Inverclyde has been basking in some sun in recent days but how long is the good weather set to last?

With snow predicted across parts of Scotland next week, it doesn't look like we can pack away our cosy hats and gloves just yet.

If you were enjoying the warm spring weather, we recommend you make the most of this weekend before the snow falls next week. 

Here's what the BBC and the Met Office predict in the coming days to help you make the most of the glorious weather while it lasts.

How long will the good weather last in Inverclyde?

What does the BBC forecast?

Inverclyde is set for a sunny weekend with a chance of clouds and a light wind.

Temperatures are expected to reach highs of 14 degrees and lows of 5 with Saturday being the better day.

We can expect some light clouds at the beginning of the week but it will remain dry.

You should prepare for some hail showers overnight from 5 pm on Wednesday evening.

Unlike other parts of the country, it is not predicted to turn to snow with the end of next week finishing on a bright note with sunny intervals instead.

What does the Met Office say?

The Met Office has a similar outlook in its short-range forecast with the weather expected to be bright and sunny across the weekend.

However, its long-range forecast says that "wintry showers" are still very much on the cards.

The Met Office says: "Wintry showers remain possible, particularly in the north. Later next week and beyond, unsettled conditions are likely with more frequent showers or longer spells of rain for many areas.

"After a spell of below average temperatures next week, temperatures are likely to return to near average later in the period."

The long-range forecast says that the unsettled weather could continue into the beginning of April. 

The weather forecaster added: "Showers or longer spells of rain are more likely to be seen across the UK, although short drier and more settled interludes are still possible. Showers may be heavy at times, with thunder and hail.

"Moving into mid-April, there is a trend for a return to more settled weather again, although some rain and showers are still possible in places.

"Temperatures are likely to be near average, with the south and southeast on the slightly warmer side."
