It may well be a day for 'taps aff' and 'bbq's oot' on Friday, with the sun forecast to shine brightly throughout on the west coast of Scotland.
While the temperature is set to reach 17C this afternoon (Thursday), tomorrow may be the best day to make the most of the sunshine, with 20C of heat forecast for the middle of the afternoon.
In the Spanish capital, Madrid, locals may have to put their hats and scarves on, with the temperature to reach a lowly 13C.
Meanwhile, across Renfrewshire, the sun is expected to shine in the sky from first thing in the morning, right through until 7pm at night, when cloudy spells may begin.
