Looking to the week ahead, the national forecaster says things will take a summery turn starting on Wednesday.Next week's forecast reads: "Tuesday will be rather cloudy, with outbreaks of rain and drizzle.

Drier and brighter on Wednesday and Thursday, with just a few showers possible. Temperatures rising, feeling much warmer."Met Office meteorologist Steve Willington explained: "For the latter half of next week, there are some signals of a shift in the jet stream which may allow for high pressure to build in for southern areas of the UK, increasing the likelihood of some drier weather for a time."BBC Weather Scotland echoed the good news, adding that next week will be largely dry and a little warmer with some sunshine.The service tweeted: "It'll not be a very prolonged spell of very warm and sunny weather, however, it looks a lot more settled than of late."Any light showers during the evening will continue to die out, then dry during the night with clear periods.
