THE weather in Scotland is set to improve dramatically next week after a period of gloomy conditions.
Over the last week and continuing into the weekend Scots experienced a cold snap, as the Met Office warned of plummeting temperatures.
Yet as we go into next week, temperatures are set to increase up to as much as 13C in places like Glasgow and Edinburgh.

It comes after much of the UK has seen “anticyclonic gloom” over the past week, causing dull skies, with some areas not having seen the sun in more than a week.
The predicted temperatures are well above February’s average, with 6C the usual monthly average in Scotland.
This will be a “noticeable shift” after the last fortnight which was below average, Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said.
More western areas are likely to see some rain during the week, while eastern areas are forecast to stay drier.
Meanwhile, some areas in Scotland could potentially see rain and snow at the beginning of next week before conditions improve.
Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said he did not expect any national records to be broken, but some areas could go 10 days without any sunshine, which is “near record-breaking”.
