[1]It could be a wet wedding for Prince William and Kate Middleton as forecasters are predicting that the celebrations could be dampened by the notorious British weather.
Despite earlier predictions that the sun would shine on the royal newlyweds, updated forecasts on Monday indicated a strong chance of a traditional April shower.
The Met Office said temperatures would be 'noticeably cooler' due to a north-easterly breeze, with 'most parts of southern England at risk of seeing showers throughout Friday', reports the Daily Mail.
The entire Royal Family will travel in covered coaches if it rains, a St James’s Palace spokesman confirmed on Monday.
The forecast comes after much of the country basked in a heatwave this bank holiday with predictions that this month will beat the 2007 record as the warmest ever April.
A spokesman said: “It’s all calculated around visibility and cloud base. At this time of year the weather is very unlikely to have an effect.”
Contingency plans have been drawn up by courtiers to cater for every eventuality on Friday.
