GLASGOW is set to enjoy a sunny Bank Holiday Monday.

But the good weather is not expected to last as the rest of the week is predicted to be a washout.

Forecaster Tony Conlan, of Meteogroup, the weather arm of the Press Association, said the Monday would be a day to enjoy outdoors.

He said: "I know the general view is that Bank Holiday Mondays are always rainy and dull but this one is going to be quite a nice day.

"There might be some lingering overnight rain but the day itself will be one of sunshine and temperatures as high as 14 degrees.

"Not a bad day at all."

Many Scots have already had to dig out their umbrellas as rain swept through large swathes of the country yesterday and Saturday.

After a brief spell of sunshine on Tuesday, the week returned to late winter gloom and will stay that way from next Tuesday onwards.

Mr Conlan added: "It's going to be pretty woeful for much of the rest of the week.

"You can expect cloudy weather and heavy rain for Tuesday. Wednesday will be very windy and wet throughout most of the day.

"Thursday will be slightly better but still quite windy and things will ease off a little bit on Friday, although it will still be very cloudy.

"Temperatures will stay around the 11 and 12 degree mark, rising to 13 degrees on Friday.

"If there is any sunshine it will be joined by strong winds."
