Glasgow weather: City to see highs of 27C as temperatures soar making it hotter than France

The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning spanning across a period of three days.

From Sunday (July 17) until Monday (July 20), parts of England will see temperatures soaring to highs of 35C.

The amber warning for 'extreme heat' has not reached Scotland, however we will still see the sun next week where it will get pretty hot.

According to weather forecasters, Glasgow will reach highs of 23C on Sunday with Monday seeing even further highs of 26C. In addition, Tuesday will see highs of 27C whilst Wednesday (July 20) will dip slightly reaching 21C.

So if you are missing the feeling of stepping off the plane and being hit by the heat as the cabin doors open, then it may bring you some joy to know that we will soon match the temperatures of France and Greece.

And whilst we know being abroad and the sun is different to the heat we have here, we will take it. Because when else will we have this heat again?

A report by the Met Office reads that on Tuesday (July 19), Camaret-sur-Mer located in north-western France near Brest, will see highs of just 23C with heavy rain showers throughout the day. And for those living in Greece, locals and holidaymakers making their way to the stunning destination will see highs of 25C and 27C for areas including Thessaloniki and Chios on the same day.

Discussing the heatwave, the Met Office has said that many eastern areas of Scotland could see temperatures in excess of 25C in a few places, soaring well above their average for the time of year.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Tony Wardle explained: “Maximum temperatures have been well above average almost everywhere in the UK this week, the exception perhaps being the Western and Northern Isles of Scotland. Following a return to nearer average, locally rather cool temperatures over the next few days, the hot weather looks likely to steadily ramp up once again this weekend, peaking early next week.

“From Sunday, but more likely Monday and Tuesday, peak maximum temperatures are likely be in excess of 35°C, especially across central, southern and eastern England, with a chance of some locations being even hotter. Elsewhere, maxima will generally range from high 20s to low 30s of Celsius. This, coupled with overnight minima not falling below 20°C in many locations, has considerable potential to cause widespread societal impacts, which is behind the issue of an Amber Extreme heat warning.”
