Glasgow can expect a pretty dreich weekend with the sun expected to be in hiding despite the recent weeks of dry weather, according to BBC Weather.

And not only is it set to rain, "thundery showers" are on the way with much of the weekend looking not-so-sunny.

Forecasters are predicting the thundershowers alongside lightning on Sunday (June 25) with it set to happen later in the afternoon. So if you're out and about, expect to be caught in the wet weather at around 2 pm.

Despite the highs of 24C on Saturday and 21 on Sunday, it's best to dress up in warmer clothing as you won't be able to sunbathe this weekend and your picnic food won't survive on the grass.

On Saturday, the downpours will settle at 3 pm however it is only expected to be a short break with it picking up again at 6 pm.

On Sunday, the worse of the two days, there is a dry spell in the morning for early risers getting out of their bed before 7 am. After this the rain will fall for much of the day, settling around 11 pm.

Talking about the week ahead, the BBC said: "Sunday will see sunny spells and a few showers to start, but through the afternoon heavy rain will move in from the west, thundery in places.

"A breezy or windy day. Monday will see sunny spells, patchy clouds and scattered showers, but turning cloudy with rain arriving by the evening. Turning a little cooler. A cloudy and wet day on Tuesday, with rain sweeping in from the west."
