SCOTLAND is set for the hottest day of the year so far this Bank Holiday Monday.

Temperatures are to soar up to 28C in some areas, while the west Highlands will be the hottest part of the country.

Glasgow is also set to experience its hottest day of the year so far. The city is prepared for temperatures of up to 24C in the middle of the afternoon.

The current heatwave brought the hottest day of the year yesterday with 26.8C recorded at Achnagart in the Highlands - though it looks like that temperature will be broken today.

STV weather presenter Sean Batty claims: "We are going to have another sunny and warm day for much of the country on Monday.

"I reckon we could touch 28C in parts of the west Highlands around Lochalsh and Wester Ross."

Thurderstorms are expected later in the week, but for now, enjoy!
