Those heading to the events will have been keeping a close eye on the weather forecast. And the Met Office has this morning issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms which comes into force at 2pm on Saturday, covering Wales and the south east, south west and north west of England including almost all of Greater Manchester
"Whilst many places will be largely dry, thunderstorms with heavy rain and hail are likely to develop in some places on Saturday afternoon," the Met Office says.
"High temperatures developing across parts of England and Wales on Saturday are expected to trigger a scattering of showers across this area, some of which are likely to be torrential and thundery, bringing 30-40mm in an hour," they continue.
"The odd place affected by multiple showers could see more than this, perhaps in excess of 60mm. As well as rain, hail, strong gusts of wind, and lightning will be additional hazards.
"Despite all of this, many places in the warning area will remain dry, or only see small amounts of rain, due to the well-scattered nature of the heaviest showers."
Despite the warning, which expires at 9pm, it is expected to be a sweltering day
