Scotland is expected to be dry and sunny over the final two days of the long bank holiday weekend.
People across the UK have been treated to a four-day weekend this week as the country celebrates the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
And while it has been a mixed bag on the weather front for Scots so far, the latest forecast shows an improvement in the conditions for much of the country.
Met Office forecasters say that settled weather is on the cards for most of northern UK, with patchy cloud and sunny spells.
Scotland is expected to be among the driest areas of the UK over the weekend - avoiding thunderstorms, which have been forecast for the far south of England, where a yellow warning has been issued for Saturday.
Forecasters are anticipating much of Scotland experience some periods of prolonged sunshine during the weekend.
The best of the temperatures will be found in northern and western parts of the country, with the thermostat peaking at 20C in some areas over Saturday and Sunday.
Temperatures will peak into their mid to late teens elsewhere.
Met Office forecasters are keeping a close eye on a plume of warm air, which could bring an increased risk of thunderstorms.
However, experts anticipate the north and west of Scotland to see the best weather of anywhere in the UK into early next week.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Andy Page, said: “ This band of warm air continues to push further north across the UK there is a risk of more thunderstorms and heavy downpours on Sunday.
"We will be monitoring this risk and may need to issue another warning when the potential for impacts becomes clearer.
"Please keep an eye on the forecast for your area regularly for any updates.”
