Scotland will be left under a cloud as the rest of the UK and Europe enjoys a two-week heatwave.
Although temperatures are set to soar into the low thirties, folk north of the border will be left shivering in comparison.
The mercury will struggle to hit 20C and Scots hoping to top up their tan will be disappointed, with experts predicting significant cloud cover over the next few days.
The Met Office revealed that the best Scotland could expect is sunny spells, while London, the south east and the Midlands catch the most rays.
Forecasters have predicted that, for the south of the UK at least, the heatwave will last for most of the month.
Fortunately for Andy Murray, the outlook for the men’s Wimbledon final on Sunday is looking as good as his current performances, so he can expect a dry and warm day if he makes it through the next stages of the competition.
Compared to yesterday, however, the forecast for Tayside and Fife is significantly brighter and the temperatures are expected to reach highs of 18-19C.
As the weekend approaches, the weather will remain much the same tomorrow and Friday.
Saturday has been described as being warm and cloudy, apart from on the coast, with places like Carnoustie and Stonehaven seeing the best of the sun.
The temperature will peak at 20C on Sunday, but the sun will still struggle to make an appearance. The outlook for the start of next week is also grim for Scotland and has been described as “a bit showery and unsettled”.
A spokeswoman from the Met Office said: “Scotland is not going to get a heatwave, but it doesn’t look too bad.
“The temperatures are reasonable for this time of year and everywhere will see a bit of sunshine at some point.”
On the continent, holidaymakers can expect blazing sunshine.
In Spain, the outlook is bright and will hit highs of 39C, while in France it will be marginally cooler at 31C in some places and in Italy, temperatures will “plummet” to 23C in the north.
