Forecasters have warned that Glasgow will see a switch up in weather over the weekend, as the city experiences high temperatures and dry conditions over the coming days.
Meteorologists at BBC Weather have predicted that rain, thunder and possible lightning will hit the city of Glasgow by Sunday evening - with most of this due to the heatwave Scotland is experiencing.
According to the Met Office, thunderstorms are created by intense heating of the Earth's surface, they are most common in areas of the globe where the weather is hot and humid. With the constant high temperatures and humid conditions in Glasgow, a thunderstorm at the end is rather common.
