For anyone looking forward to the four-day Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend, the weather is probably going to play a part in your plans.

With many planning outdoor events such as street parties and barbecues to mark The Queen’s 70 years of service, wet weather could lead to more than a few wash outs.

We’ve turned to the Met Office to find out their weather predictions for the long weekend.

Saturday starts bright with cloud creeping in later and Sunday will seem more overcast than previous days.

Overnight feeling chillier with temperatures down to around 12C/13C.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Helen Caughey, said: “While it may be an unsettled start for some with showers for northern and western areas, many areas will see generally settled conditions over much of the long Jubilee Weekend, with plenty of dry weather and good spells of sunshine.

"Temperatures will be widely into the low 20s, feeling warmer in the sunshine, although temperatures will drop off quickly into the evenings.

"The main source of any uncertainty for the weekend itself is to do with how far a plume of warm air to the south encroaches over southern areas of the UK.

"At present it’s looking like it could glance the far southeast on Saturday and Sunday, which would bring with it the risk of some showers, although the heaviest showers look likely to be contained over the continent."
