Temperatures will stay around 5C-7C this weekend before the heat arrives. Come Monday, Scots will start to feel things warming up. The mercury will hit 16C on Monday before soaring to 20C on Tuesday afternoon. It will get even hotter on Wednesday, with the peak of the week will be in Inverness, with a predicted temperature of 21C. The heat will then move south and bring the 21C scorcher down towards Argyll and Bute. Things will get a bit cooler towards the end of the week as colder air moves in from the east and lowers the temperature to the high teens. And in a rare bit of weather joy for Scots, the warm temperatures will be spread across the country. Weather maps site WXCHARTS has shown the warm weather spreading across the country next week. A Met Office spokesperson said: "There's a small chance that fine and very warm weather could extend right across the country early next week, but it's more likely that cloud and rain in the northwest will sink southeast introducing more changeable and cooler conditions for a time-mid-week. Huge wildfire erupts in Lanarkshire as flames visible for miles "It then becomes roughly equal chance that we see a resumption of mainly fine and dry conditions versus a continuation of more changeable weather with a mixture of rain and drier interludes." It comes as Scotland enjoyed some warmer temperatures throughout April. Revellers flocked to beaches and parks throughout the Easter holidays to soak up the sun. But the heat sparked horrific wildfires across the country, with entire hillsides burning as a result. The heat saw fire chiefs issue urgent warnings for people not to use open flames in the event they sparked a major blaze.
