The coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort, Camilla will be taking place at Windsor Castle on Saturday, May 6, 2023. The weather across the UK is predicted to be unsettled, with showers and even some heavy, thundery downpours on Friday and Sunday.

However, Friday is expected to be a day of sunshine and showers across the country, which could be heavy and slow moving at times with some thunder, lightning and hail. The showers will affect most parts of the UK, including London, with some more persistent rain affecting parts of eastern Scotland with high temperatures of 19C possible in the south of England.

Met Office deputy chief forecaster, Steven Keates, said: “On Saturday we will see some heavy rain moving into the southwest in the early hours which will move north eastwards through the morning. Further north in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland it will be a day of sunshine and showers before the more persistent rain moves northwards overnight. It will feel humid, especially in the south.”
