As the UK prepares to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with a four-day bank holiday weekend, drier and warmer weather is on the way though showers threaten to dampen the festivities in some areas. According to the Met Office, the bank holiday will start off fine and bright for most, with Thursday the best day for people across the whole of the UK to enjoy street parties, barbecues and other outdoor events.
Thursday, when the official programme kicks off with the Trooping the Colour military spectacle in central London, is "looking good", Met Office spokesperson Oli Claydon said. There will be sunny spells and temperatures are set to hit 22 °C in the south. The weather map for Cardiff shows highs of 19°C on Thursday and 20°C on Friday, while in Swansea it is forecast to be 18°C on Thursday and 19°C on Friday.
The Met Office forecast for Wales from Thursday to Saturday says: " Sunny for a while on Thursday, but cloudier later. Showers developing on Friday, then becoming drier on Saturday. Becoming a little warmer by day, though still with some chilly nights."
