The Met Office has commented on claims about a possible warm spell that could sweep into Scotland this week.
Nick Finnis of Netweather had told the Mirror of his prediction that temperatures could reach as high as 23C by the end of the month due to an 'exceptionally' warm burst of air from Africa.
"Some computer models show 22C or 23C by midweek. An exceptionally-warm plume of air from northwest Africa looks like being pumped across Europe and to Britain, with up to the low 30s in France, and over 20C in southern Britain," he said.
