After last week's predominantly grey and cloudy weather in Edinburgh, things are set to pick up a bit.
Ahead of the snow forecasted later this month, things will cool down slightly this week.
The weather will also vary widely from day to day, with rain, clouds and sun all expected in the city throughout the week ahead.

According to BBC Weather, there will be patches of clear and sunny skies amidst wetter weather.
Here's the forecast for the week ahead in Edinburgh.
Monday
BBC Weather states that on Monday, Edinburgh will see "sunny intervals and a moderate breeze".
Clouds will hang over the city for the entire day, but the sun will peek out occasionally throughout the early and mid afternoon.
Temperatures will peak around 1pm at 8 degrees Celsius, before tailing off and eventually hitting lows of 2C throughout the night.
Tuesday
The cold weather will continue into Tuesday morning, and Edinburgh will remain below 5C until around 10am before rising throughout the day and eventually hitting a peak of 9C at 10pm.
The city will be covered in clouds for the entire day, with no sunny intervals predicted by BBC Weather.
The forecaster expects light rain to pick up at 2pm, and hang around until 6pm, after which light clouds will hang over the capital for the rest of the night.
Wednesday
Like Monday, BBC Weather expects that Edinburgh will see "sunny intervals and a moderate breeze" on Wednesday.
Following a morning of drizzle and light rain, the sun will begin to peek through the clouds for most of the morning before coming out in full force around 1pm.
The city will enjoy around two hours of clear and bright skies before the clouds start to return around 3pm, where they will remain for the rest of the day.
Temperatures look to be relatively mild, hovering around 7C, though it will be another night that approaches freezing.
Thursday
Thursday is set to be the coldest day of the week, with the chilly weather from the night before hanging around for much of the day.
Temperatures will hit freezing in the early morning, rising gradually over the next few hours to a peak of 4C, before dipping slightly to 3C for the remainder of the day.
It looks to be another day of sunny intervals in the capital, but unlike Wednesday clear skies are not expected at any point.
Friday
Friday will be a grey day in Edinburgh, with no sign of the sun in sight.
"Light clouds and a moderate breeze" will hang over the city for the entire day, though the chance of rainfall remains mercifully low.
It will also be significantly warmer than Thursday, with temperatures peaking at 8C.
