After all that rain, the sun's going to pop out at last! Dry and bright evening predicted for Jubilee concert

Up to an inch of rain fell across large parts of the country yesterday, with the temperature in London failing to get past 12c (54f) while Leeds was a chilly 7c (45f) – more than 10c lower than the June average.
But it did little to affect the atmosphere for those watching the river pageant in the capital or attending the 10,000 street parties held across the nation.
And for the thousands heading into London tonight for the jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace, there could just be a break in the clouds.

Instead of singing in the rain, forecasters predict that they will enjoy a dry and sunny evening. Matt Dobson, a forecaster with Meteogroup, said: ‘It’s not looking too bad at all. 
‘It was pretty miserable in London for the pageant along the Thames, especially for those who decided to camp out overnight. We saw up to an inch of rain fall quite widely across England and Wales, spreading from London up to the Midlands and into Wales and the South-East.
‘But the rain is moving eastwards which will make way for sunny intervals and the odd shower here and there.
‘It’s certainly going to be an improvement and for those attending the jubilee concert it’s going to be a dry, sunny and cool evening at the Palace.

‘In fact, some of the best weather will be around on Monday afternoon.’
The wet weather will, however, return by tomorrow. A new band of rain is expected to move in from the West, spreading further east through the day.
Nevertheless, forecasters expect London to remain pretty much unscathed by it.
Temperatures are even expected to rise to 15c (59f) in time for tomorrow’s service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral, receptions in the City and lunch at Westminster Hall for senior royals, and a carriage procession to the Palace.

On Wednesday, as the country returns to work, the weather shows no sign of improving, with widespread heavy showers expected, accompanied by the added risk of thunder.
The bout of rain and below-average temperatures is in stark contrast to the Mediterranean sunshine and record 28c (82f) heat that bathed most of the country last weekend.
‘The change in the weather has been incredible,’ said Mr Dobson. ‘Last week there was barely a cloud in the sky anywhere in the country.’
