Hopes bank hol Jubilee weekend will be hottest of the year

There are hopes the Platinum Jubilee week will be the hottest of the year, despite the fears of a weekend washout.

Temperatures next week could exceed the current 2022 high of 27.5C, as Brits prepare to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee at the start of June.

But early predictions show a low-pressure front from France dampening spirits with heavy downpours by Saturday of the Jubilee weekend.

British Weather Services senior meteorologist Jim Dale said the heat could “ramp up” in the days before Brits mark the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.

He said: “On the run into that weekend we might see something that’s a little bit warmer – maybe even very warm.”

But he warned heavy rain is likely for the Saturday and Sunday, adding: “It’s early days but that kicks in fairly quickly across the course of that weekend.”

Met Office reveals forecast for Platinum Jubilee weekend

MET office experts have revealed the forecast for the Platinum Jubilee amid hopes for the hottest week of the year.

But there is a lot of uncertainty on details of rainfall.

There is a chance of showers in the northeast with the driest and brightest weather expected to be in the west.

It will follow higher temperatures this weekend, which are expected to reach the high teens and early 20s. 

Meteorologist Aiden McGivern said: “The pressure is on for a ten-day trend – it includes two bank holidays at the end of next week.

“The positive news is that it’s unlikely to be as windy as it is at the moment.”

Outlook: May 31 – June 9

According to the Met Office, weather will remain mixed in the first week of June, with rain easing and temperatures rising slightly.

The organisation said: “Eastern areas are likely to be cloudier with a higher risk of showers at the start of this period, with drier weather and the best of the sunshine probably in the west. 

“The east is also expected to see cooler than average temperatures over this period. Into the rest of next week, it will likely be mainly fine and dry, but occasional rain and showers, mainly in the east. Feeling warm in any sunshine. 

“Towards the bank holiday weekend this pattern is likely to continue, and although there will be plenty of dry weather with sunny spells, there’s also a chance of some more unsettled, showery conditions developing for some parts of the UK. Any stronger winds likely easing though and temperatures likely remaining around average for most.”
