Scotland is to see gloomy bouts of weather this week, but forecasters have revealed exactly when things will heat up again.
While it's been a mixed bag of sun and rain this Spring, the next season is set to be a warm one. The Met Office predicts temperatures will gradually rise this month and are set to heat up this week from Saturday, May 20.
The long range weather forecast anticipates a "good amount of fine and dry weather for most" that's to last until Sunday, May 28. June is set to be a warm one thanks to a bout of high pressure that will be strong across Scotland, particularly in the north with "higher than average temperatures" until Monday, June 12.
