Scots are set to be lashed with up to two months' rain to wash away the lockdown heatwave, forecasters predict.
Around five inches will fall across the UK with gusts of up to 50mph hitting parts in coming weeks.
The country has been basking in high temperatures through this month but the Met Office say this will come to an end.
At the end of one of the hottest ever Aprils, highs will fall 10C to 12C for most by Tuesday, following 18C highs across the weekend in Scotland.
Snow will is even predicted to fall on some tall Scottish mountains this week.
A jet stream from across the Atlantic is bringing colder and wetter weather with it.
While Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna told the Daily Star : “Big changes are in store. A more active jet stream will introduce low pressure dominance from the North Atlantic.
“There will be rain for many and we will lose the sunshine as it turns cooler.”
The Met Office forecast predicts a band of cloud and rain outbreaks starting today and moving north.
From Wednesday to Friday we can expect "remaining unsettled and mostly cloudy with showers or longer spells of rain." while "temperatures remain slightly cooler than average".
From Friday to May 10, the forecasters say: "the unsettled theme is likely to continue as Atlantic weather systems bring further bands of rain across to many areas, particularly in the south and the west of the UK.
"Towards the end of this period, although confidence is low, there are some signs that more settled conditions may return."
