Scotland's spell of sunny weather will continue into this week as temperatures are set to be hotter than Barcelona in some areas.
After temps hit a scorching 20.2C in Kinlochewe over the weekend, forecasters are predicting another blast of good weather this week.
The Met Office say the hottest day this week is likely to be Tuesday.
It's possible the warmer than average weather could reach 17C to 18C across Scotland and possibly up to 19C on Wednesday in Aberdeen.
Some areas will surpass temps in Barcelona, which will experience 14C on Tuesday according to weather.com.
Conditions will also be slightly colder in Madrid (13C) and Monaco (15C).
Met Office Richard Miles meteorologist told the Daily Record that "fairly consistent high teens" are broadly possible in Scotland on the 22nd.
Tuesday's weather is warmer than average for this period, the meteorologist confirmed.
Mr Miles said that the weather will shift from Thursday as the forecast becomes largely cloudier and cooler with odd showers ahead for the second half of the week, dipping to 13-14C.
There are also hopes that this warm spell lasts into next month, with odds for the warmest April on record tumbling.
The record high in March was recorded in 2012 as Aberdeen hit a scorching 23.6C.
Scotland's average maximum temperature in March is 7.6C.
