Weather forecasters are predicting a sunny spell throughout the jubilee weekend, offering great news for Britons who plan to make the most of the four-day bank holiday weekend at the beginning of June.
Tuesday (May 17) was officially the warmest day of the year so far, when temperatures climbed to 27.5°C. London was officially warmer than Majorca, where temperatures only got up to 23°C during the day, but not quite as warm in Wales with highs in the low 20s.

Forecasters now believe another wave of pleasant conditions will arrive just in time for Her Majesty’s celebrations from June 2 to June 5, making it an exciting summer ahead for sun lovers.
Sky News weather producer Kirsty McCabe told the Daily Star: “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 will say that it is too early to tell, but the forecasting service’s long-range forecast does go up to that first weekend in June. It says: “Into June, temperatures are likely to be above average across the south but closer to average further north. Toward mid-June it may turn less settled across the north of the UK, bringing rain or showers, while the south may remain largely fine.”

BBC Weather’s long range forecast for the start of June says: ” Into early summer we expect high pressure as across the central northern Atlantic that extends into north-west Europe. Low pressure could be centred west of Iberia and further low pressure systems move across northern Scandinavia. This would bring a drier pattern across England and Wales.”
