After an unsettled weekend, the weather forecast suggests a drier start to the week ahead.

According to the Met Office, Monday could bring some dry and crisp weather with sunny spells breaking through across parts of the country.

Chief Meteorologist, Matthew Lehnert, said: “We’ll see a transition in our weather across the UK through Sunday, with mild Atlantic air moving in from the west. Temperatures will rise and we’ll see rain rather than snow accompanying some strong gusty winds in the north. Warnings have been issued for heavy and persistent rain, as well as these strong winds overnight in western and northern Scotland.

“While the wintry weather may have come to an end, the significant snow accumulations in parts of Scotland mixed with heavy rainfall and an increase in temperatures bring a risk of flooding in some areas as the snow melts. Keep up to date with the flood warnings issued by SEPA and check your flood risk.”
