Heavy rain and thunder is expected to hit parts of the UK on Saturday, putting a damper on Platinum Jubilee celebrations. A yellow weather warning has been issued for parts of the south and west of England threatening to turn picnics into soggy sandwiches, with the worst-hit areas facing frequent lightning and downpours.
Wales misses the warning, but the forecast has changed quite dramatically since the start of the week when it was predicted to be dry. The Met Office forecast for Wales now says: "Saturday morning will be mostly dry in the north with bright spells, whilst showery rain is likely in the south, perhaps heavy and thundery. Skies may brighten more widely later. Maximum temperature will be around 19°C." You can see a list of street parties in your area here.
The outlook for Sunday says: " Cooler and mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain or showers." Not good news for the many Jubilee parties that are due to be held over the weekend in Wales, and for football fans heading to the Cardiff City stadium on Sunday night for Wales' crunch game against Ukraine.
