North of the border will be tumultuous at times with showers early this week, but avoid the worst storms of 60 mph and four inches of rain.

“Some of the coldest weather this season. To say the least, it’s probably snow that has covered some of the Scottish mountains,” said John Hammond, a former BBC and Met Office forecaster.
