Jubilee weekend set to be the hottest of the year as Brits enjoy two Bank Holidays
Brits are set to celebrate the Queen‘s Platinum Jubilee in less than two weeks – and it’s now been revealed that the four-day weekend is likely to be the hottest weekend of the year so far.
Temperatures across the UK are set to soar on the bank holidays, with certain parts of the country experiencing temperatures of up to 28C.
Those in London could be in for highs of 27C, and up in Scotland, there could also be similarly high temperatures.
Jim Dale, senior meteorologist at British Weather Services, told Express.co.uk that the Jubilee weekend is likely to be “predominantly dry” and “very warm”.

He said: “At the moment it’s on course for being predominantly dry, nearly universally dry, predominantly sunny.
“So basically sunny, dry in the main universally and also very warm, increasingly so as you go through the course of the weekend.
“And I don’t just mean London that’s going to be 27C – it might also be Edinburgh. In other words Scotland and that far north is going to be in there as well. So it really spreads across the country.”
Jim went on to explain what Brits could expect from 2 June to 5 June, adding: “At the moment it looks favourable for a continental inflow.
“So we’re getting this off of the continent and it’s pushing up through Scotland. So that’s why Scotland will be as warm, maybe even warmer than some southeastern areas.
“And that will include Northern Ireland, Manchester, North Wales, as in getting the hottest temperatures.”
He added that temperatures of up to 28C could see the bank holiday be the “warmest weekend” of the year to date, saying: “It is still a long way off but we could well be seeing 27C and 28C in certain places.
“So this could be the warmest weekend universally of the year to date. That’s what it’s looking like, with the caveat that we’re still some distance away.”
It looks like others agree too, with Sky News weather producer Kirsty McCabe recently saying: “At the moment it looks as though the weather will turn drier and increasingly settled as we head towards the end of May with high pressure becoming the dominant feature into the first week of June.
“That means we can expect largely dry, settled and warm conditions with a royally good amount of sunshine for the Jubilee weekend.”

The Met Office forecast says: “We’re still some two weeks away from the Jubilee Weekend, but the long-range outlook shows a trend for some possible warm weather in southern areas, and closer to average temperatures further north.”
And weather forecasters WXCharts have also said that dry weather is expected across the Jubilee weekend.
