Met Office Edinburgh weather: Jubilee Bank Holiday set for warmth and sunshine

Edinburgh is set to see some pleasant weather just in time for the Bank Holiday weekend.

With people across the country having Friday off work in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee — marking 70 years since she took the throne — there'll be plenty of opportunity to head out and enjoy the sun.

According to forecaster the Met Office, there will be "dry, brighter weather" this afternoon following a cloudy morning.

Temperatures will be mild for most of the day, peaking at 13 degrees Celsius at around 3pm, before holding steading at around 10C throughout the evening.

Overnight, skies will again turn cloudy, but will gradually clear up during Saturday morning.

After 11am, skies will be clear and temperatures will start to surge — peaking at 15C across most of the afternoon.

Throughout the day — and weekend — the Met Office warns that the UV index will be high, so sun protection is recommended if you head out.

Saturday evening will be relatively warm, with temperatures remaining above 10C until around midnight.

Skies will remain clear overnight and into Sunday, which looks to be another warm and clear day, with sunshine expected throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening — and temperatures again set to peak at 15C

Clouds will return by 10am, and will remain into and throughout Monday, which is forecast to be dry but slightly cooler.
