This comes after temperatures rose this week, but as the weekend approaches, developments in the Atlantic Ocean will likely cause skies to become stormier.
From Friday 18 October, the weather will start to get wet. Although Friday will be mostly dry, strong winds will be felt in the north and west.
If you live in a coastal area, there may be an impact as we continue through the weekend. The Met Office has issued a Yellow National Severe Weather Warning for winds on Friday.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Jason Kelly said: “A period of strong southerly to southeasterly winds is likely across western Scotland on Friday morning into the afternoon, before easing and turning southwesterly throughout the afternoon.
“Gusts of 45-55mph are possible over a fairly wide period of time, and may exceed 60mph in more exposed locations. Given the wind direction and high tide, some disturbances are possible.”
Temperatures will be normal or slightly above average, but stormy weather is likely on Sunday.
