Rain, thunder and snow barrelling toward Scotland in spell of stormy weather

Scotland's weekend showers are set to continue into next week as weather maps show thunderstorms and snow approaching.

As for the Met Office, the national forecaster predicts sunny spells and blustery showers on Monday. The weather will be "heavy with hail and the odd rumble of thunder" with temperatures feeling cooler. There is hope yet for better weather. As reported by The Mirror, a second bout of warmer weather could be en route as maps show a high-pressure system moving in by next weekend.

Maps from WXCharts indicate the mercury could reach 17C on the west coast next Sunday April 21. Scots on the coast in Aberdeenshire could feel the warmest weather with those in Edinburgh experiencing 15C temperatures. "What happens there after, well the low-pressure system that is affecting us through the latter part of the weekend and the start of next week, by the time we get to Tuesday, that is going to have shifted away towards Scandinavia and then we see high pressure building from the west.

The Met Office's forecast for Thursday April 18 to Saturday April 29 reads: "Through the weekend and into the new week a build of pressure will probably occur, meaning more in the way of dry weather across the UK as a whole. Some rain of light showers will still be possible at times, if these develop they will be more likely to affect the northwest."
