From street parties to garden barbecues, Scots with plans for the official coronation of King Charles III this weekend will no doubt be hoping for some good weather.
And now the Met Office has shared its official forecast for the historic weekend, with somewhat of a mixed bag for many parts of the UK.
Scotland in particular could see a combination of sunny spells and rain showers throughout Saturday and Sunday, when the bulk of the events are taking place.
Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster, Steven Keates, explains: "On Saturday we will see showers developing from late morning in some central, eastern and northern areas, but also with some sunny spells through the day."
On Sunday, when the Coronation Concert is due to take place, the driest and brightest weather looks set for parts of northern Scotland, say the forecasters.
As for the Bank Holiday Monday, in which people may be volunteering for the Big Help Out, weather is still uncertain and could change, but looks to remain unsettled.
However, during the coronation ceremonies down south, in which we will see the King officially mark his reign in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey, weather appears to be more positive..
Steven said: "At this stage it looks like London could avoid the showers [on Saturday] in the morning before some develop through the afternoon."
He added: "Highs of 20°C are possible in London in any sunshine, with mid to high teens possible elsewhere."
If temperatures do hit 20°C, that would make this weekend's spectacle the warmest coronation in recent history, the Met Office says.
The Coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II saw temperature highs of just 11.8°C on 2 June 1953 with some light rain through the day. HM King George VI's coronation saw highs of 14.2°C while his predecessor HM King George V was the mildest of the last four monarch’s Coronation, with daytime highs of 17°C on 22 June 1911.
