Forecasters say King Charles’ Coronation is set to be happy and glorious for many, with a mix of sunshine and showers. 

As for the end of the bank holiday, Monday is likely to be dominated by high pressure with fewer showers around- drier conditions are expected across the west as the slow showers migrate to the east.

Temperatures for the coming weekend the first May bank holiday, are on the rise after a chilly week brought by northerly winds from the Arctic, with a maximum of 20C predicted in the southeast on Saturday and 18C far north.

Rain is possible on Saturday and Sunday, mostly in central and western areas of England and Wales, while Monday is due to be mostly dry.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Matthew Lehnert said: ‘On Saturday, the heaviest showers are likely to be focused across Northern Ireland, northeast Wales and central England. 

‘On Sunday, showers are expected to affect a larger part of the UK, although central and southeast England are expected to remain mainly dry. 

‘By Monday, drier conditions are expected to develop across the west, whilst showers become concentrated across eastern areas.’

The forecasters say the first half of next week will likely be dominated by high pressure but warn that humid air from further south could bring some heavy and potentially thundery showers.

It’s still too soon to know exactly what the Coronation weekend will look like, but fine and dry conditions are predicted.

In southern England, which is likely to be the warmest area, temperatures could reach at least 20C.  as temperatures start to climb as we get closer to the May bank holiday
