Edinburgh weather: Scorcher for Harry Styles and rain for Beyoncé as sun shines on Murrayfield

Meteorologists at BBC Weather have predicted that 'golden' skies are ahead for Harry Styles fans in Edinburgh - but Beyhive members will have to weather the storm.

According to the BBC Weather forecast, light rain and light winds are expected this weekend ahead of Beyoncé performing at Edinburgh's BT Murrayfield stadium.

Sun will shine on the capital from 2pm on Saturday, May 20 - but rain is expected to hit from 5pm until late, with highs of 17C.

The temperature will cool off by 10pm, when Beyoncé departs, with lows of 10C across the day.

Next week will see a mix of sun, rain and wind, with highs of 17C once again and lows of 6C from Monday onwards.

And then on the eve of Harry Styles' concert in Edinburgh, the sun will rear its head once again, with Saturday, May 27 predicted to have sunny intervals and a gentle breeze.

The sun will continue to shine throughout the evening, letting fans dance the night away in the 17C weather.

The real scorching temperatures will kick in the week after, however, as Monday, May 29 will bring clear skies, lots of sunshine and 19C weather.

Read on below for an in-depth look into the weather over the next few weeks, including May 20 and May 27, for concert-goers.

Friday's forecast

Friday will be a largely dry and settled day with long spells of sunshine for many. However, areas of cloud will build in for north-western areas through the afternoon.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday

A mostly cloudy day on Saturday, with spells of rain moving into the north-west and far north, spreading across the rest of Scotland later.

Sunday looks to be a similar day, with mostly cloudy skies and a few lingering spots of rain in the north but drier and brighter in the south. Monday will see variable cloud and some patchy rain for most through the day.

Long range weather forecast from May 23 until June 1

According to the Met Office, high pressure will dominate over most of the UK through the first half of this period, with settled conditions for most of the country.

Exceptions to these settled conditions could develop in the northwest and the southeast, where there may be outbreaks of rain and drizzle at times.

Winds will be light across the majority of areas but could be stronger at times in the far northwest and southeast.

During the second half of this period, high pressure is expected to continue to lie across much of the UK.

This is likely to extend over the southwest and northeast of the country bringing a return to more settled weather.

This will bring a good deal of fine and dry weather for the majority of areas.
