As the heatwave is in full blast here in Scotland, it’s still far from over, with most of the week looking pretty warm. As a result, parts of Scotland hit temperatures as high as 31 degrees, and the UK broke temperature records for the hottest May day – temperatures hit 35 degrees in both Heathrow and Kew Gardens.
Here in Glasgow, we are still looking at sunny 25 degrees on Thursday, May 28, before getting some cooler days dropping to 18 degrees starting from Friday, May 29.
June forecast is bringing a “more changeable period” to Scotland
According to The Met Office’s long-range forecast, Scotland and the UK is set for a cooler June following the record-breaking heatwave. It looks like we should expect unsettled weather, with periods of rain, especially in the West. However, temperatures are set to remain normal for the time of year, with no heatwaves predicted so far.
In their May 31 – June 9 forecast for the UK, The Met Office said: “A more changeable period than we have seen of late, as Atlantic weather systems move in from the west to bring a mixture of drier spells and some showers, or longer spells of rain at times. The rain will likely be heaviest in parts of the west and northwest, with the best of the drier conditions more likely towards the south and east. Temperatures will be near-normal overall, with the warmest spots most likely across eastern areas. It will also be breezy at times, most especially across northwestern areas.”
And the June 10 – 24 forecast stated: “Probably changeable or unsettled at first with Atlantic frontal systems bringing showers or longer spells of rain at times. From mid-month, high pressure may begin to become more dominant with conditions becoming dry and more settled, although some showery interludes are still possible. Temperatures are expected to be near normal at first, but probably rising above average later.”
