Rain, thunder and a touch of the white stuff are all set to hit Scotland this week.
Scots are being urged to brace for a weather transformation as forecasters have revealed when the country will be hit with snow and heavy rain and thunder.
The stark shift in conditions is thanks to a bout of low pressure migrating from the Arctic which is set to reach Scotland by Tuesday. As well as dropping temperatures, which will "struggle" to stay in the low teens, this front is to bring heavy rain which could fall as snow in mountain areas located above 600m.
This low pressure will be accompanied by a band of rain that is to spread south and eastwards through the day, allowing for some northern parts of Scotland to briefly clear up. But colder weather will become widespread later that evening "with a risk of blustery, heavy showers". "Now that cold air continues to dive south and eastwards through the night on Tuesday night into Wednesday and this occluded front brings the focus of some quite heavy showers through Wednesday morning. And those showers could fall as snow over the high ground of Scotland, which is not that typical for early summer but isn't completely unusual.The Met Office maps show temperatures reaching a much colder 10C in the far north, while the rest of Scotland will see highs of 14C.
