Will sun shine on Dundee’ s Big Weekend?

It is known as the sunniest city in Scotland – but will Dundee enjoy summer weather for Radio 1’s Big Weekend?

About 80,000 people will descend on Camperdown Park between Friday and Sunday to see names like Tom Grennan, The 1975, Jess Glynne, Lewis Capaldi and Niall Horan.

The event will act as an opener to the UK’S festival season.

And revellers will be hoping for sunny and warm conditions to enjoy the three-day feast of music.

We have the latest forecast for Big Weekend – which we are updating daily in the lead-up to the event.

Big Weekend kicks off on Friday night with a special dance event.

Home-grown acts like Hannah Laing and Amyelle will entertain revellers as well as stars like Jamie XX, Arielle Free, Pete Tong and Sarah Story.

According to the Met Office, those heading to Camperdown Park in time for the gates opening on

Friday afternoon should expect highs of 16C.

But sunshine will be in short supply, with mainly cloud expected.

It may be feeling chilly by the time the opening night comes to an end, with temperatures of about 11C at 10pm.

Those heading to Big Weekend on Saturday can expect to see the best weather of the weekend.

After a sunny start, some cloud is forecast to move in during the afternoon before more sunny intervals heading into the evening.

Those enjoying music from the likes of The 1975, the Jonas Brothers and Jess Glynne may need to top up on the sunscreen, too, with expected highs of 18C.

However, with a breeze of more than 20mph at times, it may feel slightly cooler.

The Met Office predicts more dry weather for Sunday as fans enjoy the final day of Big Weekend.

After another sunny start, it will cloud over for the main part of the day.

Conditions will also be cooler than the previous day with highs of 15C which, once again, could feel a degree or two lower in the breeze.

With just a 10% chance of rain at any point of the day, it should ensure things stay dry for the headline performance from Lewis Capaldi – fresh from his intimate gigs at Fat Sam’s on Saturday.

Niall Horan, Zara Larsson and Wet Leg are among the other acts performing throughout the day.
