UK weather: Jubilee weekend weather could see temperatures reach sweltering 30C

Some parts of the UK will see temperatures of up to 30C for the Jubilee weekend.

According to forecaster Netweather, the southeast and parts of the north will reach those temperatures on Friday, June 3. At the same time, London could see highs of up to 28C and, in the north, temperatures are being forecast to be at 24c and, in Scotland, 22C.

And, in Bristol, temperatures will reach 19C on Thursday, June 2, the latest forecast available.

Weather forecaster Jim Dale told Express.co.uk that the UK could see "very warm", dry and sunny weather over the Jubilee weekend, running from Thursday, June 2 to Sunday, June 5. While Mr Dale warned that the weather leading up to the bank holiday will be "chequered", with some rain and showers around, the forecaster said it will clear up by the time the Jubilee festivities get underway.

However, he warned that the country may also see some thunderstorms in the southeast towards the end of the weekend. Mr Dale, senior meteorologist at British Weather Services, told Express.co.uk: "The run-up to it is chequered, it's mixed, it's not that warm.

"Don't get me wrong, it's warm enough - I never complain at 17C, 18C, but it's not 20Cs, so the road is chequered. There will be rain around and showers all the way through next week. Around May 30 we're seeing high pressure coming in from the south east. It's a good direction, a warming direction.

"So that little run-up before you actually get to the second of June, it's decent, it's warming. And you are going to see into the 20s. And that's everywhere, most parts of the country. So it's warming up nicely."
