Scotland will bask in warm weather this weekend, with Friday and Saturday expected to be the hottest days of the year.
However, lockdown rules are still in force meaning we won't be able to freely frolic in the sunshine.
In a prediction for Glasgow, The Met Office said Friday, Saturday and Sunday would see "a dry spell of weather with long bright or sunny spells" with temperatures "becoming very warm during the afternoons".

Last week, Police Scotland sent officers to parks and beaches to move on sunbathers who were breaking social distancing regulations as temperatures soared to 23C in parts of the country.
Officers were seen at Glasgow's Botanic Gardens and Portobello Beach in Edinburgh.
Police Scotland told us it received several reports during the afternoon of Wednesday, 20 May, relating to crowds in the Botanic Gardens and Portobello beach.
Officers "engaged with members of the public" and did not issue any fines.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: “The Scottish Government’s guidance is clear: people should only leave the house for very limited purposes, for example for basic necessities, such as food and medicine, for exercise, for medical needs or travelling for work which cannot be done at home.
“Our officers will continue to engage with the public, explain the legislation, encourage compliance and will use enforcement only when necessary.”
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
