The Met Office has given its verdict on reports a "mini heatwave" is set to hit the UK in the week leading up to the King's Coronation.
A number of outlets have claimed the country will bask in sunshine, with temperatures of up to 24C, however forecasters are saying differently.
Met Office meteorologists are predicting things will stay cloudy and rainy this weekend, with some scattered showers on Sunday and more rain into Monday. It is then set to be drier on Tuesday, April 25, but cooler.

Looking further ahead, there is still not much summery weather on the way. The two weeks before His Majesty's coronation, April 26-May 5, are set to begin "rather cloudy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle spreading from the southwest".
Forecasters added: "The best of any clear or sunny spells are most likely to be in the northeast of the country. As we move into May, there could be some rain in places at first, most likely in the north.
"However, we may see a spell of more settled weather developing, with light winds and predominantly dry conditions across the UK. A gradual upward trend in temperatures is likely, from a colder than average start."
