THE Bank Holiday weekend is set to be SAVED by a plume of tropical air that will blast away this week's miserable downpours, experts say.
The Met Office have said that Londoners could see highs of "23C tomorrow".
Their Friday forecast said: "Any mist or fog lifting to give another dry morning with long sunny periods. Sunshine continuing into the afternoon, but a little hazier in the west. Showers spreading north overnight. Maximum temperature 23 °C."
According to weather charts from WXCHARTS and reports from BBC meteorologists, the start of Queen's Jubilee weekend will remain dry.
According to BBC Meteorologist Chris Fawkes, there will be a "sunny start to [Thursday] morning if some what cool, but temperatures will quickly rise".
Deputy chief meteorologist Helen Caughey said: “While it may be an unsettled start for some with showers for northern and western areas, many areas will see generally settled conditions over much of the long Jubilee Weekend, with plenty of dry weather and good spells of sunshine.

Balmy conditions to continue into tomorrow
The balmy conditions will continue into Friday when Brits will bask in 26C heat.
The rest of the four-day weekend looks slightly more uncertain, with patches of rain and potential thunder.
The warmest weather across Saturday and Sunday will be found in the northwest of Scotland, with cooler breezes blowing further south.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Rudman said: "Some may see an unsettled start to the long weekend, with showers for Northern Ireland, Wales and western England, however, it will be much more settled for many, with plenty of dry weather and good spells of sunshine.
"Temperatures could reach 26C in the south on Friday, although this will likely be the warmest day and later in the weekend the highest temperatures are likely to be in the northwest.
"A plume of warm air, currently across the continent, then pushes north over the UK through the weekend.
"However, there is uncertainty on how far north it will stretch with the latest outlook suggesting it will bring a spell of showers to southern areas from Saturday which could turn heavy and possibly thundery at times.
"Although there will also be some breaks in the cloud even here, and northern areas are most likely to stay fine and dry.
"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."

Brits don red, white & blue as they bask in 22C heat

Temperatures are expected to hit 22C for the momentous occasion thanks to a plume of tropical air sweeping in from the continent.

And Jubilee street parties up and down the country won't be a washout as feared after this week's miserable downpours.
The weather will be warmest in the south east of England, where highs of 22C are forecast in London.
Elsewhere, the mercury will hover in the high teens to mid 20s – but it’s sunshine pretty much all round.

Unsettled weather for the Jubilee
The Met Office's deputy chief meteorologist Helen Caughey said: “While it may be an unsettled start for some with showers for northern and western areas, many areas will see generally settled conditions over much of the long Jubilee weekend.
"There'll be plenty of dry weather and good spells of sunshine.
"Temperatures will be widely into the low 20s, feeling warmer in the sunshine, although temperatures will drop off quickly into the evenings.
“The main source of any uncertainty for the weekend itself is to do with how far a plume of warm air to the south encroaches over southern areas of the UK.
"At present it’s looking like it could glance the far southeast on Saturday and Sunday, which would bring with it the risk of some showers, although the heaviest showers look likely to be contained over the continent.”

Street parties face washout with heavy rain on Sunday
STREET parties celebrating the Queen's Jubilee look set for a washout this weekend as heavy rain sweeps the country.
Forecasters fear a rogue low pressure system will put a dampener on the historical weekend – but assured Brits there will still be sunshine.
And as Londoners honour the Queen's seven-decade reign on Sunday with the Platinum Jubilee pageant, the Met predicts downpours will hit southern parts of the country.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Helen Caughey said: "The latest outlook suggests that this plume of warm air could bring a spell of showers to southern areas overnight on Friday and into early Saturday, with some showers hanging around for a time on Saturday.
"Further showers are likely for southern areas on Sunday, perhaps the odd heavy one, most likely at this stage for the far southeast."
