When the warmer weather will return to Scotland as experts reveal heatwave prediction
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTS are still recovering from last weekend's deluge of torrential downpours and thunderstorms, which caused flooding chaos over the last few days. Parts of the country saw two weeks' worth of rain fall in just one hour as extreme weather gripped the nation. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Heavy rain has battered Scotland over the last few days Credit: Alamy 5 And it caused flooding chaos on Scotland's roads 5 Some railway lines were left completely submerged in water 5 And it has left many hoping to see another heatwave over summer Credit: Alamy The Met Office issued three back-to-back yellow warnings that lasted from Friday through to Tuesday, and on Monday SEPA issued a total of 16 flood alerts and three flood warnings. Forecasters warned there was a chance of fast-flowing or deep floodwater as thunderstorms posed 'a danger to life'. The torrential rain was so severe in some areas that roads and rail lines were left completely submerged, and in other places some locals were forced to use paddleboards to get around towns. So it's no wonder that many Scots will be hoping to see some more sunshine now that we're at the peak time of summer. And what better way to get over a soggy end to July than to start August with a sizzling heatwave? With that in mind, weather experts have looked ahead to see what weather we can expect next month and have revealed their predictions on if there is another heatwave on the horizon. Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern told the Daily Record that there currently isn't another heatwave on the cards for Scots. BBC forecasters have also ruled out any hopes of heatwave conditions this week as they shared their latest forecast. Weather presenter Joy Dunlop revealed that we can expect warm but cloudy weather with some light rains in some areas today and tomorrow. She said: "A more settled day of weather to come as high pressure builds in the west. It's a mild start again this morning. Four dead after cases of rare flesh-eating bacteria spike in US vacation hotspot – all swimmers need to use caution "A cloudy one, with early showers in the north-west Highlands, to light rain and drizzle in the south east. "Plenty of early brightness in the south west, but that won't last as cloud fills for most of the day, sunshine in short supply. "Still feeling warm over central and southern spots with highs of 21C and 22C, cooler in the north with a north-westerly wind and more of a breeze developing there. "Tonight, for many, will stay dry and cloudy. We do have more on-the-move clear spells developing, and cloud could be thick enough for some light rain and drizzle almost anywhere but especially in the north. "Another mild, humid night to come with generally light winds. What needs to happen for Scotland to officially experience a heatwave? THERE is certain criteria that the Scottish weather needs to meet before it offically becomes a heatwave. Experts at the Met Office have revealed that in the UK, a location needs to record three days above a 'temperature threshold' for it to be official. This threshold is calculated using the average daily maximum temperature on July 15 between 1991 and 2020 - and varies across the country depending on where it is. For Scotland, the threshold is 25C. This means that for the country to officially experience a heatwave, the mercury levels must be 25C or higher for at least three consecutive days. The highest temperature ever recorded in Scotland was 34.8C. This was measured at Charterhall in the Scottish Borders during a heatwave on July 19 back in 2022. Heatwaves are usually caused by high-pressure systems and are common in the UK during the summer. This is because of the position of the jet stream during these months. "Tomorrow will bring more in the way of sunshine and particularly latterly in the west. "Cloud lingering for some, and that could produce some light rain and drizzle at times, but it will be feeling that wee bit warmer." However, that doesn't mean that things won't heat up in the coming weeks. According to weather maps, things are set to turn a corner on August 1, with parts of the country to see temperatures reach as high as 23C on this date. Data from WXCharts shows that by 6pm, the mercury levels could climb into the low-20s before dropping slightly to 20C. And on August 2, it could still remain at a lovely 18C around the mid-afternoon into the early evening. The Met Office's long-range forecast for July 27 until August 5 states that those in the south and east will have the best chance of seeing sunshine. It states: "A weather regime dominated by westerly winds is likely at first. "While showers or longer spells of rain will remain possible for all parts early in the period, the focus of wet weather will likely increasingly be focused across the west and northwest, especially over hills where rain could be prolonged. "The highest chance of drier and sunnier weather is expected to the east of hills, and across south and eastern areas. There is a chance of some very warm or hot spells developing later in August if high pressure wins out for a decent stretch of time Met Office long-range forecast "Later in the period, if high pressure builds into the southwest, settled weather may develop there too. It will be breezy at times, especially in further north. "Temperatures are most likely to be near to average or slightly above average for the time of year." But the weather service revealed that things could heat up in the middle of the month with a chance of "some very warm or hot spells" to come. It's forecast for August 6 until August 20 states: "A changeable westerly pattern will likely continue through into the start of August, with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days. "There are signs that high pressure to the southwest may try to extend its influence across the UK, which could bring more in the way of dry, settled weather as we head further into August. "Temperatures will likely continue to be near or above average overall. "There is a chance of some very warm or hot spells developing later in August if high pressure wins out for a decent stretch of time, especially in the south and east."

Scots urged to take shorter showers amid ‘extremely low' water supplies – are you affected?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTS have been urged to take shorter showers in a bid to save scarce water supplies amid a record dry spell. Residents of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull have been encouraged to take the drastic action to keep the critical resource from running dry. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Tobermory on the Isle of Mull 2 Locals have been encouraged to take shorter showers Scottish Water issued guidance to use water as efficiently as possible in homes, businesses and gardens and help the utility to protect resources and maintain normal supplies across the burgh. It comes after the driest start to the year across Scotland since 1964, with only 59% of the long-term average rainfall from January to April. The company said water demand has increased further during the recent dry weather in Scotland, particularly in the past week in Tobermory. The company said: 'We are urging everyone in Tobermory to use water efficiently to help maintain normal supplies during this exceptionally dry period - the driest start to the year since 1964. 'Water use has surged, and storage tanks are now at low levels. "Our teams are working round the clock and bringing in tankers from Oban to support the network. 'Operational teams have also found a burst on the A848 and will work repair this as quickly as possible to maintain network resilience.' It is urging locals, visitors and businesses on Tobermory to use water efficiently in the garden and outdoor spaces by using a watering can instead of a garden hose where possible and avoiding using sprinklers It also wants locals to take shorter showers, turn the tap off when brushing teeth and use washing machines and dishwashers only when fully loaded. They added that using a bucket and sponge rather than a hose to wash the car would be preferable. Scotland hit by flooding chaos as thunderstorms leave roads & rail lines completely under water Ross Barclay, Scottish Water's operations team manager, said the company was working hard to maintain normal supplies. He said: 'We are asking customers and businesses to use water as wisely as possible while we deal with this pressing issue. 'Water is always worth saving and by taking simple steps to reduce the volume used around businesses, at home and in the garden we can make our water go even further and help maintain normal supplies.'

UK weather: Brits brace for more thunder and heavy rain as 18 flood alerts and Met Office yellow warning still in place
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Brits can expect even more thunder and heavy rain as 18 flood alerts and a Met Office yellow weather warning are still in place. It means heavy rain could cause flooding and travel disruption. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Many cars struggled to get through flooded roads after the rain Credit: Eamonn and James Clarke 7 Motorists on the A46 near Coventry during rain showers on the weekend Credit: PA 7 The rain didn't stop punters on the River Cam in Cambridge Credit: Bav Media 7 Londoners were improvising to shelter from the heavy rainfall Credit: w8media Yellow warnings for thunderstorms cover parts of Scotland today. The rest of the country will see a more mixed picture of sunny spells and scattered showers, with the rain continuing until the evening. Some 18 flood alerts are in place following the downpour. Most are in Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, and Nottingham. Meteorologist Tom Morgan suggested that temperatures will remain high in places despite the adverse weather conditions. He said: 'Tuesday is not looking as unsettled. The showers won't be quite as widespread or indeed as heavy as they have been. 'Nonetheless, there will be some showers or longer spells of rain for Scotland in particular, the west, (and) northwestern parts of England as well. 5-Day forecast Today: Rain across western Scotland eases through the day. Elsewhere a mixture of sunny spells and scattered, possibly thundery showers, mainly in the east later. Feeling warm in any sunny spells but cooler where rain and showers persist. Tonight: Light rain and drizzle in the far north and northwest at first with showers easing elsewhere with the odd isolated one persisting. Clear spells developing overnight. Wednesday: Scattered showers in the west with patchy rain and drizzle elsewhere. Showers becoming widespread for Wales and central and southern England, again possibly thundery. Feeling warm in sunny spells. Thursday to Saturday: Turning much drier for many on Thursday away from the southeast. Patchy rain returns in the west on Friday, but brighter and warmer in the east. 'But many parts of England and Wales (will be) actually getting away with a fairly reasonable day with some dry periods. 'And if the sunshine does break through that cloud at times, well, we might see temperatures reach 24C or 25C.' It comes after four weather warnings were in place across the country yesterday. This means the stormy weather is a "danger to life". Heavy rainfall means flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures Homes and businesses are likely to be flooded, and some communities will be cut off by flooded roads. There may also be delays and some cancellations to train and bus services, along with power cuts. The forecaster added: "If you find yourself outside and hear thunder, protect yourself by finding a safe enclosed shelter(such as a car). Do not shelter under or near trees, or other structures which may be struck by lightning. If you are on an elevated area move to lower ground." Chief Meteorologist, Andy Page, said: 'A band of very heavy rain will pivot over Northern Ireland during Sunday night, bringing totals of possibly 50-75 mm in just a short period of time. "This high intensity rainfall can lead to flooding, with impacts on properties, transport networks and power outages. 'The heavy rain comes at the start of a new working week so expect disruption to the Monday morning commute and check the flood risk in your area to protect your property.' 7 Members of the public are caught in heavy the rain in Easton, central London Credit: LNP 7 People using umbrellas whilst walking in the rain on Westminster Bridge, in London Credit: PA
