Glaswegians have been told to “look out the flip flops” next week as the city and its surround areas are in for a mini heatwave.

Meteorologist and STV weatherman Sean Batty has brought some much-needed good news to his 133,000 Twitter followers regarding next week’s outlook.

He said: “Look out the flip flops, especially if you’re in west. Looking good next week.”

And, as if that wasn’t enough, he added: “I reckon somewhere on northwest coast could get close to 20C.”

BBC’s weather outlook has backed-up the comments by providing its own insight.

Glasgow Times:

The sun looks set to burst out from behind the clouds to bring us temperatures close to 17C.

We’re stocking up on the sunscreen as we speak.
