Sean Batty has, this morning, highlighted how signs of more frequent, settled, and warmer spells are set to roll in as of next week.

And as if that wasn’t enough to set you running to stock up the fridge with summer goodies, the outlook across Scotland for the rest of the month looks like it will be just as positive.
