BBC and Met Office predict when Scotland's good weather to last before Arctic blast

Scotland's spate of good weather has ushered in spring in spectacular fashion, but forecasters have predicted exactly when it could end.

The weather bested conditions in Barcelona on Tuesday - even reaching 20.2C in Kinlochewe on Saturday.

There's been a good run of warm, sunny days, which are all the more remarkable given, well, it's Scotland.

As a matter of fact, the Met Office and BBC have predicted the exact day the tide will turn.

An Arctic blast is expected to burst our collective bubble, Wales Online reported.

BBC Weather forecaster Simon King told BBC Radio 5 Live listeners: "How long is this warm weather going to last? Well, probably until around about Monday, Tuesday next week."

"Because then onwards actually it's going to get much colder. In fact it will feel like freezing this time next week with cold Arctic air moving its way in," he explained.

"So, if you like the warmer weather, enjoy it while you can over the next few days."

Showery and cooler conditions are arriving from the start of next week, the Met Office says.

From Monday, conditions could even be wintry over northern hills and far northeast.

Met Office five day forecast

This evening and tonight

Clear skies for most, allowing frost and a few fog patches to form later in the night. Turning cloudier in the far northwest with a little light rain later in places.

Thursday

Early fog patches soon clearing then fine with plenty of warm sunshine for most, though an isolated afternoon shower is possible in the northeast. Generally cloudier in the northwest.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday

Warm sunny spells each day for most, cooler near coasts. Chilly overnight with early morning fog patches, potentially lingering for some coasts. Far north cloudier with some light rain.

Still settled for many at the start of next week but a trend to showery and colder conditions is expected to take place from the north from Monday.

Showers will likely be focused on northern and eastern areas, potentially wintry over northern hills and at lower levels in the far northeast.

A good deal of dry weather persisting in the south and west. Potential for strong winds in the far northeast early in the period.

Later next week and beyond, more unsettled conditions are likely with more frequent showers or longer spells of rain for many areas.

After a spell of below average temperatures next week, temperatures are likely to return to near average later in the period.
