THE MET Office have confirmed that Brits can expect to see 'hail and thunder' during next week ahead of the Jubilee Bank Holiday.
It has already been said that the weather for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee bank holiday looks unclear – and it could be a washout across the country.
The Met Office forecast predicting the weather next week does say there is a possibility of sunshine, coming in from the Atlantic, but it is still early to be sure what will happen.
But if a low pressure over the Azores comes closer, then it is likely to bring showers for the whole country.
The Met Office's UK forecast for Tuesday to Thursday states that it will be "rather cool with a mixture of sunny spells and showers, some heavy with hail and thunder."
They added: "Becoming mostly dry with plenty of sunshine and warmer on Thursday."

Met Office explain ‘loose cannon’ weather Jubilee weekend
Over the Azores an unusual weather stream has appeared – which means systems are more random.
Met Office forecaster Aidan McGivern says it is a “loose cannon”.
He explained: “It’s going to meander about fairly randomly, that makes its behaviour difficult to predict.”
He added: “Some computer models are suggesting that low will drift our way from the south west for the end of next week to bring widespread showers and outbreaks of rain from the south west.
“Higher pressure towards the north west, lower pressure towards the east but other computer models suggest we keep the higher pressure to the west and lower pressure to the east.”

Sunscreen facts: Protect your skin
Make sure your skin is protected this summer, to avoid sun damage.
Pick an SPF with a broad spectrum protection. This means that the sunscreen must protect from UVB and UVA rays. While all sunscreens protect against UVB rays, you also have to be careful of the UVA rays which can also cause skin cancer and premature wrinkles.
Opt for SPF 30, or higher. Did you know, that the higher the SPF does not correlate to better skin protection?
However, if you chose an SPF of 15 or lower, you are only protected against sunburn, not skin cancer due to sun damage or aging.
No sun protection is waterproof or water resistant, and it is important to keep reapplying before and after water exposure. If you check the back of the bottle, it will tell you just how much protection you really get.
