Will Scotland get the sunshine back this week?

Although the weather in recent weeks has been unusually warm, sunny and - in some cases - record-breaking, the past few days have brought with them a decrease in temperatures and cloudy skies.

In the same area, expect some occasional bursts of sunshine on Wednesday, as well as some light showers and periods of cloud.

Thursday will then be brighter, with very little cloud, before things get cloudy again towards the weekend.
