Currently, the BBC is predicting mild temperatures for the Jubilee weekend, with only a small chance of rain. Both Saturday and Sunday are set to be relatively warm and cloudy, according to the BBC.

Despite this, Accuweather presents a somewhat different forecast for the Platinum Jubilee weekend. They aren’t predicting cloudy skies, like the BBC. Not only this, but they also note the possibility of sporadic bouts of rainfall.

According to Accuweather, Saturday will see 0.7mm of rainfall, which will probably occur at some point in the early afternoon. Meanwhile, Sunday is estimated to be significantly more dour. Accuweather states that there will be an approximate 5.9mm of rainfall on this day, with further potential for thunderstorms in the afternoon. Despite this, the rain isn’t expected to last for any more than three hours.

With two forecasters predicting two different weather reports, it’s likely that the eventual outcome will lay somewhere in the middle. It’s definitely worth packing a waterproof jacket though, just in case.

Thankfully, it isn’t set to be a swelteringly hot or chillingly cold Platinum Jubilee. Both the BBC and Accuweather are predicting tepid temperatures, with a gentle breeze to along with it.

On Saturday, the BBC predicts a maximum temperature of 18 degrees celsius, while Accuweather has a very similar figure of 19 degrees celsius. Both days will be virtually unaffected by the wind – wind gusts across the weekend will not exceed speeds of 32kmph.

With the clouds and potential for rain, it’s unlikely to ever reach “shorts weather” during the jubilee weekend – but if you’re brave enough, there’s no one to stop you!
