Parts of Scotland could join 13 other UK areas that have already hit heatwave criteria.
Parts of the UK have already exceeded heatwave conditions for the first time since June and Scotland is set to join them. Previous reports predicted highs of 26C for Scotland on Wednesday, but forecasters are now saying this could rise further to 27C.
“An active tropical cyclone season in the North Atlantic is helping to amplify the pattern across the North Atlantic, and has pushed the jet stream well to the north of the UK, allowing some very warm air to be drawn north. It’s a marked contrast to the much of meteorological summer, when the UK was on the northern side of the jet stream with cooler air and more unsettled weather.”
"There’s a chance the thunderstorm risk to western areas from Friday onwards may require a warning response, with some potentially impactful downpours, though exact details on the likely positioning of these downpours are still being determined.”
