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.

Met Office forecast for Weymouth Platinum Jubilee weekend

While the Isle of Wight can forget about a heat wave during the Platinum Jubilee weekend, there should still be plenty of sushine around.

Although a cloudy start to Thursday has been predicted, this should clear away leaving a sunny afternoon with temperatures reaching around 17C.

Sunday looks set to be the best day of the extended break - a bright day with highs of 20C expected.

The cloud will start to creep in overnight and throughout Saturday  although there are sunny Intervals to look forward to.

Sunday is likely to be quite overcast with the chance of some light showers, so best to hold any outdoor celebrations before then.

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."
