ALWAYS take the weather with you - or at least the weather forecast.

For the Isle of Wight Festival 2022 will revellers experience sunshine on a rainy day or thunder in their hearts?

We've looked at the IW Met Service's latest forecast to see what the weather will bring this coming weekend, Thursday, June 16 to Sunday, June 19. 

Local forecaster Jamie Russell said: "It looks like starting off very warm with hazy sunshine on Thursday followed by a hot and sunny day on Friday.

"As we move into Saturday things should stay very warm or even hot throughout but perhaps a little more in the way of increasing cloud, also with the increasing risk of a shower.

"Overnight Saturday and into Sunday it seems likely that showers will develop, with some very heavy and possibly thundery downpours in places.

"Sunday looks like a much cooler day with mostly cloudy conditions along with some patchy rain at times.

"Our confidence after Friday is extremely low at this point due to a lot of divergence between the weather models, however it does seem likely that Sunday will be the coolest and most unsettled day of the festival."
