Scotland set for warm spell with temperatures reaching mid‑20s this week

Scotland is expected to experience a brief warm spell over the next week. Temperatures are forecast to rise above 20 °C on Tuesday, with the low‑to‑mid‑20s expected across much of the country by Friday and the highest values up to 28 °C along the Moray coast, around Glasgow, the Borders and East Lothian. Sunshine will be intermittent; the east will be brightest on Wednesday, while Friday offers the best combination of heat and sun for southern and eastern Scotland. A weak front may bring scattered showers on Saturday, but high pressure is predicted to dominate next week, bringing more widespread sunshine and sustaining mid‑20s temperatures. The warm spell is not expected to extend beyond the following week as temperatures begin to ease.

The outlook suggests the warmth will be most pronounced in Perth, eastern Fife, Edinburgh, and the western regions, while cloud and occasional rain may persist in the Hebrides, Northern Isles and western Highlands.
