TRSNMT weekend set to be hotter than Tenerife as temperatures soar to 28C
Those who have been counting down the days until TRNSMT will be happy to hear that they will be able to enjoy listening to a variety of their favourite artists in the glorious sunshine this weekend as mercury levels are set to rise as high as 28C.
Predicted to be hotter than Tenerife, residents of Glasgow and those travelling in for the festival, which takes place from July 11 to July 13, will need to make sure they stay hydrated and slathered in sun cream as the city is hit with a mini heatwave.
While the summer holidays haven't gotten off to the best start, with patches of rain and wild winds hitting the country, all this is expected to take a turn as Scots should enjoy some warm and dry weather this weekend.
During this scorcher of a weekend, big names such as The Script, Jade, Snow Patrol, Gracie Abrams and 50 Cent are set to take the stage at Glasgow Green.
For music fans descending into Glasgow on Friday, the Met Office predicts that temperatures will soar up to 26C with sunny spells.
On Saturday, temperatures are set to sizzle at 28C before dropping back down to 26C on Sunday as the festival comes to an end - with the weather being partly cloudy at night.
This is a stark contrast to last year's event, where music fans had to compete with the wild wind to hear their favourite artists.
Instead, Scots will feel as though they are on their holidays as the city is set to be hotter than the Canary Islands hotspot of Tenerife - which is predicted to stay at a steady 22C this weekend.
Glasgow isn't the only part of Scotland to be hit with the heat, Edinburgh is also set to see highs of 28C on Saturday, while Aberdeen will enjoy 23C.
In their long range forecast, which is set for July 11 to July 20, the Met Office says: "Many parts of the UK are expected to be part way through a period of high temperatures and humidity at the start of this period.
"The duration, geographical extent and intensity of the heat are all rather uncertain at present, but there is the potential for some very hot weather to be realised, especially across some inland southern and eastern areas.
"With this also comes the possibility of thunderstorms, in part because of the high temperatures, but also in association with any frontal systems moving in from the west, which would ultimately usher in cooler and fresher conditions.
"Towards the latter part of the period, northwestern areas stand a greater chance of experiencing rather more changeable conditions, with drier and occasionally hotter spells more likely further southeast."
To help tackle the heat at TRNSMT, festival goers are able to bring in handheld fans, small travel-size sun cream, sun glasses and 500ml water bottles that can be filled up at the variety of water stations placed around the site.
However, it should be noted that soft collapsible water bottles and folding pouches are permitted on site and that they need to be empty on arrival. Music fans won't be allowed to bring in hard plastic, glass or metal bottles.
For those looking for a water bottle to bring to TRNSMT, Amazon is selling a collapsible water bottle for £14.99. Made with food grade silicone, this spill free bottle can expand to 21.5cm when full and folds down to 11.5cm when empty.
In terms of fans, Amazon is also selling the HandFan Portable Handheld Fan for £21.99. As a 2-in-1 device, shoppers will be able to cool down in an instant with the fan that has three wind speeds, while also being able to use the device as a power bank if their phone is in need of an emergency charge.

Police have ‘proportionate and considered' plan ahead of Glasgow Kneecap gig
Kneecap were axed from the line-up of TRNSMT in the city amid a row over an investigation by counter-terror police into rapper Mo Chara, who is accused of terrorism offences related to a Hezbollah flag he allegedly held up on stage. The satirical Belfast rap group, who perform in Irish, have been outspoken critics of the war in Gaza and said the prosecution – following an investigation by the Met Police – is linked to their views on Palestine. TRNSMT cancelled Kneecap's performance at the end of May over safety concerns by Police Scotland. On Tuesday, they are set to perform a sold-out gig at the O2 Academy in Glasgow, days before TRNSMT begins on Friday. As well as Kneecap, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar are also performing in Glasgow on Tuesday. Police Scotland say they will aim to minimise disruption in the city. In May, First Minister John Swinney urged for TRNSMT to cancel the performance on July 11, saying that 'organisers of TRNSMT have got to consider that issue.' Mo Chara, also known as Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged under the name Liam O'Hanna by the Metropolitan Police in May, over the alleged display of a Hezbollah flag at a gig, and appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. The furore led to calls from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch for Glastonbury to cancel a performance from the Belfast rappers on June 28, which the festival organisers did not do. Despite being cancelled from TRNSMT, Kneecap are still due to perform scheduled shows at 2000trees rock festival on July 10, Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on August 15 and Belfast Vital on August 29 – nine days after O hAnnaidh's next court appearance. At the last hearing, prosecutor Michael Bisgrove said: 'It's not about Mr O hAnnaidh's support for the people of Palestine or his criticism of Israel. 'He's well within his rights to voice his opinions and solidarity, as is anybody else. 'The allegation in this case is a wholly different thing and deals with a video recording showing that, in November of last year, Mr O hAnnaidh wore and displayed the flag of Hezbollah, a proscribed terrorist organisation, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah'.' Kneecap have said they have 'never supported' Hamas or Hezbollah, which are banned in the UK. Superintendent Paul Douglas said: 'We are aware of a number of events and concerts due to take place in the Greater Glasgow area in the week beginning Monday July 7 2025. 'A proportionate and considered policing plan is in place within the city and we are working with a number of stakeholders to ensure the safety of all those attending these events and where possible minimise disruption to the people of Glasgow.'

Exact date UK to be hotter than Barbados as Met Office declares new heatwave
The Met Office anticipates highs of 32C this week as forecasters understand conditions will meet the official threshold for an official second heatwave in quick succession The UK will be warmer than Barbados on Friday - with the mercury expected to hit 32C. The Met Office has declared another heatwave is on its way with temperatures staying warm for some time. This period will envelope Friday, the hottest day of this run, when the mercury will likely reach 32C across the South East of England and parts of the East of England. But it will only be 28C and 29C across Barbados, more than 4,000 miles from London. Weather maps also show a band of low pressure looming to the south of the British Commonwealth nation and, though the downpours won't hit Barbados until Saturday, conditions will be cloudy and breezy on Friday. It will be some contrast to the blue skies expected here on Friday. Scorching 30C temperatures are anticipated as far north as West Yorkshire, and as far west as Shropshire. While it will be sunny across south Wales, it is expected to be 28C - on par with Barbados in the Caribbean. Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Holley, of the Met Office, said: "High pressure from the Atlantic will gradually exert its influence over the UK this week. We'll see temperatures build day-on-day, with the potential for hot conditions to become quite widespread by the end of the week and into the weekend. "On Wednesday, temperatures could reach up to 28°C in parts of England, climbing to 30°C on Thursday and 32°C by Friday. By this stage, heatwave criteria are likely to be met in parts of England and Wales, and in parts of Scotland over the weekend. "High temperatures are likely to persist into the weekend, especially away from coasts with onshore winds, reaching the low 30s in portions of England and Wales, and accompanied by rising humidity and warmer nights. "This heatwave is likely to last longer than previous ones so far this summer, and affect a wider area, with the focus for some of the highest temperatures displaced across more central and western areas at times. In addition, pollen and UV levels will also be very high in some areas." While the heatwave will last longer than the previous one, it won't be quite as warm. During the hot blast last month, the mercury rocketed to 35C following the formation a "heat dome" in Europe. It send plumes of hot air our way and, as a result, authorities warned Brits across the South East of England to stay indoors. And as temperatures here start rising again from tomorrow, a jump is likely from Monday's peak of 24.9C recorded in Pershore, Worcestershire. The Met Office understands the Southwest of England will see the warmest weather until Friday's drastic change.
