Met Office predicts 'continental plume' as showers threaten Queen's Jubilee weekend
Met Office have revealed the weather Brits can expect ahead of the Platinum Jubilee weekend as forecasts suggest a royal washout could be on the way instead.The UK will enjoy a four-day Bank Holiday weekend beginning on Thursday June 2, to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 70 years on the throne.Temperatures next week could exceed the current 2022 high of 27.5C as Brits prepare to celebrate with a week full of festivities.But early predictions show a low-pressure front from France dampening spirits with heavy downpours by Saturday of the Jubilee weekend.Dan Rudman, Met Office deputy chief meteorologist, said: "As we move into next week, there's a more mixed picture once again."He added: "Spells of rain affecting many places before more settled conditions are expected through the middle of the week, though still with the chance of some showers even then.""Although the Jubilee Weekend is still a week away, what we're keeping an eye on is how a plume of warm air behaves later in the week."Which, despite returning temperatures to around average for the time of year, could also bring some showers as it moves in from the south and travels north on Thursday and Friday."It will follow higher temperatures this weekend, which are expected to reach the high teens and early 20s.Meteorologist Aiden McGivern said: "The pressure is on for a ten-day trend - it includes two bank holidays at the end of next week.Mr McGivern said that colder and rainy weather would start moving in from Sunday and then it will be quite unsettled and unpredictable by the end of the week."Some computer models are suggesting that low will drift our way from the southwest for the end of next week to bring widespread showers and outbreaks of rain from the southwest,"
