Scotland is set to roast in the spring heat this afternoon, according to the latest weather forecast.
The Met Office is anticipating temperatures to climb into the mid-teens across large parts of the north and west of the country.
Thermostats could even climb further, with some places in the Highlands potentially reaching 20C later this afternoon.
But a brisk breeze could result in the feels-like temperature to climb down a touch.
And the sunshine is expected to stay across large parts of Scotland tomorrow, with temperatures dipping just slightly compared to today.
Here is everything we know so far.

Forecast for Sunday
The warm sunshine is expected to continue across the west and north of Scotland on Sunday, according to the Met Office.
While the temperatures are forecast to remain above average for this time of year, it is expected to be slightly cooler than Saturday.
Many east coast areas of Scotland are forecast to struggle to reach double figures tomorrow.
Met Office Meteorologist Alex Deakin explains: “Sunday will be a little cloudy in the east, with a bit more cloud bubbling up through the day.
“The risk of a little bit of mist at times and with the stronger breeze coming in from the east, it will feel chillier.
“Temperatures will be a few degrees down but they could easily pop up to 16, 17 and maybe 18 Celsius across the Highlands.
“Temperatures in Edinburgh and east coast will only reach nine of 10 celsius on Sunday.”
