Glasgow set for Easter 'heatwave' as Met Office predicts temperatures warmer than Barcelona

Glaswegians will have extra reasons to feel sunny during the Easter bank holiday weekend.

As well as getting a chance to join together with loved ones and stuff our faces with chocolate (if that's what you get up to at this time of year) we could also be in for a scorcher of a weekend too.

The Met Office forecast for the week ahead is pretty positive, but from Friday things are more than looking up, with sunshine spells and temperatures of 17C predicted by the experts.

According to the Met Office, this weekend will be a bit chilly but also pleasant, with average temperatures today of around 12C topped off with lots of sunshine and then it'll remain dry and bright throughout the week, though it'll hover between being cloudy and sunny.

A spell of rain could hit us on Tuesday afternoon, but that's predicted to be brief, and then from Thursday temperatures will rise to 15C.

And Good Friday is when we really get into the roll of the good weather, when we are set to enjoy better temperatures than Barcelona, where residents are set for rain and chilly conditions of 16C.

Temperatures are predicted to be 17C here throughout the weekend, with lots of sunshine too.

A long range Met Office forecast for the UK which covers Easter weekend states: "Many places will be dry and bright for the start of the period, with bright or sunny spells. The best of the sunshine will be in the west and northwest and it will most likely be warm for the time of year, but cold weather is still likely in the northeast.

"Thereafter, temperatures should rise to the seasonal average occasionally, and they could turn locally rather warm in the south and east."

It's almost taps aff time, Glasgow, almost.
