Scots have embraced the summer weather as the country enjoyed another weekend of bright skies and soaring temperatures.
From Dumfries to Fort William, towns and city's saw the mercury pass 20C.
But temperatures remained just shy of the 24.5C in Stirling on Tuesday which marked the highest temperature of the year so far.
There is, however, a storm brewing off the coast of Portugal and western Spain which could reach the UK in the coming day.
The Spanish Met Office has now named the low-pressure system Storm Oscar.
Greg Dewhurst of the UK Met Office told the Scottish sun the weather system is expected to make landfall in the south of the UK by the weekend.
He added: “The high pressure which has been anchored over the UK for some time shows signs of moving closer to Scandinavia, which reduces our protection from Atlantic weather systems."
But there is still hope Scotland could keep the sunny conditions and the long-term forecast adds it is "more likely to hold onto drier conditions".
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
