Glasgow weather: City set for sunny intervals as experts warn 'high level' of indoor pests

According to the BBC and the Met Office, Glasgow is for a dry and bright week.

Weather forecasters have said that from today, the city will have plenty of sunshine throughout the next few days as we head into the weekend.

And to make it even better, the chances of it raining are slim, though not impossible, with the levels of precipitation remaining under five per cent.

However whilst this is good news, other experts have said that people may notice an increase in indoor pests after a 'high' level warning was noted by Accuweather. The 'high' level means that the "risk for pest activity is high. Replacing outdoor lights with yellow bug lights can attract less insects near your home."

Forecasters explained: "Many weather factors will impact home invasion of insects and pests. Cooler temperatures, extreme dry weather will cause bugs to invade homes and become sluggish. Extreme rain will also cause some pests such as spiders, ants and roaches to enter homes looking for shelter."

For those wanting to avoid their home being invaded by the annoying creatures, they issued some tips to help saying: "Always keep food stored in airtight containers and keep counters free of crumbs. Use screens to prevent bugs from entering your home in warm weather when windows and patio doors are open. Replace outdoor lights with yellow bug lights to attract less pests near your home and garden. In extreme cases, use insect bait to capture bugs."

Discussing tonight's weather the BBC have said that "today will see plenty of sunny spells throughout, with just some patchy cloud moving through at times. It will remain dry for most, with just the outside chance of a light shower drifting in."

They add: "Tonight, it will be dry and clear, with little in the way of cloud for most. However, the odd patch of cloud may develop in places. A cool night under clear skies."

But what does the weather for the week ahead look like? Here's what the Met Office has predicted.
