Temperatures here will be closer to the seasonal average and Scots could face unsettled conditions with wind and rain as the storms moves in to the UK on Saturday.
The majority of Scotland is expected to miss out on a heatwave set to hit the rest of the UK as Storm Dexter moves in.
The Mirror reports that the Met Office has warned that Tropical Storm Dexter will arrive on Saturday night after travelling from the east of the USA across the Atlantic and will bring “unseasonably hot” weather with it.
Temperatures in eastern Scotland could peak around 23-24C, but with more cloud and a stronger breeze across northwestern Scotland, temperatures here will be closer to the seasonal average and could face unsettled conditions with wind and rain.
However, England and Wales should expect a scorcher of a week.
According to the Met Office, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dexter will draw warm air from the southwest across the UK. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has even issued a yellow heat health warning for a large part of the country starting Monday. as the hot weather front approaches.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Steven Keates, said: “We’re confident that temperatures will increase markedly by the start of next week, reaching the low 30s Celsius in parts of England on Monday and perhaps the mid 30s in a few places on Tuesday.
“However, the length of this warm spell is still uncertain, and it is possible that high temperatures could persist further into next week, particularly in the south.
“Ex-Dexter sets the wheels in motion for an uptick in temperatures, but the weather patterns then maintaining any hot weather are rather more uncertain”.

In general, the weather in Scotland will be widely unsettled for the rest of the week. A huge system of heavier showers is to drench much of the country on Thursday, with the west coast to bear the brunt of the rain.
The good news is that by Thursday evening, most of these showers will have cleared up.
But Friday and Saturday are to bring more scattered showers with some dry areas.
