Thunderstorms to rage in Scotland as scorching 40C heatwave could hit in weeks

Thunderstorms are set to rumble over Scotland

Thundery showers and some localised flooding is expected to hit parts of the UK, including Scotland, ahead of a scorching 40C heatwave.

Heavy rain is set to hit Scotland and northern parts of England, bringing with it fresher and cooler conditions. However, the UK is predicted to return to hot weather as 2023 is on track to have the hottest June on record since 1884 - and July is also looking pretty sweltering as well. "Once that high pressure subsided, warm, humid air took charge over the UK, with 32.2C the highest temperature recorded so far this month and high temperatures for the vast majority of the UK."

However, there is set to be a north/south divide when it comes to the temperature in Scotland - with the north seeing highs of 19C and the south rising to 26C.
