Glasgow weather to be hotter than Majorca as temperatures hit almost 20C

If you've been waiting for some much needed sun, it's good news.

Last month we had some pretty good weather with Mother's Day reaching highs of 17C - and soon it's set to be like that again according to forecasters.

According to The Scottish Sun, temperatures are set to rise thanks to hot air blown two thousand miles from the Sahara Desert making Scotland as hot as the Balearic Islands for the Bank Holiday weekend.

Bookmakers Coral slashed odds on record Easter temperatures from 4-1 to 5-4 with Coral spokesman Harry Aitkenhead saying: "It looks like we'll have very hot cross buns. The sun will shine and the odds say this Easter could enter the record books."

Met Office forecast Marco Petagna added: "Easter looks promising, with high pressure dominating."

"Warmer weather will be seen as winds swing to the south. Sometimes we see a step change in temperatures signalling the start of spring proper, and this week could mark that change.

"Saharan dust could visit us again, which means potential for nice sunsets - and the risk of a grubby car."

So what's the weather looking like to the week ahead?
