According to WXCharts, there doesn't seem to be a drop of rain in sight across the bank holiday weekend - or on the bank holiday day itself.
The Met Office says: "Most likely an unsettled start to the week with period of showers in the west and perhaps longer periods of rain in the northeast, although still some settled weather in between.
"Into the new week increasingly settled conditions are more likely for most, though rain may threaten north-western areas whilst some southern or eastern areas occasionally less settled with showers more likely later in the period though there will be some sunshine between them, the best of this in south-western parts.
"Temperatures are likely to be a little above average, but some large spatial differences are likely."
Scotland could spot Northern Lights this week as solar display predicted
It's not just the bank holiday we need to talk about - Scots have been urged to look to the skies this week as the Northern Lights may be visible this week.
The Met Office Space Weather forecast has noted that while no "significant activity" is expected this weekend, there may be availability for some sightings this week. Forecasters have noted that an "enhancement to the aurora" may occur on Monday night (May 20) due to the "possible arrival of a coronal mass ejection (CME)" that left the Sun on Friday evening.
