that’s getting battered by adverse weather conditions.

The official schedule for Glastonbury kicks off tomorrow at Worthy Farm in Somerset, but people were arriving on site as early as yesterday morning. However those making an effort to be early birds were thwarted by horrible weather, causing traffic delays of up to 12 hours.

So bad was the congestion that the Glastonbury organisers issued a warning yesterday morning advising people to hold off on making their journey, and to stock up on “supplies” if they were already on the road.

Eeek.

By yesterday evening, the queues had returned to a normal level, but those who did make it on site were greeted with views like this:

Thankfully the rain seems to have died down somewhat this morning, but the swathes of mud remain.
