It’s looking set to be dry and (hopefully) mud free for Electric Picnic this weekend, with a forecast of highest temperatures of 14 to 16 degrees today and up to 17 degrees tomorrow. There might be the odd light shower today, but overall it looks set to be clear with a moderate breeze.
It might be a little chilly when you’re bedding down, with tonight’s temperatures dropping to about nine degrees.
Tomorrow should be a little sunnier, with the occasional cloudy spell.
