Glasgow weather as sleet and plummeting temperatures forecast across Scotland

Glasgow has been enjoying a sustained period of sunny skies and warm temperatures, and it's set to continue into the weekend according to the Met Office.

The forecaster states that Saturday and Sunday will both see plenty of sunshine, with clear skies expected across almost the entire weekend.

It's also expected to be another warm weekend, with peaks of 16 degrees Celsius forecast on both Saturday and Sunday.

Next week, though, the weather is set to turn a lot chillier and greyer.

In Glasgow, temperatures are expected to plummet in the second half of the week — with highs of just 7C and 8C on Wednesday and Thursday respectively and lows of 2C and 0C.

The sun will also be covered by a thick sheet of clouds throughout much of the week, which are expected to turn particularly dark on Thursday.

Taking a look at Scotland more broadly, fellow forecaster BBC Weather expects "sleet showers" and hail to fall in Edinburgh next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday as temperatures plummet to near-freezing.

It also predicts rain and drizzle will fall all day in Glasgow on Wednesday.

The Met Office's long-range forecast for the UK states: "A trend to showery and colder conditions is expected to take place from the north next week.

"Tuesday probably cloudier than of late with a chance of showers, these potentially wintry in the far northeast. A good deal of dry weather persisting in the south and west.

"From midweek a colder spell is likely to spread south from the north. Showers possible in all areas, with these most frequent in the north and east. Wintry showers remain possible, particularly in the north."
