King Charles III’s coronation will take place this Saturday May 6th with the weather forecast being heavy rain and thunderstorms throughout England.
Weather maps indicate that the royal procession from the palace to Westiminster Abbey, likely to be a major high moment for spectators, could remain dry. But scattered showers are on the agenda for Britain, with many central parts of the country likely to see some downpours.
This means street parties and outdoor celebrations of any kind may have to be abandoned at the last minute, with many resorting to the live coverage on TV to keep their patriotic spirit going (and themselves dry).
The Met Office has ended weeks of weather speculation today as it has announced how the King’s Coronation weekend could look. Forecasters have all collectively chipped in, reading different weather maps to indicate whether or not the country will be basking in sunshine on the first full weekend of May. Now, the Met Office has revealed its full outlook for the second bank holiday of the month – and it’s looking like a mixed bag for many – with rain dominating.
The weather forecaster shared that Saturday, the day of the coronation, will face showers throughout but they are not expected to impact all of the UK.
Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster, Steven Keates, explained: “On Saturday we will see showers developing from late morning in some central, eastern and northern areas, but also with some sunny spells through the day.
“At this stage it looks like London could avoid the showers in the morning before some develop through the afternoon.
“Heavier rain is expected to move into the southwest of the UK and heavy showers are likely for parts of Northern Ireland.
