After weeks of high temperatures across the whole of the UK, those running low on sun cream may be glad to know that temperatures are due to drop this weekend.

Temperatures as high as 27.5C were recorded in the Aberdeen area over recent weeks, with locals flocking to the beaches to enjoy the sun.

Going into the weekend, there are warnings of extreme weather conditions down south, including rain and thunderstorms.

Despite this, weather across the north and north-east of Scotland is due to settle down.

After more than a week of high temperatures, the weekend ahead looks to be more like a July we’re used to up north.

Inverness

Locals in the Inverness area might need to keep their sun cream out for a little while longer.

Temperatures are due to drop a little this coming weekend, but not far below 18C.

Much like the past week, mornings are due to be warm but cloudy, but the sun is forecast to make an appearance with the afternoon, along with clear blue skies.

Warm weather is due to continue into next week, with temperatures of 19C expected on Monday and Tuesday.

However, the cloud is due to be more persistent moving into next week, with shorter sunny spells forecast.

There may be a few short showers as the week goes on, good news for any parched gardens in the area.

Aberdeen

Temperatures are due to sit at around 15C in Aberdeen on Saturday.

Blue skies may feel like a thing of the past as the area is forecast to be cloudy for most of the day, though the sun may peek through in the evening.

Sun lovers need not despair, as things should pick back up a little on Sunday, with temperatures forecast to be around 18 degrees.

The sun is also due to make more of an appearance on Sunday, with sunny spells expected for the majority of the day.

Temperatures are due to be around 17C, potentially reaching 18C.

Humidity may be high as cloud is forecast across the region, with intermittent sunny spells throughout the week.

There may even be a few rain showers from Tuesday onwards.
