Bristol is set to enjoy an extended long weekend to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Across the four-day break at the beginning of June, there will be plenty of parties to celebrate the monarch's 70-year reign.
So, some warm weather and sunny days would be much appreciated by many. And, while it is still too early for exact weather forecasts, early predictions are suggesting there will be sunshine and warm conditions, as reported by MyLondon.
According to Sky News, weather producer Kirsty McCabe said: "At the moment it looks as though the weather will turn drier and increasingly settled as we head towards the end of May with high pressure becoming the dominant feature into the first week of June. That means we can expect largely dry, settled and warm conditions with a royally good amount of sunshine for the Jubilee weekend."

She added: "Of course, forecast models can't give specific details this far in advance, so it's worth keeping an eye on the details nearer the time. However, the present outlook indicates weather fit for a Queen."
The Met Office's long forecast for the beginning of June says: "Temperatures are likely to be above average across the south but closer to average further north. Toward mid-June it may turn less settled across the north of the UK, bringing rain or showers, while the south may remain largely fine."
The long Jubilee weekend will kick off with the Trooping The Colour Parade on Thursday, June 2. Beginning at Buckingham Palace, the Parade will move down The Mall to Horse Guard’s Parade, joined by members of the Royal Family on horseback and in carriages.
The Parade will close with the traditional RAF fly-past, watched by The Queen and members of the Royal Family from the Buckingham Palace balcony. The Queen announced that only working members of the family, plus a few extras, will be appearing on the balcony this year.
