Look out the summer clothes! What will the weather be in Aberdeenshire, Moray and Highlands for Platinum Jubilee weekend?

Are you holding your breath for beautiful weather in Aberdeenshire, Moray and the Highlands for the Platinum Jubilee?

Brace yourself, because you might just get what you wished for!

With the Met Office predicting temperatures that look as though they might just be in the mid teens, by Saturday you may be basking-in-the sunshine you were hoping for.

But no doubt, if that all changes, we will all bring out the stiff upper lip and get on with it.

The Met Office says warm weather across the north and north-east tomorrow will remain so for the weekend across Scotland – with cooler temperatures in the Orkney and Shetland.

But, before you bring the barbecue out for the season – rain is still possible. But higher June temperatures are beginning to break through.

The Press and Journal has produced an interactive map of events across the north and north-east.

What is the Met Office forecasting?

A look ahead to Jubilee weekend

It’ll be a fine and dry Jubilee weekend for many in the north, but a plume of warm air from the continent brings with it a risk of some thundery showers in the south from Saturday.

It will start rather cool in northern areas, while closer to average temperatures for the time of year further south, likely peaking at around 20-22C on Thursday but the south seeing temperatures of 23-25C on Friday.

For the remainder of the weekend the highest temperatures are likely to be in the northwest of Scotland, with cooler conditions further south.

Western areas look most likely to see a few heavier showers on Friday, with a small chance of one or two for central parts, while areas further to the east should get the best of any sunshine.

From Saturday, there is still a good deal of uncertainty in the forecast.

Settled weather is on the cards for most northern areas with patchy cloud and sunny spells.

However, a plume of warm air from the continent will influence the weather in southern and central areas, bringing showers here that could turn heavy and thundery at times.

The Met Office said it was keeping an eye on this situation and it may issue warnings nearer the time.

What will the temperature be where you are?

Temperatures in Aberdeen will sit at about 12C-15C over the bank platinum jubilee weekend, but could feel cooler due to the wind. Bright sunshine on Friday, Saturday and Sunday – but you might need a cardigan or simmet.

In Stornoway, temperatures will see highs of 17C on Saturday, with a lows of 10C. Due to a easterly wind, it is likely to feel cooler. But expect sunshine on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

It will be sunshine and clouds in Braemar peaking at 18C on Saturday, although overnight on Friday into Saturday, the mercury is expected to dip to 4C.

Elgin in Moray will see the best of the weather with temperatures of 18C expected on Saturday, 17C Sunday and 15C Monday.

Inverness temperatures range from 14C on Friday to 18C on Saturday with a dip down on Sunday to 14C, with clouds and 13C forecast on Monday.

Oban and Tiree is set for a weekend bathed in sunlight, with top temperatures of 18C from Friday through to Monday.

Lerwick and Kirkwall will sit around 12C -15C for much of the weekend, with a mixed picture of clouds and some sunshine.

Prolonged periods of sunshine

Rebekah Sherwin, Met Office deputy chief meteorologist, said: “Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England look like they’ll see the driest conditions from Saturday onwards, most likely enjoying some prolonged periods of sunshine.”
