An “extreme” wildfire warning <\/a>has reached its final day in Scotland as rain is forecasted for tomorrow.<\/p>\n Multiple wildfires ignited different areas of the country this week as temperatures reached as high as 23C. Blazes gripped grassy verges and hills in the Highlands, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, the Isle of Arran<\/a>, Isle of Skye and West Dunbartonshire.<\/p>\n The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said crews remained at the scene of ongoing wildfires on Saturday and urged the public to “act responsibly”. On the Isle of Arran, mountain rescuers said pockets of fire continue to burn on Glen Rosa.<\/p>\n Hillwalkers have been told to avoid the area. A fire <\/a>has also been burning for two days in Acharacle in the Highlands, with fire crews at the scene.<\/p>\n The SFRS <\/a>issued the wildfire warning during a long period of dry weather. The warning will end on Sunday with light showers forecasted in the afternoon.<\/p>\n Met Office chief meteorologist Jason Kelly told the BBC<\/a>: “A change is on the way this weekend, as we say goodbye to the wall-to-wall sunshine. High pressure sinks southwards and allows low pressure to take hold bringing more cloud, rain and showers, and also lower temperatures.”<\/p>\n Until then, SFRS deputy assistant chief officer Kenny Barbour, said the risk of wildfires <\/a>remained while the warm and dry weather continued.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cWildfires have the potential to burn for days<\/a>, as we\u2019ve seen this week in Dumfries and Galloway, and they spread through vast areas of land in our countryside, which is devastating for those who live nearby. Our firefighters will continue to work with local landowners and other partners to bring these fires under control.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the warm and dry weather continues, so too does the risk of wildfire<\/a>, and so we are asking the public to exercise extreme caution and think twice before using anything involving a naked flame. Responsible human behaviour<\/a> can significantly lower the chance of a wildfire starting, so it is crucial that people act safely in rural environments and always follow the Scottish outdoor access code.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1744479251_903_0_CapturePNG.png\")
